I just discovered Ted Dekker and am in love with his books. I am a busy mother of six and have little time to read. With Dekker’s books I get hooked from the first line to the last and finish them in two nights. Our local library does not carry many of Dekker’s book. I would love nothing more than to win many more nights of good reading.

I have only read through half the first book, and I would love to read the complete set. I know I’m late for the contest, but I read as many of your books as possible, and I haven’t found one that I don’t LOVE!

I love all of Ted Dekkers books. I have shared alot of his books with my sunday school class. He has made his books easy to have a good book discussion in class. I have even shared how Teds books has reflected on my life. His circle series has helped me to open my eyes on how i Look at Christ and how I should learn to believe in him and be more like him. for example on loving the Horde, The Horde are sinners and sometimetimes i find it hard to love them as i should especially when they do bad things to me or my family.

I would love these books! I am a huge Ted Dekker fan and have not read green yet, but the last three books are awesome and i could read them again and again!

I work with some people who are fantasy junkies (and non-Christians), so I introduced them to the Circle trilogy and they loved it. I explained to them how it is the "main story" (as I like to call it) of the Bible retold. Ted's books are opening ministry and evangelical doors for me all the time, and I love it. It makes it so easy to share the message of the Gospel.

I would like very much to get a boxed set of all of the books. I have listened to RED and White and am waiting to get Black from the library. I drive a small box truck about 240 miles overnight 5 days a week and love to listen to books on CD. I can't afford to buy them myself, so it would be great to have them on hand to read again or to loan out to other people to read.

Hi! Well, honestly this is not one of the genres I typically read, but my soldiers (airmen, sailors, and Marines!) seem to request ATed's books quite often. Y'see, I ship "Care Packages For the Mind" through a volunteer website entitled Booksforsoldiers.com. I've been a member for over two years, and it looks like we will be continuing as Afghanistan continues to heat up. These, many young, troop members don't have a Barnes & Noble, or the internet access to order themselves something to read from Amazon…so we volunteers try to help them out. This series, if I am lucky enough to get one, will be directed to one of the many outpost libraries that are cropping up for our troops all over the Middle East. Thanks!

I would LOVE to win a box set of the circle trilogy. I admit I was sceptic when I first heard of "Christian Fiction" until our youth pastor gave me a copy of Black, have read all except for the new Green book, and it would give me something to read, am going in for foot surgery at end of month, dont want to be a TV zombie.

Strange how one ends up on a website. I got here by way of Buzzplant. Saw a reference to Ted Dekker and ended up here.

Ted wouldn’t know me from the man in the moon, nor I him. He was just a kid back in Irian Jaya when I was a pilot with Wycliffe in Papua New Guinea. But if my aging memory serves me correctly, the Dekker kids went to school at Ukarumpa and I’m sure I flew them at one point in time.

Anyway, what caught my eye was the name Thomas Hunter in “Green”. My thoughts drifted to high school and I thought I’d send “Green” to my classmate, Tom Hunter, who I believe still lives in my home town in Ohio. I don’t think he knows Jesus, and maybe he’d find him in “Green”.

Based on timing, I’d guess you gave all the free sets away. But….one never knows.

Thanks to Ted for weaving in the Good News in such an unusual way. Oh, and I’m pretty sure I’ve bumped into you, Michael, decades ago when I was working with Dan Harrison at Wycliffe.

I love Ted dekker books and i have almost the whole series except these. I've read bonemans daughters, blink, three, skin, showdown, saint, sinner, blessed child, adam, black, and the lost books. I would really enjoy this set for my enjoyance and collection.

I would like to have the box set simply because I have read the first three books and thay have started me on a journey to discover what ecaxtly it would mean for me to "Drown in the Lord" I want to be totaly submerged in the Lord. I would greatly appriciate the chance to continue in this journey, I know the word of God has to be my main source of spiritual food but This series has made some of God's truth's become more real to me than ever before.

Thanks

I have been a fan of Ted's works since just before Black came out. The Circle Series have been my favorite books since I read them. I do not have my own copy of the circle series and would love to be able to go back and enjoy the series that got me hooked on Ted.

I love to read! I had been reading V.C Andrews books but my mom was really trying to get me to read different books(Christian books). So we went to the Christian Book Store and i was looking around and everything looked boring when BAM! I saw it The Circle Trilogy! This was before Green came out so it was just Black, Red, and White. I read all three of them in three days! I couldn’t put them down! And then we went back to the CBS and BAM! THERE IS ANOTHER BOOK!!!!!!!!!! AND NOT JUST ANY BOOK!!!!!! BOOK ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I prayed to God that i would be able to get it but we didn’t have the money!!!! MAN!!!!! I was upset….but only a little bit…NNOOOTTT!! I was tremendously let down :(!!! And then i see this and now my hopes are all up again! These are the best books i have ever read in my life!!!! Thank you soooo much for righting them i know that you definetely have made a BIG difference in my life! You really helped me understand Gods love for me!!

I'm hooked! I purchased the T Dekker books for teens for my nephew to encourage him to read more and now I"m hooked! would love to receive a copy of Dekker's books to begin my own collection. I'm already a fan of Nicholas Sparks and Dee Henderson's books, and this seems to go even farther and deeper provoking thought and discussions at work. Thanks for encouraging him and us!

Hi Mr. Dekker,

I love your work. My teenage son is in a residential treatment facility. Unfortunately, it is not a Christian one as those cost too much money. He is allowed to have 6 books at a time. He gets plenty of ungodly counsel, and I thought that this would make a great gift for him to read in his free time. His name is Trevor and he is at a place called Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO. I want God back in his life at any given opportunity. Thank you for your work and outstanding writing! God Bless.

I would LOVE to win the boxed set for my collection of DEKKER books. I have all of the Circle Series but the boxed set would only add to it! I lend my books to my friends who are unable to buy the books, or get them from a library! The boxed set would allow me to lend the books to two people at a time rather than just one. :) Love the books!

I love this series! Actually, I'm infatuated with all of Ted Dekker's works- Blink, Thr3e, etc. I would really love to get a free boxed set- all my books at the moment are loaned out to friends!

I appreciate the honesty of Ted Dekker's writing, without playing to the media or falling prey to fads, he continues to inspire and entertain, but just as important he poses questions that stay with you long after you finish the book. In our daily lives, the forces of good & evil are not black & white, things are not always so cut & dried and he conveys moral, ethical & spiritual themes with a soft, yet powerful voice that demands to be read. I would LOVE to have the opportunity to call this set my own – it would be incredible!

Before I say anything else; I think you should definitely give serious consideration to giving a set to 'sehorne', a few comments before me.

I have been an avid Ted Dekker fan for a few years now, ever since a friend gave me 7 of his books. I read all of them before I read any of the others in the two boxes she gave me! His writing is amazing. I am right there in the story with his characters, fighting their battles against evil and their own human natures. And everywhere there is Christian symbolism. I love it! All that and usually thrillers, too!

I am, however, frustrated beyond belief! Far from my dotage, I am 61, I have been in a long term care facility for 5 years due to health (no, not mental, LOL) problems. The government in it's infinite wisdom provides us with $30/mo that we are free to do with as we please. I know, I shouldn't gripe, I am well taken care of.

The frustration? I have been trying for two years to obtain a copy of Black, let alone all three of the original books! Our library service has been unable to find it and I haven't been able to find anything online that I could afford. Books in general comprise most of my world and his are some of the very best. I would love to have these to read, cherish and loan out to as many people here as would like to read them: and that would be quite a few.

Thanks for your consideration, don't forget 'sehorne' and no, I don't know that person, just read the comment.

Cheryl

PS: 300 books in 30 minutes, I AM impressed!

I have been a fan of Ted Dekker for about 3 years, but within that time frame I have read everyone of his books, except one. I love his writing ability. When Green was coming out, I mentioned this to a few of my friends. One of my friends was so excited that she could download Black on her computer to begin reading the Circle series. However, she couldn’t open the download due to computer problems. Whenever she tried adjusting the problem by removing a program then placing the program back into the computer, it would get to about 95% done, and then say it couldn’t be done. Needless to say she was quite disappointed, so I would love to win the Circle books for her.

I have read a few of Ted's books. I would love to receive a copy of the Circle books. I just love the creative way Ted uses words to convey feeling and thought through out his entire books. I have been checking them out at my local library, but they are hard to find when other people have them checked out and you just can't wait to read more to get that self full filling desire to want more.

I would like to receive this box set because I have been reading Ted Dekker since the day Black Came out. I let a friend borrow my red, black, and white and he never returned them before he moved. So I no longer have my copies. The Circle books, along with the Lost Books have inspired me in my life – especially being able to see the symbolism in the books. To be able to relate to the whole circle series – it is truly a passion and a joy in my life!

When I first read Mr. Dekker's books (I started with Thr3e, Obsessed, and Showdown), I read for the sake of reading Christian fiction. Some of his analogies I "got;" a lot I didn't. Then I found the Song of the Martyr's series… It spoke volumes to my heart and mind. As did other of Mr. Dekker's books, all of which I have borrowed from our public library.

I had checked Mr. Dekker's website and was initially turned off to the Circle trilogy because it seemed like people were following the Circle rather than God… However, as we needed more audio books for a trip we were taking, we borrowed the Black, Red, and White… and were amazed!

I learn best by story, and Mr. Dekker has used his gift to give a graphic allegory of God and the Great Romance. Now having understood Mr. Dekker's writing style and story telling, I am quick to recommend them. I would love to own the books so that I may more easily share them.

I love Ted Dekker books and have yet to read them all. But I know if they can impact my life then maybe they could impact one of my friends who aren't Christian. If given the opputunity for this then maybe I could spread the books around.

I have been a great fan of Ted Dekker’s work throughout his career. I have been a fan of his for years since before the Circle series came out. His non-fiction is excellent as well. This circle series is an excellent set to introduce a friend or loved one to some excellent reading while making them think about the underlying spiritual themes and ideas that Ted Dekker presents in his books. Once I have read them, I give them to my parents to since they are into his books as well. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to read them.

I would love to have the box set so that I can continue torture my friends (and perfect strangers even) by slowly introducing them to a book at a time and holding out the next book for days on end. To date I have started a good dozen on a Dekker "addiction." My wife is right now reading out loud to our kids "Torches of Joy." About a week into the book they realized that you are in the story. If feels like almost everything in our house is coming "full circle."

I WANT TO WIN THE BOXED SET! Honestly, after reading the books I thought,"What an insanely unique way of sharing the gospel." The story stayed with me for some time after closing the back cover and I love that I am a 24 year old married woman, planning to start a family soon and I want these books to pass down to my children. I can already envision reading them this series before bedtime, as a way to share the gospel with them. Who knows, this could be a way to open up my future children's eyes to the miracle of Jesus Christ and what He did for us!
Dekker is "the man" of story telling!

I am the librarian of a K-12 Christian school. Ted Dekker's books are VERY popular, and we really need multiple copies of his titles! Unfortunately, in today's economy, donations are down. Since we are a private school, we don't receive state funding. Even though we raise money through various fund raisers for library materials, that money is often spent on books for the younger grades, since they participate in the Accelerated Reader program (they simply "go through" more titles, thus more age-appropriate books are needed). I often feel that I am neglecting the older students due to financial constraints. Having an additional copy of Dekker's Circle Series would definitely be a blessing! You can be assured that the books will be devoured by numerous students!

The Circle Trilogy is one of the most amazing fiction pieces I have ever come across-whether in Christian or secular fiction. I am part of a literal army of Ted Dekker fans in this side of the globe (I’m Nigerian), and he is one of the most widely read Christian writers in this country. (I just finished giving a review of Saint to a friend by email).

I’m sure Green will be a total mind-blowing and on-the-edge-of-your-seat book. I can’t wait to have this book. There’s no doubt that the classic Dekker elements of describing our faith in a new way (sometimes unapologetically and so in-your-face) will not be missing from this book.

God bless you Ted.

. if the "give-away" is still active then the reason I feel I would benefit from winning the box set is because, well obviously Im a felon, no I didnt kill,rape,or steal. Unfortunately I used drugs. Long story short, Im 2 years clean and started a new job last monday. But I had struggled finding employment for the last year because of my record. Even though I did my time your sentence is never really fully served, ya know? So because Ive been off so long Im way behind in child support. So I wont have any extra money anytime soon to purchase any of the series books.

I absolutely love Ted Dekker! I've read Black, Red, White, Showdown, Saint, Sinner, Skin, Chosen, Infidel, Renegade, Chaos, Blink, and Thr3e. I just remembered that Lunatic and Elyon are out – I need to go read those!
He is an amazing writer. I don't get how he comes up with such convoluted plots that make sense! I also love his cyclical stories, and how he's stretched his Circle "universe," as you called it over more than 10 books. I also appreciate his fresh take on a Christian allegorical fantasy that spans over two worlds.
The Circle Trilogy (well, series) is definitely my favorite, and (unless Green wins out) Red is my favorite. I think it's interesting how the second book of a trilogy (it was a trilogy for a while…) is my favorite. Most of the time, the middle book of a trilogy is the "worst." The 2nd book of a trilogy suffers from not having the light happy side of the beginning or the end's victorious, celebratory side, leaving it in "darkness." Red is different, and I like that.
When I read it the second time, I realized that the first time, I was on the side of everyone against the Jesus figure. I felt awful! I don't want to be against Jesus! The thing is I'm sinful and judgmental, and my "voice called out among the scoffers." It taught me a valuable lesson.
I believe I squealed when I first read that Green "starts where White ends and ends where Black starts." I could see how that was possible given his story, and I think all my questions will get answered (except that Dekker's bound to leave some questions, cause he's just awesome like that). I am so excited about this book! Problem is, I'm a broke college student. I would love to get this set!

I would like the set because I just read about the new book in "Christian Video Magazine" September 2009 and I am extremely curious and really want to read "Green". And once I start I will want to continue through the set. But I can certainly try to rent them from the library because I will read them. I love science fiction & fantasy but find so few honorable reads. So from what I've read so far, Ted Dekker sounds like an inspired author and The Circle Series sounds like a wonderful "time out"!

I was introduced to Dekker thru the book House that was written with Frank Perretti. I was immediately drawn into his writing. Within a week, I read Black, Red and White. Green was read within 3 days. My 11 year old has read ALL of The Lost Books 1-6 AND Black, Red, White and Green. The good Lord has truly blessed Ted Dekker with his writing.

With a family of five, all the books were borrowed from the library because there are no extra funds to purchase the books to expand our home library. The boxed set would be a great addition to our library so that when my 8 year old and 5 year old are ready to read TRUE Christian fiction Dekker would be readily available for them.

i have read and been consumed by the circle and its far reaching roots since i first read black 2 years ago. I have read the paradise novels which of course link via the books of history and the first 4 lost books as well as the brief mention in skin . . . . i am desperate to own them all so i hope both my desperation and simplicity of this entry win me the boxed set

I have never read any of your books or even heard of you. BUT, this past weekend I was with a Ministry that works with Young Men (ages 16-21) in a Youth Correctional Institute and during a discussion on reading material, 3 of the young men at my table (out of 5) have read your books and highly recommended you. As I am a avid reader and was telling them I love trilogy series, I promised them I would look you up and try to get some of the books so that when I return on the last Saturday's of the month we could discuss the books with them. Well, I would love to not only tell them that not only had I got one book but all 15 just because they recommended I read them. They could not stop talking about what a great series the Black, Red, White, etc. books are to read.

Gosh, its awesome when one day you can wake up and find out there is such an awesome author in the scenes that you haven't heard of before. A friend of mine mentioned Ted Dekker's new book to me, and shared with me a little about Ted Dekker. Out of curiosity of his new book, "Green"; I downloaded an audio version of the book. After listening to his book on audio in between my trips from Waxahachie and Dallas Texas; I fell in love with it. I went out and bought the book. Now, not only can I listen to it, I can read it. I am not ready for a new book now to read because I am not done with green as of yet. But it would be great if I could get the set and share the book I have with someone else so they can have the privilege of reading a great book. Upon studying some of the story lines of Ted Dekker's other books, I have discovered he works in the same realm as his other books. Each book adds on to itself. Its awesome. Ted Dekker is awesome. I cant believe I have gone this long without even knowing he existed. And to think he has such a great series of books…

Ted Dekker is the first author (since C.S. Lewis in his Space Trilogies) to describe heaven in an inviting way that leaves me thinking – yes that's how it must be! I loved Black because of the imagry and the invitation to dive deep! How exciting to follow Jesus on a journey of incredible risks and rewards that far exceed our hopes and dreams. Dekker has taken me on that journey in his trilogy. I'm excited and nervous about reading Green. Excited because a new adventure awaits that will take me someplace I've never imagined. Nervous because the journey will come to an end and I don't want it to. Whatever path God has chosen for me, He has made it richer by leading me to the things he has written through Ted Dekker. Proud member of the circle!

I had a copy of the trilogy but i gave it to a friend because the series is so amazing and blessed me so much. Now that green is out i really really want toi read green and re-read the black red and white. I would be so blessed if you picked me to recieve the free series. Thank you so much for considering me.
Blessings to you!!

I just finished Green tonight. I have been so captivated by the book that I couldn’t put it down. My husband told me I have become boring since I started reading but he doesn’t understand how much you become a part of this book. I was constantly thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it. It also makes me think more about my own Christianity and my relationship with God. I wish I could literally jump into Elyon’s water, don’t we all? My grandkids got me into the books. I have read the entire Circle now, the 4 lost books and have got my library to order the next 2 so that I can read them. I have read Showdown, Martyrs Song, Thunder of Heaven and his non fiction book as well. I would love to have the set to share these books with others. I can right now think of a girl who is struggling with her walk with Christ but who loves to read. I know if I could get her “hooked” on these books that maybe God could grab her again through these books. Also my son is in LA. He has a degree in film and he is a stunt man. I want to get him excited and lets make movies out of all of these.
Hey I just wanted to say too that I am a firm believer in Nephilium and that my greatest fear is of vampires because i just know that they are real and that they truly are evil incarnate. But hey praise God (Elyon) which is Greek for God, that He is all powerful and that we are truly looking for that great day when we are in Heaven with Him.

well i have read almost all of teds books and haven’t gotten a chance to read the circle tilogy yet! it is blowing my mind that i haven’t been able to read the circle tilogy so i’m like dying to read green but don’t have the money to buy it yet and also i haave always wanted to go to the gathering but again i don’t have the money to go. so this might be my only chance of getting the circle trilogy. so if I do get the trilogy I would be the most excited and happiest person in the world.

I have read most of Teds books, including my last one, "Boneman's Daughters." What a great read! I really enjoyed the circle series including Black, White and Red. The problem is it has been so long ago that I'm not remembering much of the plots. I have since given the books to my friends and they have read them and passed them along. I keep looking for any new books on the market by Ted, but have been having little luck. For the money I have spent supporting Ted, I really would enjoy getting a copy of the books in the circle, plus a copy of Green as well. Thanks for the consideration, Lon Sander, a loyal fan.

Hey Mike-

This is my first time to hear of Ted Dekker. I've been searching for new authors and books for the past month – trying to expand beyond the small bubble I've been in and in return generate some new conversation with friends and family. From what I've read thus far, this book series would be perfect for that. I'm signing up to blog about it as well. Bring it on!

Thanks!

Hello, my name is Betty, I am a Ted Dekker junkie. When I read Dekker books the world as we know it ceases to exist. I enter a euphoric reality in which I cannot separate myself from the characters. I have been known to stay up all night in order to finish a book and then go into fits of anxiety until I can get my hands on the next book. Please, help me! I NEED A DEKKER FIX!
