The Urantia Book
I have been a voracious reader and seeker of greater truth pertaining to spiritual understanding. I have read and reread the Urantia Book several times; as it is the most profound, accurate, and revealing source I have ever come across in my sixty years of life. I bought seven of these to give out to special people in my life who are in search of enlightenment and truth. This book picks up where the Holy Bible leaves off ... and explains all of creation -- Creator God, the heirarchy of Angels, and other of God's created beings in the "heavenly realms"; as well as their duties, stations of service, roles in God's plan, etc. This book also explains "Adam and Eve", "Satan", the Luciferian rebellion, the role of mankind's development and consciousness, and the many "mansions" we have to look forward to in our continuing development once we leave our earthly bodies behind at "death". Life is neverending, and we are on learning journey -- full of various experiences -- which allow us to grow and mature in the manner we need in order to make progress in spiritual realms. Rather than being "humans seeking a spiritual experience", we are "spirits having a human experience". The Urantia book is extremely well written, very detailed, and full of the history of not only our individual experiences, but the detailed historical narrative of all of God's creation. It explains God's role; the Angel's roles, ranks, and duties; plus the roles, ranks, and duties of many other lifeforms created by the Creator, and living throughout creation. There are so many more forms of life than we have ever imagined, and the Urantia book is an excellent source to find a much greater wisdom and understanding regarding the totality of creation, and our unique experience as humans. I simply cannot recommend this book strongly enough. One of the three sections of the Urantia Book is dedicated to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ ... and is, by far, the best commentary I've ever been priviledged to read on the subject of Christ and His life -- both before, during, and after His bestowal on Earth. The true teachings of Christ (and ergo "Christianity") are better clarified, and without the denominational distortions in Truth that we find in organized religions today. I found it a "must read" value. If you are seriously seeking to understand the very essence and nature of creation, spirituality, and your own meaning and purpose, I would strongly suggest reading this book -- then buy copies and give them to all your friends, loved ones and seekers of the truth. You will be glad you did!Read full review
