Christian book review: Waiting For Appa by Mirtika

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 27, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 27, 2014

In fact it is better than that. It is anointed godly writing of truth. I highly recommend it for believer or heathen…oops! Said a naughty… It proves what I’ve always thought: excellent content about the Lord plus good writing is … Continue reading →

Christian book review: The Place Of Voices by Lauren Lynch

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 26, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 27, 2014
The Place of Voices by Lauren Lynch

It must be a record for me—two chick-lit books in a row. Of course, my definition is probably very different than most. For me it’s a book about relationships and the characters don’t do anything—no saving the world, getting the … Continue reading →

Christian book review: The Fallen Angel by Daniel Silva

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 24, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 24, 2014

No, Daniel Silva is not a Christian, but I have always really enjoyed his books following the fictional life of Gabriel Allon, Israeli spy and art restorer. Now that I rarely read anything but Christian books, I still find Silva’s … Continue reading →

Christian book review: Thunder In The Morning Calm by Don Brown

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 22, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 22, 2014

Don Brown writes nice gently Christian tales of the Navy in the Pacific. They are not exceptional other than the fact they depict a Navy officer who’s a Christian (sometimes more than one in other stories) in life and death situations. His characters are … Continue reading →

Sparseness: yet another disturbing trend with Christian speculative fiction

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 22, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 22, 2014

I’ve read several Christian fantasies lately, especially those supposedly for children, which have been written in a style which severely hurts the quality of the books. Now, I’m not advocating the type of story seen in the comic cover to … Continue reading →

Christian book review: FirstBorn: A Novel by Lorie Ann Grover

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 20, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 20, 2014

Here we have a potentially very good book which has seemingly been ruined by the editing policies of a large traditional publisher. I have no idea if Zondervan did it, or Lorie, but regardless, it was done. It is very … Continue reading →

Christian book review: The Land of Flames by Cynthia P. Willow

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 18, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 18, 2014

This is a story where the dragons were abused by an evil wizard and in revenge have killed all humans and become as bad as the wizard ever was. The fairies, elves, dwarves, centaurs, and so on desire their freedom … Continue reading →

Christian book review: Celtic Cross by Tammy Doherty

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 17, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 17, 2014

After living in New Mexico for twenty five years, a good western always feels like going home. This is a very nice Western. The Christianity is low level evangelical. In other words, there’s no rebirth transformation and no personal communication … Continue reading →

Christian Book Review: Collide: Birth of a New Race by L. A. Ramsey

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 16, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 16, 2014

OK, I snookered myself into a romance. Under the guise that it is a fantasy, I promised accept a free copy—then read it and review it. It’s a fun read Though it’s classed as a historical romance, there’s little history … Continue reading →

Christian book review: F. A.I.R.I.E.S.: Baptism By Fire by M C Pearson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 10, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 17, 2014

This book I’m almost embarrassed to admit I liked it as much as I did I must admit I had a hard time taking this story seriously. But it held my interest well, and I really enjoyed it. It’s a … Continue reading →
