Nanostealth series gets spirit-filled recognition

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 6, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 6, 2021

Nanostealth series gets well-deserved recognition for a wonderful spirit-filled series. Vikki has produced another wonderful series—this time in a speculative techo-thriller, or sci-fi, or fantasy, or something like that. As usual, I reread the entire series, and I was gone … Continue reading →

The Reign Series offers speculative refreshment

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 6, 2020 by David BergslandOctober 16, 2020

The Reign Series offers speculative refreshment in a world gone mad. As we bring the end of the church age to a close, a simple breath of fresh air seems like a life raft on a stormy sea. Here’s a … Continue reading →

Patrick Carr Magi Tale

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 15, 2019 by David BergslandDecember 15, 2019

This season I was given a Patrick Carr Magi Tale to review, no strings. By its very nature, this is an extra-biblical story as there is virtually nothing in the scriptures themselves. That being said, entertainment reveals itself here. There is … 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 →

Solidly Christian cyberpunk dystopian YA done well

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 9, 2017 by David BergslandDecember 9, 2017

Android Uprising is a truly fun book of solidly Christian cyberpunk dystopian YA. Den has developed a wonderful series. I’m praying for the Lord to anoint it for the readers. This is what I hope for with Christian fiction of this … Continue reading →

Huge asteroid cometh

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 11, 2017 by David BergslandNovember 11, 2017

A huge asteroid cometh as we are told: “The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures … Continue reading →

YA utopian thriller a real joy

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 17, 2017 by David BergslandOctober 17, 2017

I received a YA utopian thriller the other—an end of the Millennium thriller. Named The Final Prophet, this story of the final end of days was an uplifting joy to read. Though some might find too much teaching, the tale would … Continue reading →

Redemptive Science Fiction Firestarter is an intriguing tale

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 8, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 8, 2017

As an example of Redemptive Science Fiction Firestarter is an intriguing tale. This is speculative science fiction with a core of truth—probably. As Vance says in his intro to Firestarter: “I hope I have created a story that is enjoyable to … Continue reading →

Transhumanism enters mainstream politics

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 22, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 22, 2017

It’s Luciferian doublespeak with a serious twist—this guy is what looks like a viable politic candidate with some very attractive options for technological enthusiasts. He … Continue reading →

Edgy Christian romance surprised me with a good story

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 3, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 3, 2017

It isn’t often that my jaded, old, viewpoint is poked. But an Edgy Christian romance surprised me last night. Cries from a Crusty Heart looks like it would be horrible. It starts with a hunky angel guide offering to kill all the people … Continue reading →
