Is it time for Christian fiction to die? by Eric Wilson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 20, 2016 by David BergslandApril 20, 2016

March 19, 2011 Eric wrote this over five years ago. I’d like to be able to say that we’ve come a long way since then. In some ways we have—but only for the indies and the self-publishers. Traditional publishers still have … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 29, 2014 by David BergslandDecember 29, 2014

Jeremy Bullard’s view on his call to write Christian fiction

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 17, 2014 by David BergslandNovember 6, 2014

In moving from the “practical realism” of Gannah to the “intensely magical” Gemworld, we move from a blatant depiction of Christians with a strong impact on an entire society to a world where God is more undercover—as He is often … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 14, 2014 by David BergslandNovember 6, 2014

This is another guest posting by Yvonne Anderson. I asked to her to talk about the world of Gannah. This is a fascinating planet. Vibrantly alive, dangerous, and filled with animals which can communicate with the people of Gannah, plus … Continue reading →

Guest post: The need & purpose of Christian speculative fiction by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 10, 2014 by David BergslandNovember 5, 2014
