Once born into childlike faith, brimming with belief, typical people begin to lose their faith. Society mocks them. Their friends smirk. They come to change the world, but over time the world changes them. Soon they forget who they were; they forget the faith they once had. Then one day someone tells them the truth, but they donโt want to go back, because theyโre comfortable in their new skin. Being a stranger in this world is never easy.
Ted DekkerI think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view.
Ted DekkerWriting wasn't about making money. I wanted to find fulfillment in writing and telling stories, and that's what's driven me.
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 DekkerThe four rules of writing... 1. Write to discover. 2. There is no greater discovery than love. 3. All love comes from the Creator. 4. Write what you will.
