Author Profile

Born in South Africa in 1943, Christopher Shennan really began to live on the 29th of August 1967, when he was born again through the power of Jesus Christ. Since then, only one passion has consumed him; to communicate the love of Christ through any and every means at his disposal.

While attending Wesleyan Evangelical Seminary he was launched into a children’s Ministry, which led to his founding a ministry called Children for Christ, which in turn led to the formation of Children’s Radio Ministries.

He married Pamela Sanders in 1976, which was when he wrote his first book, The Toymaker’s Dream, published by Christian Literature Crusade in 1980, leading to its translation and publication into French, Hungarian, and Polish, and in a stage musical production in the Check Republic.

Christopher and his family served as missionaries in Zimbabwe where he established a church amongst the Shona tribe before moving to Canada in 1984. Personal Evangelism has been his passion and he has taught the subject numerous times to great effect. This led to the writing of a soon to be published manual, The Making of a Personal Evangelist. Since his so-called “retirement” in 2008, his involvement in Bible teaching, counselling, even pastoring a church in Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, has kept him busy.

With thirteen published books behind him, his passion is to pass an all God has taught him to the next generation. Five new novels and numerous non-fiction projects he expects to take him the rest of his life.
