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.

More quotes by Ted Dekker
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.
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
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Halleluiah amen, you are dismissed.
Ted Dekker
But what was possible or practical had been replaced by a far baser impulse. Hope.
Ted Dekker
I think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view. It's informed by our own understanding of spirituality things that matter, things that are important to us. I write about things that matter for me.
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

Ted Dekker
But sometimes imperfect tools lead us toward perfect ends.
Ted Dekker
It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be found.
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
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
Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what is should flee. Forgetting it once had a true lover. Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow.
Ted Dekker
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it
Ted Dekker
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.
Ted Dekker
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
Ted Dekker
Adrenaline dulls reason panic kills it.
Ted Dekker
God is obviouslt God, and Heaven obviously exsists, and every word spoken here on earth turns heads up there.
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
Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.
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.
