Review: Valley of Decision by Shannon McDermott 4 stars

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 7, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

This is a very intriguing and enjoyable Christian high fantasy leaning toward the heroic. The level of spirituality is Old Testament with potential self-chosen spiritual life change possible—though not common. A relationship with God is virtually unheard of among man but the … Continue reading →

Review: Objects of Wrath by Sean T Smith: 3+ stars

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 6, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

I wouldn’t call this a Christian book except on a basic Old Testament level, maybe barely evangelical with some Christian morals but no savior. It’s a gritty, tough view of the destruction of our world before the end times written … Continue reading →

Christian Book Review: The Battle Series #1 & #2 by Mark Romang

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 2, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

  These books are great fun! They are not nearly as radical as Guy Stanton’s books, but the spiritual warfare is well done even with the bow to Hollywoodisms. Originally, I found myself getting upset about the unreality of the … Continue reading →

Review: A Priestess of Mars by M.E. Brines

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 2, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

I had some trouble with this one. First of all, there were some severe formatting [not editing] issues that Michael and I chased down so that I think I can say they are only seen in iBooks, the ePUB3 ereaders, … Continue reading →

Four levels of Christian fiction: A call for reality with our characters…

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 23, 2014 by David BergslandMay 23, 2014

Warning! The following is outrageous personal opinion— hopefully written in obedience to the One whom I serve Of course, most of you might say, “My characters are already real.” In that case, again for many of you, I have to say, … Continue reading →

Review: Prince of Malorn, Annals of Alasia, III by Annie Douglass Lima

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 15, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

I had the opportunity to beta-read this one a couple of months ago with orders to blunt and objective in my critique. I did that. Annie was very open to suggestions. I really enjoyed the book. The evil regent is … Continue reading →

The Christian Clive Cussler does it again, a new series! The Water Wars by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 11, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

Journey Into The Deep, The Water Wars, Book #1 This one is yet another wonderful action/adventure, science fiction, fantasy, romance that I’ve come to love so much from Guy Stanton III. I’ve been enjoying Guy’s books so much that it … Continue reading →

Review: The Agents for Good series by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 9, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

Guy’s Agents for Good series, like the Warrior Kind series, are radical Christian action/adventure, romance thrillers with great characters, incredible action, and a pure romantic, erotic purity of marriage relationship which will satisfy those looking for testosterone-filled heroes mating for … Continue reading →

Review: The Last Place To Stand by Aaron K. Redshaw

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 5, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

This is not a Christian novel [though it was given to me as one]. The author is a believer. He claims the series will end up with Christian parts–eventually. It’s clean and inoffensive now. Nothing more. “1984” modernized That taken … Continue reading →

Review: The Millennium Soldier: The Ancient Ones by Voyle A. Glover

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 4, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

This book takes you to a new version of creation. It’s a fun ride. Is it Biblical? No. Is it edifying? Maybe, but I definitely found it useful. Here we have a new hero who is an ultimate atheist warrior. … Continue reading →
