Christian fantasy review: Bellanok, the Reluctant Savior by Ralene Burke

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 3, 2015 by David BergslandDecember 3, 2015

I really enjoyed this quick read. It was a good, clean booklet. But upon reflection, it’s quite sad. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] This is a good example of current “Christian” fiction. It looks and feels good until you realize that the stone … Continue reading →

Christian allegory: Disciple’s Quest by Walter F. Cantrell

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 1, 2015 by David BergslandDecember 1, 2015

Yes, this is a contemporary and well done Pilgrim’s Progress. It’s standard evangelical doctrine. The only disappointment is the sadly normal reduction of the Sword of the Spirit to quoting scripture. It’s nice to have a more modern rendition of … Continue reading →

Christian YA Urban Fantasy: Bloodline, The Chronicle of the Three, Book 1, by Tabitha Caplinger

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 23, 2015 by David BergslandNovember 23, 2015

Enjoyable read, entertaining, but perplexing I’ve really been wondering how to review this book. I had high hopes. It’s written by an Assembly of God youth pastor. It’s about spiritual warfare. So, it should be great, right? [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] The … Continue reading →

Christian YA Action/Adventure review: Daniel and the Sun Sword by Nathan Lumbatis

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 31, 2015 by David BergslandOctober 31, 2015

This tale’s a wild ride with spiritual warfare, monsters, demons, action, adventure, coming of age, orphans, adoption, abuse, and the kitchen sink. This is Raiders of the Lost Ark in Machu Picchu. It’s action/adventure way over the top—great fun. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] … Continue reading →

Tradepub Review: The Mark of Blood and Alchemy by Evangeline Denmark from Blink

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 26, 2015 by David BergslandOctober 26, 2015

OK, I know that Blink is a pretend Christian subsidiary of HarperCollins producing mainstream books for a mainstream audience. But I thought I’d check out this prequel to the first book of the YA fantasy trilogy,  Curio, to be released … Continue reading →
