Quietly, with little fanfare, this mysterious and thought-provoking book came about more than half a century ago — a book about lifes 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, thats 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. 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.

- Bookmarks
- History

Instructions:
- While reading, a bookmark is added by double-tapping on the navigation bar title (for instance, "Paper 160" in the screenshots you can see here on the App Store). Bookmarks can also be added using the History rows. Tap the blue star on the right side of a History row to bookmark that location.
- By triple-tapping on a navigation bar title, you can conveniently switch night mode on and off. This also works in the Quotes section of the app.
- Helpful tips while reading quotes: Swiping left and right gives you the next quote or lets you see a previous one. Alternatively, simply double-tap on a quote to go to the next one. These gestures are especially useful on devices with larger screens, compared to reaching for the "New" button.

The book is free to read. For app requests and comments, please send them to [email protected]. Enjoy.

Pros and cons of The Urantia Book app for iPhone and iPad

The Urantia Book app good for

It is a lot more interesting and packed with different details. Its almost a harmony of science and religion. However as mere humans, our understanding of such a book will be severely limited... Still an amazing book tho
Nice work in making this book available for Iphone and Ipod touch. It would be a better tool in study groups if it had a search engine like spotlight, it would make it so much better. Thanks for the gift of service. Gaétan G. Charland
I have this book for 15 years, nice to have it with me all the time on my iphone. Thank you.
What gift to now have access to The Urantia Books wisdom. Thank you who ever you are!
Its a gift to have this book on me all the time.read it and see what it does to u.my life change since I have it.dont listen to skeptics.read it and judge by yourself.
There is a 90 percent chance the book is true. The book says Jesus Christ did many miracles. Read it.

Some bad moments

The book is written like as a priest lecturing stupid school kids. Its text uses a totalitarian approach to forward the message, with constantly emphasising, we humans cannot comprehend the bigger and "outer" things - "Thank you God, you made your point, now let me contemplate without your interference. You become more and more an annoyance.". The principle with new texts like this, including the book of Mormon, is, the authors are astute mind readers what humans want to hear, they cleverly translate their assumptions into make-believe fictional superimposed facets with the goal humans stand with awe in front of the newly self-created Devine human leader. Summoning up Urantia, its another trick-pony made in Chicago, attempting to rewrite the Biblical history. Apart from reading the Bible, I also read the Quran, ancient Sanskrit writings and Sumerian translations. I encourage to make the book of Urantia a must read for the sol purpose of free education on any subject. We live in a supposedly free society, in which we can think what we want, and believe what we want. If people find unquestioned peace in the teachings of this book, then the book served its purpose to those. However, my research on the book is conclusive. No further comment.
From a theological point of view it pretends to go along with Christianity but differs in crucial points. It says Jesus didnt do miracles and was not born from a virgin. There are other examples. From a scientific point of view, it has some wacky theories, like the universe being trillions of years old, and electrons being made up of 100 smaller particles. None of it with a shred of support. Good for a read if treated as fiction but not recommended as historical fact like it claims.
The book reminds very vividly that the most powerful country in the world, the USA, is still also a country of illuminated Gods fools, always in the way of inventing a yet another heresy, and always in the way of bringing their new heresies in the pentacostal way to the rest of the yet not so illuminated world. Oh, Lord, have a pity of all of us!
So smart, for nothing... Why waste your time going against something unstoppable?.... Read the real BIBLE please!! Give a try, and youll see how powerful it is...
If you believe UFOs and space men created the universe, this app is for you.
Its so sad that this book compromises truth and joins a bunch of religions together to make a mish-mosh of them all. All this does is misleads people and tells them lies. Whats more sad is that so many people believe it. I dont mean to sound intolerant, but the only truth comes from the Bible. I pray that anyone who reads this review will check out the Bible for themselves and see the truth in it. It will change your life if you will let it. Im praying for anyone who reads this review. God bless you!
