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.

More quotes by Ted Dekker
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.
Ted Dekker
God is obviouslt God, and Heaven obviously exsists, and every word spoken here on earth turns heads up there.
Ted Dekker
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.
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
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
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
My writing is a very authentic journey of discovery. I'm going out there to learn who I am. My readers, consequently, take the same journey as my protagonist.
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
Adrenaline dulls reason panic kills it.
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
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
I BELIEVE!!!!!!! - Johnny
Ted Dekker
But what was possible or practical had been replaced by a far baser impulse. Hope.
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
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
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
Living is about clucking your tongue and enjoying the sound. ~Slater
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 think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view.
