Frank Peretti

I hear a lot of, 'I'm a writer because of you.' It's not a bad feeling, but it sneaks up on you. You don't ask for it. ”

I'm just a slow writer. I'm picky and careful and fastidious. ”

The Lord God carries us throughout our lives just as a father carries his child. The Lord carried me, and He still is. He made you. He knows what you're good at. He knows what you can do and what you can become. Trust Him. Love Him. He'll always love you back. ”

We have a God who loves us. We are in the palm of his hand. He doesn't leave us, and He doesn't forsake us. ”

Illusion' is a story of God's love and our hunger to find him when we're separated from him. If I can paint a picture of two people still in love after 40 years, that's a pretty good message. ”

Just like all my novels, 'Illusion' is a good way to observe where Frank Peretti was in his life when he wrote it. ”

There are writers, and there are readers who want something more. They want to get at the grist of life. ”

When you are writing for the Christian culture, there is a whole gamut of expectations. ”

It's man's nature to abuse knowledge and power, be it in the realm of science, government, or Wall Street. Take God out of the picture, and you have real trouble. ”

There's nothing sacred about the book you've written. The Bible says there's safety in a multitude of counselors. The movie is the movie, and the book is the book. They're different critters, and each must stand on their own merits. ”
