When I ordered a copy of "The Untold Story of Jesus: A Modern Biography from The Urantia Book", I was not prepared for the extraordinary quality of the book. I was delighted by the sheer beauty of the full-color artwork which illustrates the major events of the life of Jesus from his birth to his death as recounted in The Urantia Book, and by the illuminating and superbly well-written content of the book. One would expect to pay more than double the price for this fine quality printing. Kudos to all those who produced this labor of love.
But more to the point, this is the book that so many Christians and Catholics - and other truthseekers - would love to read if they are fortunate enough to find out about it. Growing up as a Catholic, I can say that most of us were frustrated by the lack of information about the entirety of the life of Jesus - not just as a Son of God but also as a human being like us. We all wanted to know about his childhood and family life, his schooling and friends, his life lessons and personal struggles, the major decisions he had to make about his life's mission, and what kind of work and travels he engaged in before he started his public ministry.
How did he become such an unparalleled master spiritual teacher, whose sublime life significantly upstepped the moral and spiritual evolution of our world? How can the knowledge of how he lived and what he taught help each of us to live a more enlightened, compassionate, meaningful, purpose-driven, and helpful life?
"The Untold Story of Jesus: A Modern Biography from The Urantia Book" is a treasure of inexhaustible meaning and value. It will fascinate and delight you, enlighten and uplift you, and give you a whole new perspective on the life of a true spiritual hero whose life and teachings are what the world needs most right now during this pivotal time of transition in our world civilization.

A Well Made and Fascinating Book to Read

The first thing I thought as I opened the box containing this book was “Wow, this is a beautiful book!”, and indeed it is. It has 340+ pages on a good quality, thick glossy paper, and over 100 beautiful paintings of art within its pages. The binding is good quality and has a convenient read fabric ribbon sewn into the spine as a bookmark. You can tell that a lot of care and attention was put into this book.
As for the contents: You get a preface, the (abridged) text of Part IV of the Urantia Book, dealing with the life of Jesus, conclusion, a time line of the life of Jesus, Bible and Urantia Book references, and a glossary of Urantia Book terms.
The stories within can seem quite fantastic, and in my view, takes a lot of liberties in describing the life of Jesus as a child, teenager, schoolboy and young adult. But still, it is a fascinating read. Readers of the Urantia Book will be well aware of the life of Jesus according to the Urantia Book, but to those, like me, who only take the Bible as authority on the life of Jesus, it can seem vary strange reading. The Urantia Book, it is claimed, was provided to the English-speaking nations by divine beings, angels if you like, via what I would describe as a “conduit”, a person who was used by them to channel all this information.
So, in summary; it’s a beautifully made book, fascinating to read whether you believe it to be divinely narrated or simply a ficitonal book written by some chap over a period of about 20 years.
