David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 19, 2018 by David BergslandApril 20, 2018

Feelings were mixed as I opened the review copy I received from Bethany House of Darkwater Saga 3 Patrick W Carr The Wounded Shadow. Bethany has been sliding away from the faith for quite a while. I was afraid that Carr … Continue reading →

The Jesus Boy by Sean Elliot Russell gives us a wonder. This spirit-filled superhero Jesus boy presents an urban fantasy as an extension of true reality. The wondrous events ring true even though we know this is fiction. It’s clearly … Continue reading →

A spirit-filled thriller romance from Rosalind Morris

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 20, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 20, 2018

I just finished a spirit-filled thriller romance from Rosalind Morris called The Wages or The Gift and really enjoyed it. That says a lot because I quit reading thrillers a couple years back because of boredom and I’ve not enjoyed romances … Continue reading →

Tim Hurst spirit-filled fiction is a wonder

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 17, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 17, 2018

My only real complaint about Kinsman’s Tree [book 1—free] was that it was a pre-messiah spirituality. Tim Hurst spirit-filled fiction Æglet’s Answer fulfills my hope—better than I could have imagined. In a bold move, he has taken a wonderful, highly imaginative … Continue reading →

Exciting spiritual warfare surprises as well

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 9, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 9, 2018

Kingdom Come,  by Justin Coogle, has exciting spiritual warfare surprises for you. The blurb reads like a Roman Catholic nightmare. But the book is really much better than that. Because of the obvious RC setting, I was concerned as I started. … Continue reading →

I’m always excited to receive another book by Celesta Thiessen. This time I found Freedom’s Heroes written large in this surprising Christian YA Scifi. Celesta’s deceptively simple stories always intrigue the mind and bless the spirit. She loves dystopian scifi and … Continue reading →

Last Motley fantasy ignores spiritual reality for horror

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 15, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 6, 2018

A great cover, a wonderfully entertaining book, but Last Motley fantasy ignores spiritual reality for horror. In years past, I would have loved it. I really enjoyed it now also—but the sparseness of Truth tempers my enthusiasm. That’s probably because I’m … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 1, 2017 by David BergslandDecember 1, 2017

The Fifteenth Article by Linda Wood Rondeau presents a book with an inventive Christian dystopian future. It has a clear development of an evil godless government with a strongly persecuted believer minority. The characters are intriguing, though I can’t use compelling. … Continue reading →
