A Lady in Defiance by Heather Blanton

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 17, 2016 by Iola GoultonAugust 14, 2016

A Lady in Defiance is not your typical Christian fiction. It sounds as though it might be—three ladies settle in a lawless Colorado mining town. But this isn’t the genteel mining towns most Christian authors write about, where basically everyone … Continue reading →

Redemptive: The Gifts series by Jen Gentry

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 20, 2016 by David BergslandJuly 20, 2016

This reviews the first three books in the Gifts series by Jen. It’s a surprising bit of writing, and I really enjoyed it. It’s certainly Redemptive: The Gifts brings new fun to Christian Urban Fantasy. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] The stories follow the life … Continue reading →

Blades of Acktar fantasy by Tricia Mingerink

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 5, 2016 by David BergslandJuly 5, 2016

The Blades of Acktar fantasy series is excellent redemptive romance As a fantasy, the long-drawn out hemming and hawing of the romance compromises the story. But then when you are writing a romance, the actual life stories take second place. … Continue reading →

The DarkTrench Saga, Christian scifi, by Kerry Nietz

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 27, 2016 by David BergslandJune 27, 2016

The DarkTrench Saga, Christian scifi, grabbed my attention from the start of the first book, A Star Curiously Singing, to the last chapter of the third book, FreeHeads. I guess this qualifies as an oldie, but goody, coming as it does … Continue reading →

Christian Urban Fantasy: In the Shadows of Myrmidons

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 21, 2016 by David BergslandJune 21, 2016

Authors love some words, that’s my only excuse for the title of this book. Myrmidons are people fanatically dedicated to a cause. I can see where the superheroes are Myrmidons of hope, justice, and good. The story shows them as evil … Continue reading →

Epic fantasy: A lyrical slave king

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 7, 2016 by David BergslandJune 7, 2016

Epic fantasy with a lyrical slave king. In general, I find this type of fantasy irritating. I think it’s going to be a fun fantasy, once we get there. It’s quite entertaining. But this is definitely the obscure intro to a triple … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction: N.I.C.K., Cyber Babel One by TJ Tucker

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 4, 2016 by David BergslandJune 4, 2016

OK! Christian Science Fiction is stretching it a bit. It’s not off the planet, and it’s not very far in the future. But it is Christian Religious fiction. It does involve something scientifically which is not available, and probably not … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction Spirit-Filled Award

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 31, 2016 by David BergslandDecember 29, 2021

For a Christian Science Fiction Spirit-Filled series, Yvonne Anderson’s books are rarely equaled. Gateway to Gannah is one of the best I’ve read this decade. Book one, The Story In The Stars, is the best of the four books in the series—though … Continue reading →
