Today I have an interview with Annie from Taiwan. I really liked her new book, so I offered to do an interview to help out. 1. What can you tell us a little about your “real” life — family, job, … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy book review: Galthain’s Bones by Krystine Kercher

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 7, 2015 by David BergslandMay 24, 2015

Galthain’s Bones (Exile Book 1) [yasr_overall_rating] I didn’t know this was a prequel or I would have probably rejected it. However, like Krystine’s Legends of Astarkand this book grew on me and I really enjoyed it. This is nearly the beginning of … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction book review: The Collar and the Cavvarach by Annie Douglass Lima

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 30, 2015 by David BergslandApril 30, 2015

This is a fun read. It reminded me of the Venture Trilogy—without any spiritual side. An orphan is saved from himself by wise adults and mentors. This is almost an urban fantasy in another world with strong parallels to ours. … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction book reviews: The Word Reclaimed & Word Unleased by Steve Rzasa

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 7, 2015 by David BergslandApril 7, 2015

The Word Reclaimed & The Word Unleashed OK, these are quite old—from Marcher Lord Press now Enclave Publishing: 2009 & 2010. They are also excellent Christian science fiction. To quote the blurb: Baden picked up the wrong book. In the far … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 7, 2015 by David BergslandApril 7, 2015

As you know, if you follow my reviews, I don’t like romances much, especially historical romances. I originally thought this was a fantasy, but it’s not. On the other hand, it was compelling enough to read it all More than … Continue reading →

Lyric fantasy book review: The Visitor by W.G. Reece

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 25, 2015 by David BergslandMarch 25, 2015

Those who know me know what is coming. I really dislike lyric, allegorical fantasy of the Anne Elisabeth Stengl type. I think this type of book should be a separate genre. But that’s just me. The Visitor is a lyric, allegorical fantasy … Continue reading →

Christian Thriller Book Reviews: The Grace Painter & The Treasure Box by Marc Romang

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 13, 2015 by David BergslandMarch 13, 2015

 I’m reviewing these together because I don’t normal read cop thrillers, Christian or not. I read them because I loved the first two books of Marc’s spiritual warfare Battle series:  Battle Scream & Battle Storm. I’m glad I did. These two books … Continue reading →

#christianscifi fantasy book review: The Jammer & The Blade by DJ Edwardson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 6, 2015 by David BergslandMarch 6, 2015

New author, for me anyway, who writes a fine tale: The Jammer and the Blade The question is who is he or she? I don’t have a clue beyond writerly cleverness—piff. To quote, “DJ Edwardson lives on the blank pages at … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 22, 2015 by David BergslandFebruary 17, 2015

This is the second book in a planned five-book series called The Ilyon Chronicles. I really dislike waiting for series to be complete. But… It’s as good as I hoped! Here’s the blurb from the Amazon page: “Following the harrowing events that brought them … Continue reading →

Christian Reviewers: Our call is to discern the spiritual level of books we read to help our readers know what to expect. This is meant to help Christian leadership, parents who need to keep track of what is being fed into their children's minds, and Christian authors—by encouraging them to write powerfully edifying Christian fiction.
