Many of us in this troubled world desire to make a difference—to help and to heal. But from where comes such a desire? How do we get to that place where we become truly interested in each other? How does this interest become friendship, and ripen into Love? If we can answer this, we have found the key; for once we love someone, the desire wells up to help and to heal.
But from where comes this desire to love one another? It appears naturally among family and friends; it builds between neighbours who work together; and it begins between strangers once trust is won. And why is Love so powerful, so efficient at resolving the knots in our relationships? To understand this we need to know more about what and who we are.
The Urantia Book offers enlightened answers to these old questions. As well as providing a larger frame in which to think—one that may satisfy scientists, philosophers and religionists alike—the Urantia Papers reveal a fresh perspective on Personality. They trace for us the rise and role of Love, from the eternal core of the Absolute directly into the human heart.
The Urantia Book, first published by Urantia Foundation in 1955, is the latest in a series of revelations of truth to our world. It provides intensely moving insights that could transform humanity and inspire all peoples.
The central message is that all human beings are one family, the sons and daughters of one God, the Universal Father. The authors instruct us on the origin, history, and destiny of mankind and on our relationship with God. They also present a unique and compelling portrayal of the life and teachings of Jesus, open new vistas of time and eternity, and reveal new concepts of mankind’s ever-ascending adventure of finding the Universal Father in our friendly and carefully administered universe.
The views of science, philosophy, and religion presented in The Urantia Book are among the clearest and most concise integration of these subjects available to contemporary times. Among the thousands of people who have purchased, read, and studied The Urantia Book, there is no question that it can make a significant contribution to the religious and philosophic thinking of all peoples. It truly has the potential to reshape world destiny.
Thousands of people from around the world have discovered that the truths of The Urantia Book have profoundly impressed them and changed their lives—inspiring them and stimulating them to new levels of spiritual growth and enlightened living.
The authors of The Urantia Book do not advocate a new organized religion. They build on the religious heritage of the past and present, encouraging a personal, living religion based on faith and service to one’s fellows. This spiritual awakening would launch a new and improved era of human relationships and global progress through the spiritual transformation of each individual and all mankind.
We encourage you to read The Urantia Book and discover for yourself how these teachings may, through the embrace of truth, beauty, and goodness, stimulate new levels of spiritual growth and enlightened living.
