When I saw the cover, I said to myself, “Uh-oh.” From the description, I saw this is not what I usually read. But the Holy Spirit kept urging me to read it. This is a wonderful book Eli Rathebohn is … Continue reading →

Gritty, speculative Christian fiction

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 11, 2013 by David BergslandJuly 11, 2013

As you probably know, I read a lot [2-5 books a week]. I like Clancy, Cussler, De Brul, Dale Brown, Brad Thor, early Vince Flynn, W.E.B Griffin’s speculative Presidential Agent series, Baldacci’s Camel Club series, and so on. Most of … Continue reading →

The role of Messiah’s wife

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 18, 2013 by David BergslandJanuary 18, 2013

You want the baptism of the Holy Spirit

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 5, 2012 by David BergslandOctober 5, 2012

Though we believe it is true that you can be saved without what we now call the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, I’m not sure about that. It may well be true that this empowerment of the Holy Spirit is … Continue reading →

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.
