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

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.

He was as needy as she was. Alvin Finch only wanted to be needed. Loved. And absent of either, he resorted to deflecting his pain by killing. Just like a teenager might resort to deflecting the pain of rejection by cutting. People did a lot of crazy things to be wanted.

Our lives hang in the balance of unpredictable situations. One minute you're driving down the road whistling a tune, the next moment the car right in front of you spins out of control and crashes. How you prepare for those unpredictable occurrences determines whether you live or die. Always leave an empty lane to your right or left for escape.

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.

But sometimes imperfect tools lead us toward perfect ends.

Image
Grow up? Get herself straightened out? Her mind reeled from the verbal battering. No matter what she did, her father would tell her she was wrong. Worthless. Undeserving.

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.

Image
A person who finds silence and solitude boring is a person who is himself boring, empty of anything worth consideration.
Ted Dekker
Image
God is obviouslt God, and Heaven obviously exsists, and every word spoken here on earth turns heads up there.
Ted Dekker
Image
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

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.

I would like my readers to close the cover at the end and say, 'Wow, I never thought of it like that before'.
