Thomas Nelson (November 11, 2008)
Ted is the son of missionaries John and Helen Dekker, whose incredible story of life among headhunters in Indonesia has been told in several books. Surrounded by the vivid colors of the jungle and a myriad of cultures, each steeped in their own interpretation of life and faith, Dekker received a first-class education on human nature and behavior. This, he believes, is the foundation of his writing.
After graduating from a multi-cultural high school, he took up permanent residence in the United States to study Religion and Philosophy. After earning his Bachelor's Degree, Dekker entered the corporate world in management for a large healthcare company in California. Dekker was quickly recognized as a talent in the field of marketing and was soon promoted to Director of Marketing. This experience gave him a background which enabled him to eventually form his own company and steadily climb the corporate ladder.
Since 1997, Dekker has written full-time. He states that each time he writes, he finds his understanding of life and love just a little clearer and his expression of that understanding a little more vivid. To see a complete list of Dekker's work, visit The Works section of TedDekker.com.
Here are some of his latest titles:
Chosen (The Lost Books, Book 1) (The Books of History Chronicles)
Adam
Black: The Birth of Evil (The Circle Trilogy Graphic Novels, Book 1)

MY REVIEW:
Infidel is the second in The Lost Book series, and the first of the graphic novels that I have had the pleasure of looking into. I’ve always been the type that reads the book before I “watch” the movie, so I took the hardcover version of the story and set it alongside this one to make a comparison. It was so cool! I was amazed at how accurately the novel was portrayed in the graphic version! More surprising to me was that once I began reading, the graphic novel pulled me in just as much as the traditional story!
It has been a while since I enjoyed the Red, Black and White trilogy by Ted Dekker, but I think this Lost Book series can be enjoyed much more completely if you read the other trilogy first. I can’t help but be astounded that I am so drawn in by this entire fantasy world of the Roush, Shataiki, Horde and Thomas the Hunter! It is just a fabulous adventure! I look forward to enjoying the rest of the series!
