Books by H G Hastings-Duffield

The text in Significant Secular and Sacred Matters in America contains nineteen commentaries, nine on secular matters and ten on sacred matters.The secular materials focus on various matters in American society, including the reprehensible treatment of war veterans, racism by celebrities, Congress'' usurpation of citizens'' rights, and other issues. The sacred matters focus on religious privilege, the terrorism inherent in Christianity, the enigmatic genesis of Jesus, the evil of Yahweh, and more. An American citizen, military veteran, and secular humanist (which benighted people confuse with "atheist") wrote all the commentaries. His intent was to edify fellow citizens, who perhaps never thought of matters the way the author does, due to social indoctrination, indifference, and willful ignorance.After teaching for thirty-five years at three universities in Michigan, H. G. Hastings-Duffield retired in 1997 and now lives in Atlanta.Publisher''s website: http://sbprabooks.com/hghastingsduffield

Biblical Events Told Truthfully and with Compelling Critical Commentary - Not the Shammed Trash of the Testaments discusses the difference between fact and fiction in the Bible, between truth and fabrication.The heart of this controversial yet incisive book explores the absurd discrepancies between reality and the Testaments of the Bible.The author was inspired to write this book by "the plethora of willfully ignorant Christians who merely read the Bible but do no thinking about it. They go from word to word without questioning anything. Their reasoning, or lack of it, is that whatever is in the Bible is true because whatever in the Bible is true: the logic of an imbecile. For example, they never ask who is narrating Genesis or what 'beginning' is referenced." Born in a coal mining town in West Virginia, H. G. Hastings-Duffield is a retired professor emeritus at Central Michigan University. He spent thirty of his thirty-five-year teaching career at three universities in Michigan. The author retired in 1997 and now lives in Atlanta. This is his twenty-second book. Publisher's website: http://sbprabooks.com/HGHastingsDuffield

Once upon a time, Delaney Walker's life was filled with warmth and love and family and friends, expectations and desires and happiness. Then a disastrous lifelessness set in. Living became painful to him, too painful to endure until the end of time.Delaney, retired after teaching for over thirty years at university level, had become filled with despair and was trying to understand why. On the morning of February 25, 2004, Delaney was afflicted with enough serious mental derangement to warrant a psychiatrist's enrolling him into what Delaney facetiously came to call "The Depressing Society of the Deeply Depressed." Unlike many societies, this one has no proud members. It is a very large community containing millions of associates and is quite exclusive, because nobody - absolutely nobody - gets in without proper credentials. H. G. Hastings-Duffield grew up in West Virginia, moved to Michigan during the early years of World War II, and now lives near Atlanta. He says, "Had I remained in West Virginia, I likely would be dead from black lung disease. The move afforded me the opportunities to earn two universities degrees, teach thirty-five years at three universities, and write for the edification of fellow citizens." This is his seventeenth book. Publisher's website: http://sbprabooks.com/hghastingsduffield
