Biblical historical fiction review: The Stone of Ebenezer by Susan Van Volkenburgh

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 7, 2015 by David BergslandSeptember 7, 2015

If you know me, you realize that I do not read Biblical fiction out of concern that I might add something fictional in one of my Bible studies.  I teach a lot from memory, and I do not want Biblical … Continue reading →

Review: Valley of Decision by Shannon McDermott 4 stars

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 7, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

This is a very intriguing and enjoyable Christian high fantasy leaning toward the heroic. The level of spirituality is Old Testament with potential self-chosen spiritual life change possible—though not common. A relationship with God is virtually unheard of among man but the … 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 →

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 →

Interview: Jaye L. Knight, author of Resistance released this week…

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

A brief talk with Jaye L. Knight about her writing I was impressed with her second series, The Makilien Trilogy. I’ve not read her first, Pirates and Faith. She is yet another of the bright, talented, well-educated results of homeschooling. I am … 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 →

The Biblical account is true because Jesus said so

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 20, 2012 by David BergslandFebruary 1, 2021

I’m including two of Roger Melquist’s planks in his platform on which our belief that the earth is young stands. These two planks are tied together by their focus on the truth of scripture. PLANK #5 Because of the Orthodox … 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.
