Jesus - The Missing Years, New Teachings, And The Afterlife: Based On The Urantia Book Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The afterlife is open to all persons, religious or non-religious, from all over the world. Our destiny, after this short life is over, is conditioned only by our "spiritual longings and purposes" It is not determined by believing in a correct creed or dogma or by saying the correct words. Rather, we will pass on to the afterlife if we have the faintest desire to know more of God, more of truth, beauty, and goodness. This is a teaching found in The Urantia Book that purports to be a revelation to Earth, which the authors call Urantia. The present book is a brief introduction to The Urantia Book, a complex tome of over 2,000 pages. The Urantia Book claims to have answers to such timeless questions as: What happens to us when we die? Is there a heaven; if so, what is it like? Is God really love? Has God really set aside a hell in which people who reject him are punished? How do we get to heaven? How did Earth become such a confused and troubled planet? How do we move forward? What is the origin of human life? Many, many more teachings are found in The Urantia Book, including teachings by Jesus that we've never heard before. In this book, you will find explanations from The Urantia Book that clear up misconceptions of God, some of Jesus' teachings, the nature of the universe and the afterlife; misconceptions which have often caused confusion, heartache, and irrational fear in people all over the world.

I am a long-time student of The Urantia Book. Knott's book is the best introduction I'm aware of to this monumental revelation. It serves as a handbook, a catechism, especially for spiritual seekers alienated from organized Christian religions. This book is an opening pathway to finally discover the ultimate spiritual realities. It focuses directly on the issues which are of most interest to seekers. It is brief, written in a clear, straightforward manner, and organized in a manner that meets readers' concerns in the most effective way. As a long-time university professor, I congratulate Dr. Knott. Well done. You have done a great service.
This little book is a re-telling of the life of Jesus as portrayed in The Urantia Book. The Urantia Book is highly detailed and devotes some 600 pages to the story of Jesus' life, hence the need for a shorter summary that captures the main themes. Dr. Knott does this very well, and in the process heeds The Urantia Book's admonishment not to contend with others as concerns what might be wrong with their beliefs but rather to seek always to add something and enhance what is right about them. Dr. Knott takes this to heart and the result is a very kind and positive portrayal of Jesus' life that keeps to the spirit and the word of The Urantia Book as concerns this most important event of Earth history.
As Paul Harvey would say, Now for the Rest of the Story....This little book delivers some profound revelations about the unaccounted for, missing years of Jesus. Based on the Fifth Epochal Revelation, The Urantia Book, the author skillfully describes the significant new information that illuminates the life of Jesus in much greater detail than is contained in the Bible. This is a well written, well researched and insightful examination of some of the "trickier' questions of religion. Good and evil, the afterlife, Adam and Eve and the Lucifer rebellion. I would recommend this to experienced Urantia Book readers for the new insights and to the new reader as a digestible slice of the more intimidating Urantia Book. And of course this is a recommended meal for those who crave to know more about Jesus
The book is a thought provoking and insightful story of the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. I found myself wondering why read what may just be a story. As the Urantia Book states, be skeptical of the words of humans, we are not infallible. That being said, the Jesus, in Dr. Knott's book is loving, wise, forgiving and inclusive of all people. He is a fair an understanding God.When we look at history, we can see the divisive and destructive effects of organized religious dogmas. How they exclude large portions of humanity. The Urantia Book describes these phenomena.It is virtually impossible to discern fact from story , so we are all left to choose what story we use to guide our lives. The teachings of the Jesus in "the Missing years," would bring out the best in us and others, which I think is the intention of religious teachings. It makes sense, and is an empowering guide to living your life.It is an insightful read with some surprises about the afterlife and it just might leave the reader with a mindset that makes possible a less fearful and more loving and peaceful life.Ron, Colorado
Some concepts found in the Iranian may be hard for some to except,this book help with that. It strips away the teachings of a fearful God and shines light on the true messages Jesus came to give us. A message of a loving person God, a message that you are truly loved. I have studied many religious teachings and read thousands of spiritual books, I have to say the Urantia and books based on it have made more impact on my spiritual growth and in my life than any other.
The Urantia Book is hard to read, Dr. Knott's book condensed and focused Christ's teaching which I found helpful. For those people who find traditional Christianity limited, The Urantia Book fills in the gaps. Traditional religion focuses solely on Christ's life on earth, the Urantia Book gives us the perspective of Christ as an eternal being. We come to know Christ and who he is from a higher level of existance, and that is comforting and inspiring.
