What matters is discovering myself under the veneer, under the layers that are wrapped around me. There are two 'yous' there's 'you', the real you, and then there's the image.
Ted Dekker

It is critical that writers who embrace the light of Christ's redemptive love characterize the darkness arrayed against us in a way that is consistent with its true nature.
Ted Dekker

But sometimes imperfect tools lead us toward perfect ends.

My first seven novels were contemporary spiritual novels, my next nine had strong elements of fantasy, and now I'm writing thrillers, more as a choice to spread my wings than anything. Writers, like good wine, should mature with age.

I've already said you can't take anything from me that I wouldn't freely give you.

The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it

. . . your history is no less important to your survival than your ability to breathe. In the end, you can only determine whether to saturate your memories with pain or with perspective. Forgetting is not an option. I tell you the truth now: Pain was not God's plan for this life. It is a reality, but it is not a part of the plan.

And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?

The problem with any philosophical consideration is that once you open a door in your mind, you can never close it. Once you learn something, you can never convince your mind that you didn't learn it. If you learn the world is round, you can never fit in with a world that thinks it's flat.

The light came into the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it, but that no longer mattered because the light was now obliteration the darkness.
Ted Dekker
Image
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.

This will wreck you! Today, treat everyone you meet as if they're going to be dead by midnight. extend all the kindness and understanding you can, and do it with no thought of any reward.
Ted Dekker
Image
You'll have to learn to control your emotions. They're new, like achild's now, bursting with passion. Never let them fade, or part of you will die. But they cal also destroy you. Hold them dear, but don't let them take hold of you.
Ted Dekker

Most believers struggle to really believe in the supernatural as a meaningful, deterministic reality except during moments when they are drawn to it, perhaps during a worship service or while reading a novel like 'Adam.' Being drawn to this truth is the first step to living a life in accordance to this truth.
Ted Dekker

But what was possible or practical had been replaced by a far baser impulse. Hope.

A person who finds silence and solitude boring is a person who is himself boring, empty of anything worth consideration.

Live to discover, as long as discovery leads to a love that comes from the Creator... writing was the mirror to life.

The fact is not kill entire populations is able to infect entire regions of land and control the only cure.

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?

Come hither, my dear. Come hither, that I mightest protectest thou!
