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 →

Spirit-Filled fiction award: The Proverbial War by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 19, 2016 by David BergslandMay 19, 2016

Well, I had to reread the next one also: Book Two in the Water Wars Series. It’s also as good as I remember it. You need to realize what Guy has done with his spirit-filled stories. He puts despicable, damaged, … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy review: Samara’s Peril, book 3 in the Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 16, 2016 by David BergslandMay 16, 2016

She did it! Praise the Lord! OK> Some decorum now. I really liked the first two books of this series. The only complaint was that they were 2-star spiritually—Old Testament level. The walk with God was very compelling, but there … Continue reading →

Christian Political Thriller: Open Warfare, Book 2 in Hidden Thrones by Russ Scalzo

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 14, 2016 by David BergslandMay 15, 2016

I know. The second book is where the trouble reaches its peak. Everything falls apart and victory seems far away. For me, it’s hard reading a second book with no third book available. I’m beginning to see afresh my wife’s … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction: The Shatterworld trilogy by Lelia Rose Foreman

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 2, 2016 by David BergslandMay 2, 2016

This trilogy has Shatterworld, Circumnavigation of Shatterworld, and Pacifists’ War Don’t let the enigmatic nature of the covers or the 12 year old heroine in the first book deter you. These are seriously good novels. The basic plot is an old one: a … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 26, 2016 by David BergslandApril 26, 2016

I just gave this a brief review on Amazon: “This was a fun read. It’s a bit predictable, but the twists are interesting. The tale is fun–the good guys and gals are admirable. The scenario is exciting. It’s good Christian … Continue reading →
