Ada, Mich. (January 13, 2017)—Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, is pleased to announce that they have signed a multi-book contract with award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker.
Ted Dekker
Dekker is the author of more than forty novels, with over 10 million copies sold worldwide. Born in the jungles of Indonesia to missionary parents, he lived amongst cannibals who killed the parents of several of his friends. Dekker was sent to a coastal school at the young age of six, living apart from him parents for months at a time. His upbringing as a stranger in a fascinating and sometimes frightening culture fueled his imagination, and it was during the lonely times as a child that he became a storyteller.

His fiction has been honored with numerous awards, including two Christy Awards, two Inspy Awards, an RT Reviewers Choice Award, and an ECPA Gold Medallion.
