More quotes by Ted Dekker
I always managed to get in trouble, like every kid. But I had to learn a lot of hard lessons on my own, without parents who would nurture me and guard me through that part of life, at a very young age.
Ted Dekker
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.
Ted Dekker
She was having some difficulty piecing together exactly why she deserved to be in this place, but she wasn't stupid enough to deny that in the end life was cruel and didn't pay attention to what was fair.
Ted Dekker
A person who finds silence and solitude boring is a person who is himself boring, empty of anything worth consideration.
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
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
I would like my readers to close the cover at the end and say, 'Wow, I never thought of it like that before'.
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
It's the sorrow you feel that allows you to crave love. Without the suffering, there would be no true pleasure. Without tears, no joy. Without deficiency, no longing. This is the secret of the human heart, Rom.
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
It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be found.
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
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
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.
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
You should know something, Miriam.... God changed our futures yesterday. There's no other explanation for what happened. And it wasn't the first God. If you ever need hlep, you might want to try the second God.
Ted Dekker
Thrillers provide the reader with a safe escape into a dangerous world where the stakes are as high as can be imagined with unpredictable outcomes. It's a perfect genre in which to explore hard issues of good and evil, a mirror that allows the reader to see both the good and not so good in themselves.
Ted Dekker
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.
Ted Dekker
I've already said you can't take anything from me that I wouldn't freely give you.
Ted Dekker
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
Ted Dekker
