<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Jesus comes to life in this fascinating modern biography excerpted from <i>The Urantia Book</i>. Many of these historical stories are familiar to readers of the New Testament but dozens are new, including the missing years not found in the Bible. Here you discover Jesus presented as never before, both as divine Son and human hero whose matchless life inspires, comforts, and transforms you.</p> <p>It is beautifully written in modern, page-turning prose and complemented with 106 paintings from 35 renowned artists, including 42 originally commissioned works you will see for the first time. The paintings run the gamut of fine art celebrating the life of Christ, both classic and modern. These artists poured their souls into these portraits of higher spiritual reality. Our deep appreciation and humble gratitude go out to each one of them.</p> <p>These paintings illustrate Jesus' life journey from his humble birth and childhood to adolescence and manhood; from private to public ministry and on to his death, resurrection, and ascension. The artwork celebrates his diverse life as son, father-brother, carpenter, boat designer and builder, tutor, translator, caravan conductor, teacher, healer, minister, and friend. No one knows what Jesus looked like, but these artists painted their soulful interpretations to spark our imagination of these scenes from the Master's life. Our intent is to give you a visual communion with Jesus that complements the enthralling narrative.</p> <p>This impeccably designed book provides relevant and empowering spiritual insights, helping you navigate the challenging yet promising conditions of the 21st century. We live in an exciting era of unprecedented improvements in our material lives brought about by scientific, industrial, and social achievements. Yet despite all this progress, many souls feel lonely and displaced. We need God and have an innate thirst for spiritual answers because of that "still, small voice" that lives within us. Finding God by living the personal religion of Jesus satisfies that thirst.</p> <p>The search for the genuine Jesus continues to intrigue humanity. Since the Bible only records an estimated 50 days of his life, it follows that there is more to his story. You will find it here in this detailed history of the Master's entire life, including the public ministry recorded in the Gospels. It provides a coherent and seamless biography of this magnificent personality who continues to shape spiritual progress in our world.</p> <p>The story of Jesus is one of the most enthralling chapters in human history. The closing passage of the Apostle John's gospel speaks to a life larger than even the world itself. How fitting that the last words of his gospel should be the first words of this book: "But there are also many things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself would not contain the books that would be written." In John's day the Word was made flesh. In these days the Word is made book.</p> <p><i>The Untold Story of Jesus</i> reveals the living Christ to members of the church that bears his name, as well as to worshipers of all world religions. It is sure to become a favorite volume for all who seek God.</p> <p><strong>A Final Thought</strong></p> <p>We pray that these stories, teachings, and paintings provide you with a new sense of faith, comfort, and purpose. And to you who may not believe in Jesus, we ask you to look again. Read the stories, enjoy the art, and get to know the man through new eyes.</p> <p>What the world needs now is unconditional love, unfailing compassion, and matchless goodwill. Even after two thousand years, Jesus' teachings have not been practiced on a global scale. When that day comes, his inspired life will transform, transfigure, and rule this world. His message of personal faith in a loving heavenly Father coupled with unselfish service to one another is a clear and direct pathway to peace in this life and passage to the next. May you be blessed by the supreme adventure that follows!</p> <p>"Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it."</p> <p><strong>About the Authors</strong></p> <p>The book was produced by Mo Siegel and Jim English and edited by a team of Urantia Book scholars headed by MaryJo Garascia. The book was designed by Carol Norton with Barbara Brownell Grogan as contributing editor.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jesus comes to life in this fascinating modern biography excerpted from <i>The Urantia Book</i>.

Drawn from <em>The Urantia Book</em>, a treasury of spiritual truths and insights, its intent is to inspire men and women around the world to know more about Jesus and to spread his message of love and goodwill.</p> <p><strong>What did Jesus teach?</strong></p> <p>"Whosoever will, let him come."</p> <p>Welcoming, and free from all narrow-mindedness, Jesus exhorted his followers to preach the gospel to all peoples. His sympathetic heart embraced all mankind, even a universe.</p> <p>"Be of good cheer."</p> <p>This man of Galilee was not a man of sorrows; he was a soul of gladness. He could maintain this confident attitude because of his unswerving trust in God and his unshakable confidence in man. He was always touchingly considerate of all men because he loved them and believed in them.</p> <p>"Behold, I stand at the door and knock, and if any man will open, I will come in."</p> <p>Jesus taught that God is approachable, the Father is attainable, and the way is open to any hungry soul who desires to know God and become like him.</p> <p>"My love overshadows you, my spirit will dwell with you, and my peace shall abide upon you."</p> <p>The peace of Jesus is the peace and assurance of a person who fully believes that his career for time and eternity is safely and wholly in the care and keeping of an all-wise, all-loving, and all-powerful spirit Father. This is the peace which surpasses all understanding.</p> <p>"The kingdom of God is within you."</p> <p>Men seek for the treasures of the kingdom with yearning hearts and weary feet when they are all within the immediate grasp of living faith.</p>
