The Untold Story of Jesus: A Modern Biography from The Urantia Book Hardcover – May 6, 2019

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.

In a world seemingly obsessed with ugliness, injustice and untruths, comes the story of a man called Jesus, the Son of God, who we meet as the Son of Man.The reader is treated to a flowing narrative, beautifully illustrated, that gives a snapshot of the ancient culture in which Jesus lived. The refreshingly uncomplicated description of the Master’s journey from birth, step by step through the landscape of his outstanding career is presented for all to see and understand from a human, not religious, standpoint.I think “The Untold Story of Jesus” is the most important book of this century and second only to “The Urantia Book,” as the most important book of our millennium. It is not religious. It simply brings the Son of Man to our attention, as he has been overshadowed by the church’s promotion of the Son of God. Of course, Jesus is both, but, oh how refreshing and life-changing to meet Jesus the man; born like all of us; growing up with brothers and sisters, like all of us; and experiencing the joys, disappointments, and agonies of life and death, like all of us.Yet, Jesus modeled a life of love, understanding, and perfection. “The Untold Story of Jesus” is thrilling to read because the well-written, flowing prose is accessible to everyday people. Many will recognize the events that generations have heard in parts over the centuries, events whose truths grab the heart as the stories come to life on the pages.It is indeed a thrilling experience to get to know Jesus the man we love, not only because he loved us first, but also because he was a living human example of love, who shows us how.

I very much liked the art which contributed to visualizing places and people of his life. Most especially did I like the narration of his personal, one-on-one talks, such as with Chang as he traveled and taught. This book offers many new insights about Jesus and his purposes, insights that will, in time, mightily contribute to improved world order and lead to planetary peace.Jesus human life modeling of relationships sets a new "touchstone" of eminence and quality. He was a master of relationships because he superbly mastered himself. Growing up from childhood he sought truth as a brilliant student, showing his parents and community strong interest in learning everything. And yet, he was the Creator of the material life he came to admire, even wondering how water could be steam and liquid and even become ice.He became a wise family manager after his father's untimely death. Narration of his wisdom dealing with difficult financial matters is valuable guidance for all people, as patience was modeled. He early developed a strong faith in his Father God, just as he now desires for us.The Untold Story of Jesus is truly a gift to inspire people of all religions to take a serious and joyful look at Jesus' everlastingly valuable guidance for all people. After all is said, no person throughout the world is obligated to any organized religion for a pathway to God. No person is required to adopt Christianity to like Jesus. This book shows him as a true, loving friend to all.

This book contains stunning artwork and lots of interesting information to ponder. It covers years of the life of Jesus/Yeshua not covered in the Bible so I cannot state its authenticity. But it covers many interesting ideas and interpretations to consider. Thoughtfully written and a joy to behold.
