Whose God? and Three Related Works

About the Book

Virtually everyone has been plagued at times with honest doubts about particular religious doctrines or dogmas.  Conversely, most of us have been reluctant at times to accept scientific discoveries that are apparently irrefutable; yet seem to undermine beliefs we have held sacred for years.  WHOSE GOD? and Three Related Works deals directly with the relationships between Nature, Science, and Beliefs.  The book is a relevant and rational approach to such dilemmas.  Writing in a helpful, non-offensive style, the Author has given us a common sense view of beliefs in the context of the natural universe. 

The first section, Whose God?, consists of twenty-one dialogues between a maturing son and his wise father about the major issues in society.  The essay, What God is in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America?, includes a refreshing, insightful approach to the current quagmire surrounding the language under God.  Child of Nature: the Natural Human Mind articulates the commonality of humankind, underlying all religions and philosophies; and is a proclamation of the necessity of universal humility and appreciation among all cultures.

The book concludes with an original Universal Expression of Thanksgiving that is written in language that can be offered by a person of any religious, scientific, or natural view of the universe; and is suitable for any public or private Thanksgiving event.
