Dave Claassen

I'm a follower of Jesus Christ and seek to live my life to please Him and for His glory. I'm walking  this journey with my life's partner, Diann. We've been married since 1972 and have two grown children. Our daughter Julie and family live in Mexico where she is Director of Fishers of Men Mexico. Check the ministry out at fishersofmenmexico.org . Our son Dan and family live in the Tampa Florida area. Dan is a pastor and elder at The Grove Bible Chapel of Tampa. Check the church out at thegrovetampa.org .

I pastored the Mayfair-Plymouth Congregational Church of Toledo, Ohio, since 1975, retiring in my 40th year of ministry with the church in 2014. Now my wife and I divide our time between Florida and Mexico to be close to our children and grandchildren.

I have written several books, both fiction and non-fiction. Everything that I write I do so for the glory of God and the good of the reader. Check out a list of my books here.

I enjoy photography. Over five hundred of my photos are for sale at iStockphoto.com. I'm an amateur ventriloquist and occasionally entertain kids (and big kids too) with a conversation with my little buddy Ricky that usually has a moral and spiritual point to it. I also enjoy maintaining a decorative pond at both of our homes.
 
That's just a little bit about me. Thanks for visiting my web site. God bless you!
