Book Synopsis Humanist Heroes by : Rev. Douglas Kenneth Peary
Download or read book Humanist Heroes written by Rev. Douglas Kenneth Peary and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2004-04-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the 17 chapters of this book is an introduction to the life and beliefs of a great scientist, philosopher, poet or thinker who rejects faith in theistic concepts of religion developed by primitive people. They run from Voltaire, Thomas Paine and Robert Ingersoll, to Walt Whitman, Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan. These thinkers expound on their views of the natural world and on what we can hope and believe based on the scientific method and discoveries. They fill us with overwhelming sense of wonder and awe by what they teach about how to view our wonderful world. They teach us to thrill to evolving life and to be at peace with ourselves despite the limits of our lives. Past President of the Humanist Association of Central Connecticut, Dr. David Schafer, said, "For several years, among the talks most consistently popular with our members have been those in Doug Peary?s long running series, ?Humanist Heroes.? One reason seems to be the emotional intensity Doug brings to his research on each of his subjects, an intensity that continues to reward him, and us, deeply with each of his subjects with each new biography he touches. These are not just interesting stories from and about the lives of Humanists--they are intimate glimpses of more meaningful insights into living, working, loving, and dying, profoundly inspirational for Doug and his audiences."

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. David Schafer, retired Yale professor, scientist, and co-founder and past president of the Humanist Association of Connecticut, said, "For several years, among the talks most consistently popular with our members have been those in Doug Peary's long-running series, "Humanist Heroes." We've talked to a number of people about the reason for this. One reason seems to be the emotional intensity Doug brings to his research on each of his subjects, an intensity that continues to reward him, and us, deeply with each of his subjects with each new biography he touches. These are not just interesting stories from and about the lives of Humanists; they are intimate glimpses of more meaningful insights into living, working, loving, and dying, profoundly inspirational for Doug and his audiences." Rev. Ann Fuller, in September 2011, in her church newsletter, recommended "Humanist Heroes" to her congregation. I thanked her. She responded "My pleasure. I also included it in the required reading for my class at the Humanist Institute for our opening session on Essential Humanism this past December. They really enjoyed the personal stories and thought it was a nice break from the drier philosophical works they had to read. Gave Humanism the human touch" Another Minister who does not want her name used said, "Douglas Peary in his book "Humanist Heroes" has written brief biographies of the lives of seventeen men, ranging from Voltaire and Thomas Paine in the eighteenth century to Steve Allen and Carl Sagan in the twentieth. His subjects include writers and poets, scientists and philosophers, ministers and lawyers, even a television personality! A wonderful aspect of the book is that Peary includes extended pieces of each person's own writings so the reader can get a better feel for each person. There isn't a way to summarize a book as rich in research and story and detail as Peary's. What I can do is suggest in a couple of ways how Peary's stories help bring religious humanism to life. There are many in our culture who assume that there can be no ethics without belief in a God- no foundation for acting morally without a supreme being, and/or no incentive to be moral without the promise of divine reward or punishment."

This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of books starts with a bio of, "The Father of Modern Humanism, John Hassler Dietrich," a few of his writings. The other Volumes are his writings. He wrote 2000 speeches but the church only published a few. We found about 450. All of them in unreadable formats. I have been a year working on the first 150 and now the last 200. I am the first in over 8o years to read these and I know why thousands came to hear Dietrich. I came to similar values and beliefs before I discovered Dietrich. His thoughts are real and alive as when he wrote them. My friend Ben has read them and said, "No matter where I put my finger it opens to a gem. Dietrich and I both wrote speeches rather than books so they read like speeches rather than books and without the proper punctuation for books. I am no English major but I wanted to publish for preservation. Dr. David Schafer, retired Yale professor, scientist, co-founder and past president of the Humanist Assoc. of Ct, said, "For several years, among the talks most consistently popular with our members have been those in Doug Peary's long-running series, "Humanist Heroes."

Another UU minister, who wishes to remain anonymous, said, "Douglas Peary in his book Humanist Heroes has written brief biographies of the lives of men (and Women), ranging from Voltaire and Thomas Paine in the eighteenth century to Margaret Knight, Steve Allen and Carl Sagan in the twentieth. His subjects include writers and poets, scientists and philosophers, ministers, Psychiatrists, and lawyers, even a television personality!

In 2015, Editor Rev. Douglas Kenneth Peary, republished all of his Humanist Heroes presentations in a three volume set entitled, "Humanist Heroes Through the Centuries, 1600's to the Present, from Spinoza to Hawking, including Ingersoll and Dietrich." Humanist Heroes has been quoted on the Internet from countries and continents around the world.
