David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 5, 2014 by David BergslandMarch 25, 2015

When I asked Yvonne Anderson (as we were discussing her latest release in the Gateway to Gannah series), what God had called her to do with her writing, her interest led me to ask her to write a guest post … Continue reading →

Sparseness: yet another disturbing trend with Christian speculative fiction

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 22, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 22, 2014

I’ve read several Christian fantasies lately, especially those supposedly for children, which have been written in a style which severely hurts the quality of the books. Now, I’m not advocating the type of story seen in the comic cover to … Continue reading →

Working with the Holy Spirit on your book

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 28, 2014 by David BergslandMarch 24, 2019

Here’s where the rubber meets the road. If the Holy Spirit is deeply involved in your conscious life, He offers you help of which the world has no concept. Paul tells us that Jesus is our righteousness and our wisdom. … Continue reading →

Christian book review: Ransom on the Rock and the Gateway to Gannah series

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 17, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2014

I’m only showing the cover from book #3, because I {and Yvonne agrees} do not consider the covers of the first two books to be professional. They were done outside of her control by the publisher. Great Christian science fiction … Continue reading →

Does Christian fiction matter?

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 5, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 5, 2014

I only recently began reading Christian fiction almost exclusively. As many of you know, I rate the level of Christianity in the spec fic I read in the reviews I post to this blog. Over the past four days I had … Continue reading →

These are those days…prophesied by Peter

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 5, 2014 by David BergslandJuly 6, 2014

When is His coming? Which one is it? In the excitement of the last days a very important fact is not been taught. There are three major Messianic events! You need to be wise and discern the times. Do you think … Continue reading →

Christian Book Review: The Champion by Glen Robinson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 21, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

OK! It’s just another thriller. The first book in The Champion Trilogy. I’ll give you that, but the life of this champion comes pretty close to reality. This is no obnoxious preaching, goody two-shoes hero. God’s ways are far above … Continue reading →

The absurdity of writer’s block

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 20, 2014 by David BergslandJune 20, 2014

Almost daily someone, in one of the online groups I participate in, asks for prayers about their so-called writer’s block. I just read an very good article by Andrew Lewis Conn in Publisher’s Weekly. He makes some excellent points—giving 7 … Continue reading →

Why writing and book publishing matter

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 13, 2014 by David BergslandMay 13, 2014

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 →
