More quotes by Ted Dekker
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
Ted Dekker
And to understand how love unfolds, you must understand how Elyon loves.
Ted Dekker
There is indeed good and there is indeed evil, and both walk the earth. But good has little to do with the forms of religion, and evil has as little to do with so much behavior condemned by religion. Both good and evil vie for the passions of the heart. For love!
Ted Dekker
Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what is should flee. Forgetting it once had a true lover. Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow.
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

Ted Dekker
Where is God? Where can I find him? we ask. We don't realize that's like a fish swimming frantically through the ocean in search OF the ocean
Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.
Ted Dekker
The world didn’t like to look at the dark underside very often. But that didn’t change the ugliness it only ensured that those who perpetuated the ugliness were left alone to kill and maim and rape.
Ted Dekker
A person who finds silence and solitude boring is a person who is himself boring, empty of anything worth consideration.
Ted Dekker
The fact is not kill entire populations is able to infect entire regions of land and control the only cure.
Ted Dekker
All my books are very spiritual. I started out writing what was most natural to me, many years ago, which is religious, because I grew up in the jungle, the son of missionaries. I want to know, is God real? What's a priest's role?
Ted Dekker
Come hither, my dear. Come hither, that I mightest protectest thou!
Ted Dekker
What was once obvious to them was no longer quite as obvious. Why was it that humans lost sight of truth so quickly?
Ted Dekker
I've already said you can't take anything from me that I wouldn't freely give you.
Ted Dekker
I studied philosophy, religious studies, and English. My training was writing four full-length novels and hiring an editor to tear them apart. I had enough money to do that, and then rewriting and rewriting and rewriting.
Ted Dekker
If you could find a way to peel back the skin of this world so to speak, would you really see this supernatural reality that is greater? Is it true that we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers? Every young person wants to know.
Ted Dekker
I BELIEVE!!!!!!! - Johnny
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.
