The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.27/5 from 136 reviews If you read only one book in your life, this is it!Life Changing BookBy the time I was 16 I decided that God could not possibly exist. I became an atheist. After studing philosophy, I realized that God could neither be proved or disproved, so I became a reluctant agnostic. I turned to science for answers, but science can only describe "how" and not "why"; science does not and can not address the question of meaning. Why is there something rather than nothing? Are we all just atoms in the void? I spent more than two decades seaching for some kind of answer. I read anything and everything..... so much that I sometimes felt that my brain simply could not absorb any more input. But I was utterly unable to take that leap of faith without feeling that I would somehow have to sacrifice my intelligence - a choice I could not and would not make. On February 11, 1984 I was given a copy of The Urantia Book. A new revelation? Yeah, right. I flipped through it from time to time, but it was several years before I actually read it from cover to cover. It changed my life. I subsequently read it many times and continue to read it on almost a daily basis. It the single most important book I have ever read. Period. I suspect I would still be an unhappy agnostic if this book had not come my way. I know now that God does exist, that there is a purpose to the universe and a purpose to my life. And I know this with my heart and my mind. KR A Super critic relentsI first came into contact with the UB in 1974. After a few hours of reading, I said,"This is too good to be true!". After a few more hours, I said," If this is not true, it should be!" During all of my years since, I literally wore out my first UB- It fell to pieces. I have detected only one "fact" difficulty. This is the UB contention of 48 chromosomes instead of the widely held contention of 46. I have recently satisfied-to my mind- this seeming difficulty. I believe that the "missing" chromosomes are MORONTIAL, and therefore not detectable by any scientific method. These invisible chromosomes probably help form the sites in the physical reception areas for mind, personality, and the contact and lodgement of Thought Adjusters. I would welcome any comment on this theory. Thank You, Roger Fuller | ||||||||||||||||||||

With the Urantia book, there is no formal religion or cult to join. The Urantia book is an epochal revelation that will enhance your personal relationship and commitment to God, regardless of your religious background and affiliation. The only thing required from you is faith and an open mind. After over 30 years of studying this book, I can say that it continues to help me grow as a child of God and a citizen of the universe.
