Nanostealth series gets spirit-filled recognition

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 6, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 6, 2021

Nanostealth series gets well-deserved recognition for a wonderful spirit-filled series. Vikki has produced another wonderful series—this time in a speculative techo-thriller, or sci-fi, or fantasy, or something like that. As usual, I reread the entire series, and I was gone … Continue reading →

The Reign Series offers speculative refreshment

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 6, 2020 by David BergslandOctober 16, 2020

The Reign Series offers speculative refreshment in a world gone mad. As we bring the end of the church age to a close, a simple breath of fresh air seems like a life raft on a stormy sea. Here’s a … Continue reading →

Nod by Brannon Hollingsworth makes me sad

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 12, 2018 by David BergslandMay 12, 2018

I don’t like writing reviews like this. I joined a Goodreads Christian book review group. This is the book I was assigned. But, Nod by Brannon Hollingsworth makes me sad. It’s a well-written, exciting, and entertaining little tale. If it were a … Continue reading →

Extreme Speculative Christian – The Chronicles of the Sons of None

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 1, 2017 by David BergslandNovember 1, 2017

Extreme Speculative Christian • The Chronicles of the Sons of None blows the walls off the category—not! Like many books in the category, speculation rules and Biblical is left far behind. As a promoter of redemptive fiction, I hate to … Continue reading →

The Pre-Christian Kinsmans Tree contains truth

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 27, 2017 by David BergslandJune 27, 2017

Importantly, the Pre-Christian Kinsmans Tree contains truth in enough measure to work well. This fantasy of a unique world at times seems to be allegorical Genesis. And, then again it’s pure fantasy. The Kinsman’s Tree is rich with meaning on many … Continue reading →

Sky ships nasty villains in a bit of entertaining fluff

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 7, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 7, 2017

The Bloodheart is a supposedly Christian fantasy by an excellent writer who pulled the punches, really badly. Sky ships nasty villains in a bit of entertaining fluff tells it all. While I enjoyed the authorial dexterity, there is nothing here but entertainment. … Continue reading →

Edgy Christian romance surprised me with a good story

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 3, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 3, 2017

It isn’t often that my jaded, old, viewpoint is poked. But an Edgy Christian romance surprised me last night. Cries from a Crusty Heart looks like it would be horrible. It starts with a hunky angel guide offering to kill all the people … Continue reading →

Dystopian YA thriller: The Senator’s Youngest Daughter

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 29, 2016 by David BergslandDecember 29, 2016

This book reads like a dystopian YA thriller —though the characters seem to be bit older. It’s a familiar scenario. Here’s the prologue: Eight years ago, at the height of a media crisis centered on a controversial decision by the … Continue reading →

Spiritual fantasy stripped of truth: The Returning by Rachelle Dekker

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 1, 2016 by David BergslandSeptember 1, 2016

This book is #3 of the Seer series, by Dekker’s daughter, Rachelle. I found it to be well written, seriously entertaining, but a spiritual fantasy stripped of truth. I haven’t read The Choosing, book one in the series or The Calling, book … Continue reading →

Spirit-Filled fiction award: The Proverbial War by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 19, 2016 by David BergslandMay 19, 2016

Well, I had to reread the next one also: Book Two in the Water Wars Series. It’s also as good as I remember it. You need to realize what Guy has done with his spirit-filled stories. He puts despicable, damaged, … Continue reading →
