More quotes by Ted Dekker
And to understand how love unfolds, you must understand how Elyon loves.
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
Adrenaline dulls reason panic kills it.
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
Born of Black and White, Eaten with worms, I'm a Saint, a Sinner, a Siren of the Word, The Circle knows me, the rest just wanna trip on Grace Juice, Baby Showdown at midnight
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
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
Ted Dekker
The fact is not kill entire populations is able to infect entire regions of land and control the only cure.
Ted Dekker
In living we die, in dying we live.
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
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
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
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.
Ted Dekker
Knowing you’re worthless doesn’t give you value any more than knowing you are a captive sets you free.
Ted Dekker
Living is about clucking your tongue and enjoying the sound. ~Slater
Ted Dekker
I've already said you can't take anything from me that I wouldn't freely give you.
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.
Ted Dekker
A person who finds silence and solitude boring is a person who is himself boring, empty of anything worth consideration.
Ted Dekker
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.
Ted Dekker
But sometimes imperfect tools lead us toward perfect ends.
