Christian fantasy: Songkeeper, book 2 of the Songkeeper Chronicles by Gillian Bronte Adams

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 15, 2016 by David BergslandApril 15, 2016

What a ride! Like many second books, this one left me battered and depressed. I do get tired of that. In Christian fiction, I don’t feel like I need to feel I just watched the evening news—but really it wasn’t … Continue reading →

Christian Fantasy book review: Arrow by R.J. Anderson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 12, 2016 by David BergslandApril 12, 2016

Excellent entertainment with a smidgeon of Truth It’s actually an urban fantasy of sorts, taking place in England. As an Anglophile, I enjoyed that. We have fairies and magic, inter-racial romance, a power-hungry Queen attempting to throttle the Truth, violence, … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy: The Healer’s Rune by Lauricia Matuska

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 2, 2016 by David BergslandApril 2, 2016

What a fun ride this was. A world in which to escape with enough truth to keep it real. That’s what I look for in Christian fiction. This book qualifies. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] Christian fantasy entertainment This is not redemptive, yet … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction: Lynessa’s Curse by Adam David Collings

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 27, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 27, 2016

A quest with some large twists makes for a fun story. It takes place on Mars, 300 years after the collapse of civilization. The society is roughly feudal and the old technologies are seen as magic. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] Most of … Continue reading →

Christian Epic Fantasy: King’s Folly by Jill Williamson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 24, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 24, 2016

I was hesitant to use the word Christian in the title, because this is definitely not a Christian book. I know Jill is a Christian author, and she has virtually promised that the series will arrive at this spiritual destination … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 19, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 19, 2016

An award for excellence in Christian Redemptive Speculative Fiction This is simply a marvelous book. It is certainly one of the best books I read last year. What I really enjoyed was the reality of the relationship this old woman, … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction: And HE Healed Them ALL by Jeffrey McClain Jones

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 19, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 19, 2016

I always enjoy Jeffrey’s books. His contemporary speculative fiction is simply a joy. The first one I read was Seeing Jesus—about Jesus showing up in person for quite a while. It shows how that might transform a person’s life. Hearing Jesus is … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy: The Summoned King: Book One of The Kalymbrian Chronicles by Dave Neuendorf

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 11, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 11, 2016

This book was a joy to read. It is fantasy on a level rarely seen, as an inspiring teen deals with a kingship and arranged marriage out of the blue. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] This is type of fantasy I really like … Continue reading →

Christian Urban Fantasy: The Kingdom – Here Be Dragons, Here Be Dreams by Joanne Rolston

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 11, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 11, 2016

This one’s hard to categorize. Joanne says it’s in the same genre as Pilgrim’s Progress—but not really. It’s hard to tell, as I have never actually met the author, but it seems at least semi-auto-biographic. But none of this genre speculation gets … Continue reading →
