Product Description
The Urantia Book may be the most powerful evidence ever that mankind is not alone and that there is intelligent life in the Universe. The Urantia Book boldly claims to be a revelation of truth to our world from a friendly and well-ordered universe. A revelation, in book form, intended to help guide humankind into the next era of evolutionary progress. It provides a deeper appreciation and understanding of our own planetary family, as well as our place in the cosmic family of freewill intelligent beings. It reveals as never before an infinite circle of creation, at the center of which reigns our beneficent and loving creator. First published in 1955, The Urantia Book is a literary masterpiece that harmonizes science, religion, and philosophy, while illuminating mankind s origin, history and destiny. A full third of the book is devoted to the life and teachings of Jesus and is undoubtedly the most sublimely beautiful story of Jesus ever told. Part I, The Central and Super Universe, deals with God the first source and center all things and beings in a vast creation. It reveals as never before the perfect and loving nature of God, who is not only our Creator but the creator of a Universe of Universes. It exquisitely portrays God s as the divine source of all that is and the divine parent of every freewill intelligent being. It provides unfathomable depth in describing both the spiritual and physical organization of the entire cosmos. Part II, The Local Universe, focuses on our part of the cosmos, describing life as it is organized and exists in our Local Universe. It explains the many celestial helpers who guide us in our journey inward to the center of creation, giving a detailed account of what happens to us when our life on Earth is done, as well as revealing our personal, planetary, and universe destiny. Part III, The History of Urantia, is an extraordinarily insightful depiction of the evolution of life on Earth. It describes humanity s journey from the most primitive forms of civilization to our current situation, and reveals practical next steps to help us advance to even higher levels of existence. Dedication to the ideals of marriage and family life are revealed as critical to advancing civilization. Eventually, the cosmic reality of the global family of all mankind will carry us on to our ultimate goal of planetary progress. The details and significance of Adam and Eve and Melchizedek further complete our historical knowledge. The presentation of the Divine Spark of God that lives within each individual is one of the major concepts presented. Part IV, The Life and Teachings of Jesus, lifts Jesus out of the context of the Christian religion and portrays his life and teachings in a way that is inspiring to people of all faiths and all walks of life. This includes a profoundly moving account of Jesus' life in chronological order from birth, through childhood, adolescence, adult years (including his private and public ministries), and eventual death and resurrection. Readers of The Urantia Book commonly experience profound transformation, and an uplifting desire to grow in spirit and grace, to actually live in partnership with God.

 thumbs down, get the original April 6, 2008

The Urantia Book changed my life, but The Uversa Press stole the text for this publication from the Urantia Foundation. I highly recommend spending the extra $7 and buying the original. The "pretty pictures" on the cover detract from the message, lending a preconception inconsistent with the teachings. A big thumbs down from a long time Urantia Book reader.
 Truth or Fiction? March 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Urantia Book is an experience in soul growth. Although many will find it difficult to penetrate, by reading the four parts in reverse order was the way I penetrated its authenticity.
Is it possible for celestial personalities to communicate with us via this written communication called "The Urantia Book"?
After reading The Urantia Book for over 25 years, there is no doubt in my mind The Urantia Book is authored by celestial personalities, or angels if you will.
Topics of discussion range from God the Father (Papers 1-5), to the history of our world which is called "Urantia", including the Lucifer Rebellion over 200,000 years ago (Papers 53 & 67), to the entire Life and Teachings of Jesus(Papers 120 - 196).
I was especially drawn into its authenticity when I first read the account of the arrest, trail and crucifixtion of Jesus, Papers 183 - Paper 187.
It is well worth the effort and will aid all those searching for Truth.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Klaver

Have not read the entire book but read the section on the life of Jesus Christ. It gives a lot of detail about the "missing years" and his siblings which is very interesting and informative. I do not understand where all this information originated but so far have not read anything that is in direct conflict with the Bible. I plan to read the entire book in the near future.
A must read, inspirational guide book for living and loving. December 23, 2007

Ever since I discovered the Urantia Book I cannot put it down. The Audio book has been incredibly helpful because the book is lengthy, and I listen to it while I'm driving to and from work. I initially started at Part I - The Central and Superuniverses, but got a little bogged down with all the new terminology, so I went straight to Part IV, The Life and Teachings of Jesus, which I just finished. I was moved to worshipful tears repeatedly. Part IV covers Jesus' life in beautiful detail, and explains how the early church got started, as well as the True Gospel of Jesus, which has gotten distorted through the ages. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand their personal relationship with God.
Best book I've ever read--and reread, and reread! November 21, 2007

The Urantia Book is by far the best book I have ever read--and reread, and reread. It answers all of the "Big questions" like "Where did we come from?" "Why are we here?" and "Where are we going?" The answers bring a real sense of peace and joy and resiliance for whatever life offers. Nowhere else is all of this information available!
