Dave Slade has served in many roles the last forty years. They include newspaper reporter, teacher, real estate agent, entrepreneur, contractor, and now author. But the most satisfying has been the latter. He found an outlet for this in his first job as a reporter. But like many writers he felt a need for a larger canvas.

That dream materialized in 2012 with the publication of The Christ Virus, Dave’s first novel. Dark Star Rising is the stand-alone sequel.

In addition to writing, Dave teaches a Bible study for men at Calvary Church in Albuquerque. He is a graduate of San Jose State University with a degree in Journalism and the School of Ministry at Calvary Church.

He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Holly and their aussiedoodl

When Truth is Stranger than Fiction

Lately, a book I wrote four years ago called The Christ Virus is beginning to look more and more prophetic. Yesterday, the City of Houston issued subpoenas to a group of pastors demanding they turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city's first openly lesbian mayor. Those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court. Fox News repo Read more of this blog post »

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

Orson F. Whitney
“No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.”
Orson F. Whitney

Nikos Kazantzakis
“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their
own.”
Nikos Kazantzakis

Jacques Barzun
“Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.”

Ronald P.chavez ONCE UPON A ROAD
The Route 66 Storyteller

Whatever happened to the barefoot shoeshine boy on old route 66? He rose through the ranks to become the owner of the iconic Club Café in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, where he rode the wave of the nostalgic Mother Road that became the rage of the age. He is Ron Chávez, writer of fiction and poetry set on this dramatic corridor. Today, a talented film maker and a group of committed volunteers wish to create a documentary about the Route 66 Storyteller, Ron Chávez.

The purpose of this feature-length documentary is to preserve the stories of a man who has lived to tell and immortalize his true-life experiences on this old byway, since 1942.

We seek funding for this special project to commemorate for all time the color and pageantry that enchanted America's road warriors for six decades, since 1926.

Check Kickstarter under the title Route 66 Storyteller for pledge support starting March 15, 2012. Up dates www.timeoftriumph.net Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
