Dr. Stan Heck

Christian Author

Dr. Heck is a Christian author and clinical psychologist. He grew up in a loving Christian family on a small farm in Kentucky where he learned to value corn and beans, tomatoes and carrots as God’s gifts to us. He cared for the dogs and cats as well as the cows and chickens. Being close to nature and the God of creation has always been important to him. As a young adult, he obtained a BA in Christian philosophy and studied Biblical theology at the graduate school level. After college, he began working with juvenile delinquents and their families to minister to God’s people. He learned the value of scientific research while obtaining his MSW at the University of Washington in Seattle. To expand his clinical skills Dr. Heck obtained a doctorate in professional psychology at Wright State University in Dayton.

In the last 10 years Dr. Heck has written training guides for mental health providers across the United States. These guides have been popular because they are filled with current research as well as helpful clinical vignettes from Dr. Heck’s years of practice.  They enable professionals to strengthen their knowledge skills to help more clients improve the quality of their lives. Now Dr. Heck has turned his focus to building up God’s people. He has written From the Big Bang to the Bible for Christians who accept the Big Bang and evolution as scientific givens, while also valuing the importance of God’s Word in the Bible.
