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.

The fact is not kill entire populations is able to infect entire regions of land and control the only cure.
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
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
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
A person who finds silence and solitude boring is a person who is himself boring, empty of anything worth consideration.
Ted Dekker
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
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

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
I think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view.
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
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
Adrenaline dulls reason panic kills it.
Ted Dekker
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it
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But what was possible or practical had been replaced by a far baser impulse.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 would like my readers to close the cover at the end and say, 'Wow, I never thought of it like that before'.
Ted Dekker
Living is about clucking your tongue and enjoying the sound. ~Slater
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
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
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.
