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.

In living we die, in dying we live.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Halleluiah amen, you are dismissed.

Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.

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.
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
Image
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

I think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view.
Ted Dekker
Image
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.

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.

It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be found.

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.

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.

And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
Ted Dekker
Image
But what was possible or practical had been replaced by a far baser impulse.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.

If you could find a way to peel back the skin of this world so to speak, would you really see this supernatural reality that is greater? Is it true that we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers? Every young person wants to know.

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.

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.

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