Title: Ted Dekker
Post by: a.b. on December 05, 2003, 10:13:32 AM
Anybody read Ted Dekker Books?  I think they are great!  My favorite are Blessed Child and Three.  If you haven't read them
check your local library to see if they have them on hand or can they order them.  My library gets all the latest Christian fiction.  A lot of the libraries in the South stock Christian fiction and non-fiction.  If your library does, take a look a Ted Dekker's books and let me know what you think.

I read one Ted Dekker book "Blink" and was immediately hooked - I've now read all of his Christian novels and am anxiously awaiting his next.

For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Dekker – he grew up the son of missionaries in the jungles of Indonesia – he has a couple of degrees – and REALLY know how to “spin a yarn”.  For action and suspense, his work rivals most all popular secular writers.  It is SO wonderful to be kept at the “edge of my seat” without having to put up with all the sex and profanity that goes with most popular novels.  
And ladies – don’t be put off by the action/suspense – his novels also have a “love story” connection!

AMEN to that!!  I'm surprised more people have not read his work!  I have a cousin who is not saved and she loved "Three"
She read it in 3 days!  And said that it would make a good movie and then went to the library to get another Ted Dekker
novel.  You never know, his books may be a way to witness to
others...

His next book is due out in Feb; it is the first of a trilogy.  I'm looking forward to it...

Happily reading,
