Christiansciencefic book review: Dawn of Destiny (Epic #1) by Lee Stephen

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 8, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 10, 2015

It doesn’t get much better for a Christian Science Fiction military thriller. The spiritual side of things is downplayed, but realistic. As it all plays out in the rest of the series, the evangelical side of the hero might well … Continue reading →

Are long tail keywords the best hope for Christian Speculative Fiction?

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 8, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 8, 2015

There is a long, but interesting, post about long tail theory in Publishing Perspectives this morning. The theory is 10 years old, according to the article. If you do not know, the basic idea is that long keywords of three … Continue reading →

Christian Thriller Review: The Inner Society by Melinda Louise Bohannon

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 7, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 7, 2015

It’s brutal, but ends pretty good. I don’t like books that are so painful emotionally. Many of you like that sort of thing. I don’t pretend to understand that level of masochism, but then I betray my prejudices. It’s well … Continue reading →

They thought they had more time: I saw the day of the Lord by David Jones

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 6, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 10, 2015

A vital message presented again: Jesus is coming soon! This is yet another prophet/evangelist/pastor whom the Lord has spoken to, by word or vision, to make them urgent to tell us about the Soon Coming King. It’s done well in … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction: Seeing Jesus by Jeffrey McClain Jones

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 2, 2015 by David BergslandMarch 19, 2016

So, your grandmother, who you’ve unknowingly relied upon spiritually through the years, has a stroke. You go to the hospital and pour your heart out to her asking her to pray for you. Shortly thereafter Jesus shows up in person, … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction review: The Kingdom by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 30, 2014 by David BergslandJanuary 12, 2015

Guy has done it again. This is a wonderful book. Let me give you the blurb, and then we can talk about it. The sands blow hollowly across the plains of time. Unseen by man an army was on the … Continue reading →

Christian science fiction review: Firebird: a trilogy by Kathy Tyers

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 27, 2014 by David BergslandDecember 27, 2014

Finally, a book which lives up to its reputation. Well, there is the problem of dealing with paper, bindings, light sources and all the rest required to read the archaic medium. 🙂 This is an excellent science fiction epic However, … Continue reading →

Christian dystopian fiction review: The Safe Lands by Jill Williamson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 26, 2014 by David BergslandDecember 26, 2014

This is a series I’ve been half-heartedly waiting to finish for a long time. Because it is traditionally published by Zondervan, I was very suspect of the spiritual level of the books. In addition, for the same reason, they were … Continue reading →

This is a very good series. I’m pleased Rikki gave me review copies. Those of you who know me recognize I do not pull my punches. These books surprised me in a good way. Though it is targeted at teenage … Continue reading →

Christian Science fiction review: Firebird by Kathy Tyers

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 2, 2014 by David BergslandDecember 2, 2014

This is supposed to be the classic Christian sci-fi. I’m at 4-stars or a bit less. I know, “How can I say that?” The cover I’d give 2.5 stars: poor typography, top half of book is white so the thumbnail … Continue reading →
