Bruce Hennigan

Bruce Hennigan grew up in the deep pine forests of northwest Louisiana. There wasn’t much to do in the country for a young boy with an active imagination and acres of pastures and woods unless imagination opened the door to another reality. Bruce spent his childhood chasing dinosaurs, giant robots, aliens from Alpha Centauri, and an occasional cow through this vast land of imagination.

In the eighth grade, he saved up his meager allowance and bought a teal blue portable typewriter and began to write his own stories. He was doomed; captured; enslaved by Story! Bruce wanted to write for the rest of his life.

But, God intervened. He called Bruce to another profession in the medical field to become the very last thing in the world he wanted to be, a doctor. He continued to write through college and medical school and found success in, of all places, the theater. For 15 years, Bruce was the drama director at a local church and wrote over 150 plays. Challenged by questions from fellow scientists regarding his faith, Bruce explored the field of Christian apologetics, the defense of the truthfulness of the Christian faith. He became a Volunteer Apologist with Reasons to Believe and a Certified Apologetic Instructor with the North American Mission Board.

After suffering through a severe depression, Bruce co-authored “Conquering Depression: A Thirty Day Plan to Finding Happiness” with Mark Sutton published by Broadman & Holman Publishing in 2001. After the success of that book, he fulfilled his life long dream of writing fiction with the release of "The Chronicles of Jonathan Steel" with a prequel, "Death by Darwin" followed by with books: “The 13th Demon: Altar of the Spiral Eye”, “The 12th Demon: Mark of the Wolf Dragon”, “The 11th Demon: The Ark of Chaos”, “The 10th Demon: Children of the Bloodstone”, "The 9th Demon: Time of the Cross", "The 8th Demon: A Wicked Numinosity", "The 7th Demon: The Pandora Stone (Part 1 of "The Unholy Triad"), and "The 5th Demon: Demoneyes (Part 2 of "The Unholy Triad".

In 2019, Bruce and Mark Sutton updated their depression book with their third book: “Hope Again: A Lifetime Plan for Conquering Depression”. Mark and Bruce have produced a short seminar, “Conquering Depression Seminar” to accompany the book. For more information go to www.conqueringdepression.com.

Bruce has published two more books not in the supernatural fiction genre: "The Homecoming Tree" based on the life of his parents at the beginning of World War II. And, "Our Darkness, His Light: Ordinary People in the Extraordinary Story of Christ".

In April, 2022, Bruce published, "Shadow Merchant", a novel that takes place in the high tech world of radiology and modern medicine.

He has two grown children and lives in Shreveport with his wife, Sherry. Bruce continues to speak on the topics of apologetics, creative writing, depression, and drama.
