Christian fantasy book review: The Stonegate Sword by Harry James Fox

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 15, 2015 by David BergslandJune 15, 2015

This very enjoyable  book is challenging to categorize [as many of the new christian books are these days]. It is definitely Christian. It is a futuristic medieval-style of fantasy which is neither apocalyptic nor dystopian, yet American society has been destroyed … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy book review: Dare, Book 1, The Blades of Acktar by Tricia Mingerink

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 30, 2015 by David BergslandMay 30, 2015

When Tricia told me her book was a YA Christian fantasy with similar themes to Jaye L. Knight’s Ilyon Chronicles, I told her I wanted to review it. Even though the Ilyon Chronicles were not as good in my mind as … Continue reading →

Christian urban fantasy review: Whispers of a Faded Dreamer by Celesta Thiessen

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 30, 2015 by David BergslandMay 30, 2015

Actually, the story is closer to science fiction than it is to fantasy. But it’s an excellent story. Celesta’s books are always deceptively simple and direct. This book should be one of my worst fears: a lyrical, allegorical fantasy. But … Continue reading →

Ok, I don’t like clean reads or fantasies which devolve into a man and a woman struggling with thwarted desire. This book is both. Because it’s just a clean read, I have to give it a one-star rating in this … Continue reading →

Galthain’s Bones (Exile Book 1) [yasr_overall_rating] I didn’t know this was a prequel or I would have probably rejected it. However, like Krystine’s Legends of Astarkand this book grew on me and I really enjoyed it. This is nearly the beginning of … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 7, 2015 by David BergslandApril 7, 2015

The Word Reclaimed & The Word Unleashed OK, these are quite old—from Marcher Lord Press now Enclave Publishing: 2009 & 2010. They are also excellent Christian science fiction. To quote the blurb: Baden picked up the wrong book. In the far … Continue reading →

Christian Reviewers: Our call is to discern the spiritual level of books we read to help our readers know what to expect. This is meant to help Christian leadership, parents who need to keep track of what is being fed into their children's minds, and Christian authors—by encouraging them to write powerfully edifying Christian fiction.
