Black

Fleeing assailants through alleyways in Denver late one night, Thomas Hunter narrowly escapes to the roof of an industrial building. Then a silent bullet from the night clips his head and his world goes Black. Now Thomas wakes from a deep sleep, remembering the vivid dream he just had of being chased. Incredibly real. His head is even bleeding but he’s fallen on a rock. He’s in a green forest, waiting to meet Rachelle, the woman he’s falling madly in love with. That night, Thomas tumbles into bed and falls into a fitful sleep. He dreams. But here comes the real mind bender. Every time Thomas falls asleep in one reality, he awakes in the other.

Saint

An assasin. The most effective killer in the world. And yet…
Carl Strople struggles to retain fleeting memories that betray an even more ominous reality. He’s been told part of the truth but what’s the rest?

Invasive techniques have stripped him of his identity and made him someone new for this he is grateful. But there are some things they can’t take from him. The love of a woman, unbroken loyalties to his past, the need for survival.

From the deep woods of Hungary to the streets of New York, Saint takes you on a journey of betrayal in a world of government cover ups, political intrigue, and one man’s search for the truth. In the end, that truth will be his undoing.

Sinner

Some say roll with the punches. Drift with the tide. Nothing can stop the inevitability of change. There was a time when 300 Spartans disagreed with such mindless thinking and stood in the gap.

Now it’s time for 3,000 to stand in the gap.

Sinner is the story of Marsuvees Black, a force of raw evil who speaks with wicked persuasion that is far more destrictive than swords or guns. Beware all who stand in his way.

It’s also the story of Billy Rediger and Darcy Lange, two unsuspecting survivors of a research project gone bad, who discover that they are perhaps the two most powerful souls in the land. Listen to them or pay a terrible price.

And it’s the story of Johnny Drake, the one who comes out of the desert and leads the 3,000. Follow him and die.

Sinner tells the story of a free land where people who worship as they please and say what they believe are suddenly silenced in the name of tolerance.

Immanuel’s Veins

This story is for everyone–but not everyone is for this story.

It is a dangerous tale of times past. A torrid love story full of deep seduction. A story of terrible longing and bold sacrifice.

Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what it should flee. Forgetting it once had a truer lover.

With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds.

Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow.

Because the battle for the heart is always violently opposed. For those desperate to drink deep from this fountain of life, enter.

But remember, not everyone is for this story.

Thr3e

Dekker delivers another page turner with this psychological Christian thriller about Kevin Parson, a 28 year old seminary student who suddenly becomes the target of an evil nemesis called Slater. Obsessed both with Kevin’s downfall and the number 3, Slater initiates a game in which Kevin must answer riddles to avoid Slater’s destructive, potentially murderous retribution. Slater particularly wants Kevin to publicly confess a secret sin, and Kevin is at a loss as to what that sin might be. Once Dekker establishes this premise, he masterfully takes readers on a ride full of plot twists and turns. Not only does he spin a compelling tale of cat and mouse, but he also creates a narrative world in which it’s possible that no one is quite who he or she seems. Dekker gradually discloses his protagonist’s nightmarish childhood and delivers an almost perfect blend of suspense, mystery and horror. Dekker’s prose is strong, putting him in a league above many other evangelical Christian writers and showing improvement over his previous work. Aside from following certain Christian fiction guidelines such as making his gorgeous 20 something characters entirely virginal, Dekker eschews most of the conventions of evangelical fiction. His spiritual message is subtle and devoid of the theologically and politically conservative agenda present in other novels.

He will be the killer’s first Adam. After sixteen hopeless months, the case takes a drastic turn on a very dark night when Daniel is shot and left for dead. Resuscitated after twenty minutes of clinical death, Daniel finds himself haunted by the experience.

And Daniel’s obsession explodes into a battle for his life…
his sanity…
his very soul. Enter a world of death and near death that blurs the lines between fiction and reality in a way that will leave you stunned.’The detail is stunning, pointing to meticulous research in FBI methods, forensic medicine, and psychological profiling. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is fiction. At the same time, we can’t help thinking that not only could it happen, but that it will happen if we’re not careful.’David M. Kiely and Christina McKenna, authors of The Dark Sacrament

The Promise

We know and love the Christmas story light comes to dispel dark, purity comes to stomp corruption. It’s beautiful. It’s perfect proof of an eternal truth and light…
. This is not the usual story. This is the tale of a mute boy who is born and abandoned in the shadows of life. He carries with him two things his dead mother’s shawl and her promise that someday he will find a king who will give him a voice. Like Reuben in The Promise, may you sing of Light, even when no one else can hear.

The Drummer Boy

A Christmas tale with a modern twist.

We all love singing the Christmas carol ‘The Little Drummer Boy.’ Our hearts swell as the poor boy offers his best, meager gift to the Baby in the manger, and we smile in joy as the infant Lord graciously smiles His thanks. Now Ted Dekker brings a modern twist to this beloved song of hope, acceptance, and joy. This modern fable takes place in a large city where Christmas has been banned and replaced by a holiday that celebrates prosperity. All Christmas songs are also banned.

The Slumber of Christianity

As believers, our walk with God is motivated by hope not the bland, vague notion most people have, but the expectation of an exotic, pleasurable inheritance that guides us and fires our passion…
or, at least, should. Ted Dekker has written an expose on the death of pleasure within the Church. Because many of us have set aside hope and the inspired imagination that drives it, Dekker says we have been lulled into a slumber of boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, the joy at having been liberated fades, and we feel powerless. The Slumber of Christianity explores what robs us of happiness and how we can rediscover it and live lives that rekindle hope. The pursuit of pleasure is a gift to all humans a function of the Creator himself, who is bent upon our happiness. It’s time for Christians to reclaim our inheritance of pleasure. The Slumber of Christianity will inflame hearts toward full fledged, mind expanding encounters with hope, through the imagination.

Tea with Hezbollah (With: )

Is it really possible to love one’s enemies? That s the question that sparked a fascinating and, at times, terrifying journey into the heart of the Middle East during the summer of 2008. It was a trip that began in Egypt, passed beneath the steel and glass high rises of Saudi Arabia, then wound through the bullet pocked alleyways of Beirut and dusty streets of Damascus, before ending at the cradle of the world s three major religions: Jerusalem. Tea with Hezbollah combines nail biting narrative with the texture of rich historical background, as readers join novelist Ted Dekker and his co author and Middle East expert, Carl Medearis, on a hair raising journey. They are with them in every rocky cab ride, late night border crossing, and back room conversation as they sit down one on one with some of the most notorious leaders of the Arab world. These candid discussions with leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas, with muftis, sheikhs, and ayatollahs, with Osama bin Laden s brothers, reveal these men to be real people with emotions, fears, and hopes of their own. Along the way, Dekker and Medearis discover surprising answers and even more surprising questions that they could not have anticipated questions that lead straight to the heart of Middle Eastern conflict. Through powerful narrative Tea With Hezbollah will draw the West into a completely fresh understanding of those we call our enemies and the teaching that dares us to love them. A must read for all who see the looming threat rising in the Middle East.
