Ted Dekker
My stories are not Christianized at all. I don't even have any Christians in my stories. What they are, are stories about ordinary people going through extraordinary circumstances in which I'm exploring truth. How light overcomes darkness in a way that's unmistakable to anyone who has any kind of faith.
Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker
I think a woman is born with the desire to hear she is beautiful.
Ted Dekker
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's Veins. And those plunged beneath that watery grave to drink of His blood will never be the same.
Ted Dekker
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Halleluiah amen, you are dismissed.
Ted Dekker
And to understand how love unfolds, you must understand how Elyon loves.
Ted Dekker
In living we die, in dying we live.
Ted Dekker
I think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view. It's informed by our own understanding of spirituality things that matter, things that are important to us. I write about things that matter for me.
Ted Dekker
Come hither, my dear. Come hither, that I mightest protectest thou!
Ted Dekker
If Slater were someone else, Kevin would merely be the poor victim of a horrible plot. Unless he was killed by Slater, in which case he would be the dead victim of a horrible plot
Ted Dekker
