Ted Dekker

Being drawn to this truth is the first step to living a life in accordance to this truth.
Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker
But sometimes imperfect tools lead us toward perfect ends.
Ted Dekker
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
Ted Dekker
A person who finds silence and solitude boring is a person who is himself boring, empty of anything worth consideration.
Ted Dekker
Come hither, my dear. Come hither, that I mightest protectest thou!
Ted Dekker
God is obviouslt God, and Heaven obviously exsists, and every word spoken here on earth turns heads up there.
Ted Dekker
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.
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
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.
