The Emerald Enigma Space Drifters falls short

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 8, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 8, 2017

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 11, 2014 by David BergslandNovember 3, 2014

In my opinion, this is probably the best Christian science fiction I have ever read. Is it the most compelling science fiction in general? No. Is it the best written? Certainly, many would say no. So, why do I think … 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.
