The Urantia Book

Quietly, with little fanfare, this mysterious and thought-provoking book came about more than half a century ago — a book about life's purpose, the nature of reality, and life after death. Reviews from www.amazon.com:

"Both otherworldly and down to earth, both simple and sophisticated, both soothing and shaking... I can describe it using a thousand words and still not begin to describe it. There is nothing like it in print, that's for sure."

"A monumental piece of work that clearly was meticulously crafted."

"I most appreciate the wisdom in this book, both in quantity and quality, I have not read anything that even comes close."

"If you have been searching for inspiration, this book is alive."

"Best book on the planet — and has satisfied my every question."

(After 20 years on Amazon and 500+ written reviews, 4.5 out of 5 stars.)

No person is credited as the author. How did this strange but relentlessly detailed and expansive book come to be written? Is it wisdom literature or sci-fi? In methodical prose, it lays out an epic story that has intrigued many people who have come across it.

This book is a revelation of cosmic reality and the Deity that intentionally created it. it is not only a revealer of a true God but it explains humankind and our role in spiritual evolution.


Is the world ready?

I live and breath the philosophy of The Urantia Book. I would die for and my testimony for it.


This’ll never be the first book you read, it’ll only the last.
NastyCat

This book is perfection, so exquisitely articulate in its design, that I hardly have the words to summarize. I am like an infant in awe when I pick up this book. A book that will take me through to the rest of my life and even then I will die with only a fraction of its concepts understood.


Beautiful
JamesWfromWichita

The quote feature is my favorite part. To open to a new and wonderful quote each time is great. And the ease of reading further and deeper into each paper is very well done.


Awsome! Love it!

Ive been waiting for this update for a minute!


Most profound conscious expanding

So amazing to have this book with me where ever I go. The wisdom life changing. I do with there was a way to highlight and organize sections for personal study. I like to go back and revisit often. The reading history cue doesn’t suffice. Other than that this is my most favorite app- ever.


? Truth —
doviine

— is always a revelation if you think about it honestly. We’re ready to face the facts of reality and it’s gonna hurt so good ? The Urantia Book is a map of the true(higher) self, massive “outer” multi-verse (heaven of heavens), as well as the origins of the cosmos and our existential destiny. Thanks for your generosity and steadfastness in making this study of the Urantia Book possible ... it’s truly priceless! So thrilled as I do most all research on my phone. — Marge Hill


Inspirational book
RMMMMMMMMMMM7777999

Great reading, very detailed on important matters. Makes you look at religious beliefs from a new perspective. I wonder if a man of science reads some of the chapters he or she may notice reference to topics like dark energy or dark matters. Splendid book!


Since 1979
Everykindofpeople

Unusual circumstances led me to discovering this book in the basement of an old closed used book store in SanFrancisco in 1979. I studied it off and on for many years finding it both fascinating and strange. It's consistency is uncanny and I can't imagine how a human could have written it. I'm not a particularly religious person. I've found it very inspirational. It's one of life's great mysteries. Certainly little if anything can be said about it before reading it in it's entirety. Many lack the patience I suppose.


SEARCH Please!!!
Ripinto

Dear developer pelase add a search feature to this application. Until then I will rate this application 4 stars. Even though the book deserves 5.
