Ted Dekker quotes

Like all of my fictions, Sinner is a mirror. Look into it and you will find yourself. What you do with what you see is your choice. (Ted Dekker)

Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker
If readers, young and old, would take even a moment to reflect on our rapidly shifting culture and ideology, I would be happy. Many leaders of the older generation dismiss emerging culture. Those leaders are at risk of becoming a feeble voice-piece without followers. Most of the younger generation is going deaf to the truth. View quote
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. View quote
