More quotes by 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
The world’s bumper sticker reads: Life sucks, and then you die. Perhaps Christian bumper stickers should read: Life sucks, but then you find hope and you can’t wait to die.
Ted Dekker
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
I never write my stories as a wake-up call as such. I simply explore the kinds of situations that I find personally challenging by placing characters into situations that challenge them in similar ways.
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
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
I think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view.
Ted Dekker
But what was possible or practical had been replaced by a far baser impulse. Hope.
Ted Dekker
My research for 'Adam' affected me profoundly, particularly the research into evil's underbelly. We tend not to think about evil until it pokes its head out of the air about us and then it tends to scare us silly. As well it should.
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
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
And to understand how love unfolds, you must understand how Elyon loves.
Ted Dekker
It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be found.
Ted Dekker
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
Live to discover, as long as discovery leads to a love that comes from the Creator... writing was the mirror to life.
Ted Dekker
I BELIEVE!!!!!!! - Johnny
Ted Dekker
The fact is not kill entire populations is able to infect entire regions of land and control the only cure.
Ted Dekker
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.
