Thereโs a reason we are drawn to the light. A reason why we fear darkness. Itโs important to be terrified and unnerved about certain things. That way we will choose another path. The path that leads us to truth and love.
Ted DekkerWe Christian writers must paint evil with the blackest of brushes, not to sow fear, but to call out the monsters to be scattered by our light. If Satan cloaks himself as an angel of white, intent on deceiving the world, any attempt on our parts to minimize evil is only complicit with his strategy... Turn to the light; donโt fear the shadows it creates.
Ted DekkerHow can you hope to recognize good and evil for what they truly are if you have no belief in a moral authority greater than yourself?
Ted DekkerMy stories are not Christianized at all. I don't even have any Christians in my stories. What they are, are stories about ordinary people going through extraordinary circumstances in which I'm exploring truth. How light overcomes darkness in a way that's unmistakable to anyone who has any kind of faith.
