Living in a disposable universe

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 5, 2024 by David BergslandMay 5, 2024

Living in a disposable universe is our reality until the flesh is gone. What we experience in the flesh is a short term universe designed for a specific purpose. Then it will be tossed—dissolved in fire, the greatest fireworks shows … Continue reading →

The spiritual basis of marketing

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 20, 2015 by David BergslandSeptember 20, 2015

This is for Christian authors I ran across this statement this morning in Scripture as I was beginning my Sabbath time with the Lord. ““For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and … 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 →

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 →

Review: The Great Darkening, #1 Epic of Haven trilogy

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 26, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

Many of you know I dislike poetry and flowery allegory. This book is full of that. What is missing is a savior and holy spirit. The evil is presented well. The faithful, not nearly so much. They are desperately holding … Continue reading →

Review: The Warrior Kind, 5-book series, is great fun

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 3, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

What a fun action/adventure, scifi, fantasy Christian world this is! Guy S. Stanton III is a man to watch. I’m not sure where these books came from. His Website is fascinating and strong. As far as I can tell he … Continue reading →

Review: The Staff & The Sword trilogy by Patrick W. Carr

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 29, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

This trilogy started out with one of the best books I have read for many years. A Cast of Stones brought me into the life of a brutalized orphan, Errol, in a way which I have not enjoyed in a long … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 11, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

Review: Fallen Kings by Sarah Witenhaufer

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 7, 2014 by David BergslandMarch 3, 2014

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.
