A definitive statement on the suicide of America by Dr. David Reagan is a refreshing read. This is the truth as I know it, and Dr. Reagan shares it clean, clear, and to the point. It’s not popular, but it’s accurate. As he says, this is not the time for patriotism. It’s time for massive repentance. I do not see that happening, nor does he. He lays out our position thoroughly, and clearly. He’s got it all … Continue reading →
A new typography resource, beautifully done Graphics.com gave a link today to an online book, Butterick’s Practical Typography [shareware, to use an old term] which looks to have some excellent pieces. I just read the first article: Drowning the Crystal Goblet. It is quite good. In it, the concept of invisible typography is taken apart. As I have taught that for years, it was good for me to hear the counter arguments. The second article: Typography in … Continue reading →
It’s hard not to be really disappointed. Joel has been a superb source of data and knowledge for many years. But there is no information here. This book is just a list of resources There is nothing here except a list of people I’ve never heard of. Of course, I live life in a relatively small niche. None of the people I know as resources in these categories are listed. I have no reason to think any of … Continue reading →
CC 2014 virtually redid ePUB export—adding fixed layout & radically improving reflowable ePUBs Indesign has always been the best software for publishing: print & ebook. I have already posted quite a bit about the new software. Most of the improvements seemed to be focused on we self-publishers. But my book is also redone— in places quite radically. A review by Mary Campagna Findley for the CS6 version “David Bergland has challenged me to think beyond the writing, editing, and cover design … Continue reading →
An impressive bit of high fantasy ††††† [I don’t have stars in this font] Or so I’m told. When David gave me copies to review he said something to the effect that as far as he knew I didn’t like high fantasy. That may well be true—especially the heathen versions of the same. I remember moving on to other genres because of all the nasty themes present in the books I was finding in the early 1970s. But … Continue reading →
Today we have a guest post from a man who is a reader of my work who has become a friend. A while back he told me he was going to write a review. I had no idea he would put so much effort into the attempt. I asked if I could share this and he said to do it. Pastor Dean Williams has been a pastor for over 30 years serving in “a multitude of denominational … Continue reading →
I received Northbound from Aspect Books, a subset of TEACH Services Inc. through BookCrash to review and it was a fun read. I was surprised to find that the book was set in the 1850s somewhere in Northern California, as I usually do not like historical novels. By the description I was expecting something modern. I was confused geographically by the town names as I knew the Feather River area. Somehow I had no idea they had gone so … Continue reading →
One of the real joys found in my recent spiritual growth spurt has been Jesse Duplantis. It is always a joy to find a person who is free to be what the Lord made him. God is infinitely creative and Jesse is in the image of his Father. His freedom in the Lord is a true inspiration to me. The Everyday Visionary gives a practical method of implementing your vision Though it’s a small book, I took … Continue reading →
The Duggars are conscripted by the CIA—well, not really. The dad is a doctor who was conscripted without his real knowledge or agreement. This is a doctor who deals with biological weapons of mass destruction often using his wife and many children as cover (and he hasn’t told them yet). This time they have an invite to go to China for a geography competition (but that’s peripheral to the story). The author is a doctor who has … Continue reading →
When I received my review copy from the author, I was a little concerned. My experience with Christian thrillers has often been boredom. As I started reading it, I was immediately drawn into the story. My only concern originally was that the evil dudes weren’t nasty enough, but they were truly horrid as I got to know them–absolutely ruthless. They were just always laughing and having a good time as they destroyed their targets and wreaked havoc … Continue reading →
