Product Details and Description of
Quietly, with little fanfare, this mysterious and thought-provoking book came about more than half a century ago — a book about life's purpose. 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 a combined 2000+ written reviews, 4.5 out of 5 stars.) No person is credited as the author.

The Book Tells It All
In my 5th reading I am seemingly reading much of it for the first time. Obviously I am understanding and remembering more detail. Questions often arise but the next paragraph or the next page or the next paper is where an answer can be discerned. The Truth of what it tells anchors in the mind almost from the beginning even though the narrative about the vast number of celestial beings is almost incomprehensible at first. Also the span of time that will pass as a mortal awakens in the Morantia levels and commits to undertake the journey to Paradise is beyond comprehension but nevertheless is anchored in the mind as truth believed.. This program enables the reader to set the font type and size and shade of light or darkness to his or her liking. On paper that is not possible. On paper what you see is what you get. The Urantia Book speaks to the individual at whatever level one is able to understand. From simple ability to advanced intellectual level it tells its story. It tells it all. It tells it all to me and to you and to everyone no matter who. It is a gift to all. It tells us all how to reach the Universal Father. I hope to see and share the journey with you. Let’s go..

God is Great!
The book has changed my life. I had a hard copy of the book I bought from a thrift store for one dollar! The thrift store was next for to my store. I closed the store for the day and was on my way home and something came over me telling me to go back to the thrift store and buy a book. The store was nearly a half mile or more from where I was and I walked all the way back, went in the store and the very first book I picked up was The Urantia! I opened it up and started randomly skimming through it and I automatically knew I had to have this book!

Best digital version of the UB
I’ve been studying the Urantia book for over 40 years. This is by far the best electronic edition you can get. It’s laid out in the exact same format as the original print editions, down to the way the paragraphs are set, and italicized words. These are important subtleties that many electronic versions miss. You have lots of format options (language, paragraph and page numbering and more) And the search engine is fantastic - I highly recommend paying the extra couple of bucks to have this excellent tool.
