Big Blue Book

       iOS iPhone

A book about life after death, the nature of reality, God, science, life on other worlds... Quietly, with little fanfare, this unusual book came about in Chicago, Illinois more than half a century ago, with no person credited as the author, and a premise instead that it is a message to give answers to the questions about existence that people have tried to understand for so long.

Reviews 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, that's 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 12 years and 200+ written amazon reviews, cumulative 4 out of 5 stars.)

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. The title of it is The Urantia Book. If you ever see it in real life: it is big and it is blue.
