The Fire: How do we make specfic real?

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 18, 2015 by David BergslandOctober 22, 2015

As you know, one of the major areas of my life is reading speculative fiction, specifically fantasy, science fiction, action/adventure, and political/military thrillers. 4-5 years ago, I was going blithely along reading what I could find in heathen fiction that … Continue reading →

Christian Western review: Dust Storm by Cliff Ball

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 18, 2015 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2015

[yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] It could be so much more I hate writing bad reviews, but this short story is typical of what has produced the bad rep of “Christian fiction”. It’s utterly predictable, no tension, everything happens smoothly with little real … Continue reading →

Christian book review: The Place Of Voices by Lauren Lynch

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 26, 2014 by David BergslandSeptember 27, 2014
The Place of Voices by Lauren Lynch

It must be a record for me—two chick-lit books in a row. Of course, my definition is probably very different than most. For me it’s a book about relationships and the characters don’t do anything—no saving the world, getting the … Continue reading →

Christian book review: Gemworld by Jeremy Bullard

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 21, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 21, 2014

This is the first book of The Facets of Reality series, and I loved it! It is an exceptionally inventive piece of speculative fiction—probably in the fantasy genre. But, it’s so much more. The characters are compelling. The action is … Continue reading →

Review: Objects of Wrath by Sean T Smith: 3+ stars

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 6, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

I wouldn’t call this a Christian book except on a basic Old Testament level, maybe barely evangelical with some Christian morals but no savior. It’s a gritty, tough view of the destruction of our world before the end times written … Continue reading →

Four levels of Christian fiction: A call for reality with our characters…

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 23, 2014 by David BergslandMay 23, 2014

Warning! The following is outrageous personal opinion— hopefully written in obedience to the One whom I serve Of course, most of you might say, “My characters are already real.” In that case, again for many of you, I have to say, … 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.
