Book Description
John Hassler Dietrich lived from 1878 to 1957. He started his ministry as an Orthodox Christian Minister, became a moderate Christian, Moderate christian Unitarian, Scientific Naturalist and then called his teachings Humanism. He became a Humanist Minister in about 1911 in the Unitarian Church of Spokane, Washington, and then at First Unitarian in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1916 to the 1940's. He said "The Supreme discovery of the ages is that the Universe is governed by Natural Law rather than by a Deity." and " The whole Orthodox christian church today spending its time in trying to propitiate a God who is not angry, to save souls that are not lost, that they may enter a heaven that does not exist, expending its energies along mistaken channels toward issues that are entirely Imaginary. also, "Those who find Humanism's notion of religion without God absurd, have not been able to sound the depths of its mystic meaning. Those who too easily stigmatize its devotion to reason and reality as cold and meaningless miss its profound call to life and purpose. Our sojourn here becomes a wonder-awakening romance, a pilgrimage through mysteries and marvels, and as we walk together, comforting each other, inspiring each other, helping each other, loving each other, our hearts burn within us." In 2016 the Minneapolis Unitarian Society is Celebrating 100 years as a Humanist Society. There have been many Humanists since that time but no one has laid out more Humanist values than Dietrich. He spoke to many thousands of people live, and on the radio, wrote over 1500 presentations, and copies were distributed across the World. He became Known as the Father of Religious Humanism. His writings reveal that he was a Secular Humanist Leader and so I, Rev. Douglas K. Peary, Editor, call him The Father of all Modern Humanism.

Book Description
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." 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." William R. Murry, past president of Meadville Lombard Theological School and Minister Emeritus of the River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Bethesda, MD. Murry is the author of "A Faith for All Seasons: Liberal Religion and the Crises of Life;" "Reason and Reverence: Religious Humanism for the 21'st Century," and "Becoming More Fully Human: Religious Humanism As A Way of Life. Murry said, "Mr. Peary, Thank you for your excellent book, Humanist Heroes. It is an important contribution to Humanism." -- 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 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! 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 man. 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- that there is no foundation for acting morally without a supreme being, and/or no incentive to be moral without the promise of divine reward or punishment." 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.

Book Description
This is the remarkable Story of the Life of John Hassler Dietrich, the Father of Modern Humanism. He grew up in a conservative religious household, went to college and studied Science and then went to Seminary where he met liberal Unitarians. He became a Conservative Minister but his views had become liberal and exciting, so attendance rose from under a hundred to over a thousand. He was removed as a Heretic. He became a Unitarian liberal Christian and the minister of a failing Church in Spokane, Washington where he increased attendance into the Thousands requiring services to be held in a large theatre. He was a Scholar who spent many hours researching issues and wrote speeches that were an hour in length. He spoke like an Evangelist but his speeches were about human issues and not about God, more like a Philosopher. He named his changing beliefs "Humanism," because his concerns were about humans. He moved to the more heavily populated area of Minneapolis, Minnesota in order to have a greater impact on people. Thousands attended his services so he had to speak at another Theater. He also began speaking on the Radio in the 1930's to reach more people. His messages were based upon a Scientific view of the World. After he retired in 1938 he continued to examine his beliefs. In his last years he wrote papers titled, "Thoughts on God," It appears to regret being so rational, and adds what he calls Natural Spirituality. It is not about spirits or Gods but about human Emotion, Wonder, and Awe, which is natural to all humans and not related to Gods. There have been over 8000 known Gods and most of the Religions based on Gods have failed because they were made up, by people, and have nothing to do with real Gods. All of the modern Religions and Gods are made up based on the older Gods. Christmas, Easter, and much more were copied from what was known as Pagan Religion. The Founding Fathers of the United States knew the history of Religions in power of governments, ruled by repressing other beliefs so they created freedom of Religion so that all people could have a voice in Government and keep it away from religions who all have different views of God and Gods ways. President Trump is now giving power to the most Conservative Christianity over all others. Dietrich opposed all of that kind of thinking. Humanists, Moslems, Jews, and other Religions like Christianity should not rule over others in a Democracy. The Minneapolis Unitarian Society is working on the second hundred years of Dietrich's teachings. I, Editor Douglas Peary, am proud to have had a huge role of making Dietrich's Speech's readable because they read and feel like listening to a great speaker. This is his wife's biography of him in 1942 with my added thoughts afterward.

Book Description

Book Description
Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.
