About the Handbook
Regardless of what our views of religion have come to be in today's very material, very secular, very troubled world, by spending time in serious reflection on the essays in this Handbook, we can find much needed reinforcement for the spiritual dimension of our lives.
Here is what an able young reporter of Wisconsin's Sauk Prairie Eagle, Jeremiah Tucker, has to say about this handbook:
Jack C. Ferver, a retired University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor, has now given us a new book, "Handbook of the Religion of Spiritual Humanism," composed of 90 essays Ferver wrote on the topic of Spiritual Humanism, a spirituality-based religion involving free thought that casts God as a creative spirit that exists throughout the universe and exalts Mother Nature as the spiritual mother of the earth and the author of the Laws of Nature.
In the book's third essay, Ferver writes that Spiritual Humanism is composed of four components, "naturalism, free thought, spirituality and humanism."
He said that as church attendance declines, more people are doing individual "spiritual searching," something his book can help guide.
This Handbook challenges us to find deeper meaning in our lives by joining in a partnership with the Creative Spirit of the Universe and Mother Nature in helping to make ours a better world. As Eckhart Tolle wrote in his The Power of Now, You are here to help the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are.
