Summary: The most remarkable book in print!!!
Review: Authored by a richly diverse group of celestial personalities, this sublime revelation of truth, beauty and goodness, is a gift of almost unbelievable dimension to our world, Urantia. This is a unique blend of history, science, philosophy and spiritual inspiration. It is not to be missed by the cosmically minded and evolving souls of seekers everywhere. I'm convinced that Newton and Einstein were looking for this book. Martin Gardner's critique is flawed, various internet sites offer insight on this. Twenty translations are in progress, but already available are the Spanish, Finnish, French, and Russian translations. See http://www.ubfellowship.org.

Summary: An IMPROVEMENT on "The Greatest Story Ever Told!"
Review: Forget the fact that the Urantia Book surpasses the Bible, the Bahagavad-Gita, AND the Book of Mormon combined -- both in sheer size and the vast depths of the temporal, spatial, and spiritual teachings. And forget it's dazzling logic and incredible self-consistency.
Better than all that is the final section: 800+ pages of the life and times of one Jesus of Nazareth. Instilled with a love for Jesus and His story since early childhood, I was deeply thrilled to find a version of the story that vastly increases the nobility, wisdom, compassion, and sheer divinity depicted in the person of our Living Saviour.
The Bible's Jesus is a great man indeed; the Urantia Book portrays a Jesus who is far more than great, and far more than merely a Man

Summary: Synthesizing Religion, Philosophy and Science. Interesting;
Review: This 2097 page book covers nearly every topic of interest to the searching, self aware individual. Subjects include: the early development of the planet and how it differs in construction from many other planets; Early man and their ideas regarding dreams, ghosts and the afterlife; and, a more complete text on the life of Jesus than can be found anywhere else. It is a controversial book in may circles, but it is sure to keep your interest and peak your curiosity regardless of your scientific, religious or philosophical beliefs. Every time I read it, I get more out of it

Summary: The URANTIA Book is a breathtakingly replete religious work.
Review: The URANTIA Book published by URANTIA Foundation is the most consistent and inspiring book on religion I have found in over four decades of searching. The effect on the reader is to increase one's certainty about God. For me, Part III on the "History of Urantia" which is the book's name for our planet was most persuasive. It speaks about things we can see in the world and discusses their causes. The effect is breathtaking. Part IV on the life of Jesus then shows how spiritual values are able to be actually lived as they were two thousand years ago in the life of Jesus. There is a wide range of topics covered such as astronomy, marriage, geography, the equality of women, and government, to name a few. The URANTIA Book is a work so replete that it may be read in a matter of months, but additional readings result in added understandings. For those who like religion to be spoon-fed, The URANTIA Book may not be for them. But for those who hunger to know God better, want to know God as a living reality, and translate this love into lives of practical service filled with truth, beauty, and goodness, this book is a roadmap for living spiritually and joyfully in this world

Summary: On the journey in quest of spiritual freedom, a must read.
Review: Buddha's son once said after trying to comprehend his father's teaching of the freedom of salvation through faith, "Work out your own salvation." and be your own teacher, "It's not TRUTH until its YOUR TRUTH." The Urantia Book is not for everybody, just yet. It should be read as a personal, subjective document of immense importance for the sincere truth seeker. The continuity of content, harmony of values and beauty of insight profoundly impressed me. If you have discovered the Urantia Book, you must seriously consider that you are NOW ready for an expansion of your cosmic understandings, an enlargement of your spiritual values, and an acceptance of greater peace. DON'T RESIST. By its own admission, the Urantia Book does not have all the answers. Truth is always dependent on cultural context in time and space. However, if you are looking for relative answers to fill in the gaps of information in such topics as: "The life, times and teachings of Jesus", or the cultural connection between humans and angels, or the eternal connection between the human spirit and the eternal spirit, or maybe the physical connections of ETs and terrestials here on Urantia or in our local cosmic neighborhood. You will be pleased with the revealed information in the Urantia Book. How about possible answers to the "Crop Circle " phenomenon, or the mythology behind the "fall of man" or the apocalypse? You may derive answers from the Urantia Book. The Urantia Book states, "It's not so much what you learn or do here in this Earth life but rather that you have the experience. This is paramount." Regardless of our origin of race, cultural beliefs or family background, and no matter how much material wealth, health or happiness we achieve, the overwhelming message for me in the Urantia Book during these past 25 years has been: "Its not that you win or loose but HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME," or "It's not how many times you fall down BUT how many times you get ! up that matters in this life experience." The greatest realization for me from the Urantia Book was that we are all just starting out on our own eternal adventure of achieving ever expanding and increasing levels of: comprehending wisdom; experiencing universal truths; realizing greater cosmic insights; and living expanded spiritual values in a nearly endless progression of advancing lives. Perfection is our destiny, service is our goal, and Love is our reward. Happy journey, see you on the path. -Robert Linnell

Summary: Life Changing Book
Review: By the time I was 16 I decided that God could not possibly exist. I became an atheist. After studing philosophy, I realized that God could neither be proved or disproved, so I became a reluctant agnostic. I turned to science for answers, but science can only describe "how" and not "why"; science does not and can not address the question of meaning. Why is there something rather than nothing? Are we all just atoms in the void? I spent more than two decades seaching for some kind of answer. I read anything and everything..... so much that I sometimes felt that my brain simply could not absorb any more input. But I was utterly unable to take that leap of faith without feeling that I would somehow have to sacrifice my intelligence - a choice I could not and would not make. On February 11, 1984 I was given a copy of The Urantia Book. A new revelation? Yeah, right. I flipped through it from time to time, but it was several years before I actually read it from cover to cover. It changed my life. I subsequently read it many times and continue to read it on almost a daily basis. It the single most important book I have ever read. Period. I suspect I would still be an unhappy agnostic if this book had not come my way. I know now that God does exist, that there is a purpose to the universe and a purpose to my life. And I know this with my heart and my mind. KR
