More quotes by Ted Dekker
When I sit down to write a novel, I am exploring my own relationship with God, with the struggle between good and evil, my own purpose.
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
. . . 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.
Ted Dekker
Living is about clucking your tongue and enjoying the sound. ~Slater
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
Knowing you’re worthless doesn’t give you value any more than knowing you are a captive sets you free.
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
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
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
I think a woman is born with the desire to hear she is beautiful.
Ted Dekker
Born of Black and White, Eaten with worms, I'm a Saint, a Sinner, a Siren of the Word, The Circle knows me, the rest just wanna trip on Grace Juice, Baby Showdown at midnight
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
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
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.
Ted Dekker
God is obviouslt God, and Heaven obviously exsists, and every word spoken here on earth turns heads up there.
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
Live to discover, as long as discovery leads to a love that comes from the Creator... writing was the mirror to life.
Ted Dekker
It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be found.
Ted Dekker
I think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view.
Ted Dekker
And he wants you to keep that at the front of your mind? He wants you to stay focused on the darkest seasons of your life? How could that possibly do any good?' . . . He wants you to remember who delivered you from that time. That's the point of holding on to memory: delivery, not darkness.
Ted Dekker
