The Urantia Book remains my True North

Unequivocally, the greatest synthesis of religion, philosophy, and science ever found in print. For forty-plus years, this book hasn't left my side. A beacon, compass, and a guide that points to true north in my life. Nothing else I've read satisfies so sublimely, and I say that as a graduate student who reads nearly a hundred books a year (without exaggeration). Be forewarned: It isn't for the casual reader looking for stimulation or a reader’s high. The composition is immaculate and its exposition is supernal. Yet, there is no coercion, rhetorical subterfuge, or sleight of hand to persuade you to accept its implicit assertions and bold claims. Either you do or you don't. Respect for the freewill of humankind exudes throughout its pages. If you do decide to take the plunge, and test its precepts, you are engaging in a lifelong journey that is eternal in scope. Your material life may or may not change but your approach to it will transform you. May take days, months or years, assuredly, in accordance with your commitment. There's something in it for anyone regardless of their station in life. Rest assured there are no experts of The Urantia Book. I wish you well should you undertake the prospect of deconstructing this 2000+ page text for yourself. Bon Voyage! Pat

The Best Story of Jesus Anywhere

This book contains the best biography of Jesus ever written. If you love Jesus and long to know more about him, you will love this book. This edition is the only edition in print to include a comprehensive index making it easy to find favorite passages and explore topics of interest. Separately published Urantia Book indexes start at $19.95 and are not as good as the one that comes with this book. It's like getting two books for the price of one.

The Urantia Book Changed My Life

The Urantia Book is a matchless handbook for spiritual growth and exploration -- for life transformation. This edition is the original and the best.I found The Urantia Book in 1980 as a high school student. I had a worldview marred by misconceptions, fears, and an ignorance of life's spiritual essentials. After spending some time with the book, I found that I was not only beginning to see the world differently, but also myself, and thus, was becoming a new person. It gave me a way to remake my life and actually become a bit more alive each day. The Urantia Book has taught me that it is my right to approach God simply through the sincerity of my heart and the effort of my will. I do not need to join any human institution or follow any human being to be close to God. I know that if I truly make an effort to pray and listen, grow and work, forgive and serve, then I will experience the full joy of personal contact with God - the Father of the universe.I know through the wonderful example of Jesus as portrayed in The Urantia Book, that I can overcome anything and that, in him, I have a loving, understanding and sympathetic brother by my side. I know that humankind is designed for greatness. I know that every act of good helps me grow and is never lost or forgotten, despite appearances. I know that the Spirit of God lives in me and will always be there to guide me.I know that each day is a new beginning.I know all of this and so much more, all because I know The Urantia Book.It's a winner.
