Publisher's summary

Part 4 is an easy listening and inspiring biography of the life and teachings of Jesus. This narrative spans his life from his birth in Bethlehem to his death in Jerusalem. The authors describe his childhood, his struggles to overcome teenage problems, his travels and adventures, and his fascinating episodes of personal and public ministry. While The Urantia Book's presentation of Jesus generally corresponds with the Bible, it stands unique, packed with new information and fresh insights.

The Urantia Book fills in the 30 years of Jesus’ life missing from the New Testament. If you’re interested in learning a great deal more about Jesus, you’ll gain deep understanding of his life and teachings from Part 4 of The Urantia Book.

Highlights of Part 4 include: The missing years of Jesus' life; the premature death of Jesus' father; Jesus helping to raise his seven brothers and sisters; Rebecca's proposal of marriage; Jesus' work as a carpenter, boat builder, scribe, teacher, and camel caravan conductor; his journeys to Egypt, Rome, and the Caspian Sea; his life with the apostles; stories of the hundreds of people Jesus helped; healing the sick; the dark days preceding the crucifixion; Jesus' resurrection and appearances; the power of the Spirit of Truth; and the mysterious nature of the human and divine Jesus.

Very informative and interesting

I enjoyed the intimate look at Jesus family, struggles, and religious life. i desire to know God's will by talking to him casually about everything just as Jesus did.

A great use of time.

I’d like to listen to this in Spanish and other languages. Such a pleasure to focus on Jesus.

Read the Urantia Book!

I recommend that every human on earth explore this Urantia Book, putting their bias and religious training aside! This book includes an incredible spiritual and religious history of the of this planet, and clearly defines that we are NOT ALONE! A WONDER OF A BOOK! Aaron Olson

Amazing biography of Jesus

Thanks for putting The Urantia Book on Audible. The readers do a terrific job so the book is good listening. Since the Urantia Book uses modern English and narrative storytelling, it is much easier to get through than most religious literature. I downloaded the compressed file level 2 so the book did not take up too much room on my IPod.

I loved listening to Part 4 of The Urantia Book. The first hour was tough to understand because it related to Part 2 of the book. But once I got to the chapter on the birth and infancy of Jesus, it was easy listening the rest of the way. Wow, this book takes a really different look at the life of Jesus. Best I have read so far. It recounts his complete life and teachings. Before reading The Urantia Book, I loved the story of Jesus in the New Testament, but felt disappointed that it only covered 20% of his chronological life. I wanted to know his entire life story, complete with all the missing years. Bingo, The Urantia Book tells about his childhood, teenage years, life in his Twenties, and his entire public ministry. They detail the death of his father Joseph, his 19 months of travel in the Mediterranean region with two East Indians, his year journey as a camel caravan conductor going from Nazareth to the Caspian Sea, and his preparation for his public ministry. It must have 50 times the information, stories, sermons, etc. than the New Testament. It actually helped me understand the New Testament better.

For spiritual adventurers, this book is a thrill.

The most important Christian book of our times

Any professing Christian should read this book. It’s not a sin to listen and review material for Gods word and spirit. If you only read one of the thousand translations of the Bible. You are missing the details of everything. A true revelation for our times and much more detail for a civilization not in the Bronze Age!!

The best of the best!

Amazing!!! Jesus comes alive and Real to the subject that is Truly listening! Words will not represent what this book has done for my understanding in who and where GOD is and what He is

must listen. thought 1st was more important no wil

this will change you. must listen. thought 1st was more important no will be the best

The greatest thing to ever happen to me

The audio has always been more than acceptable to me, even loud if I want.

The Urantia Book is the absolute greatest thing to ever happen to me in my life. I cannot imagine my life without this book. I cannot imagine not having this book this past year after my mom died suddenly at the age of barely 65 while laying down for a nap. It brings comfort at levels that nothing else has my entire life. I found it during a dark time in my life and marriage and went on a quest for truth, for God, though I didn’t know it at the time. I fell in love with Jesus. He’s my best friend. And I’d never say that as a Mormon, which I was born and raised, but never could subscribe to the belief in myself. This book speaks truth. Whenever I would question it after listening to a YouTube video against the book the moment I started listening it’s words all doubt left. I can’t subscribe to any religion fully here on earth because not one of them fully represent God how I always knew God to be, but this book shares about a God that is so much more and so much better than a God I could ever dream up. Now this is the God I am willing to give my life to. This is the God I want to be like. This is the God worth giving up my entire life for and every bad habit I have. My words cannot do this book justice. It’s so much greater than I could ever put words to. Do not hesitate and get this 3 part book. But please read it in it’s entirety before you entertain any negative thoughts. And read it backwards, part 4 first, or pick a subject of interest. You are likely to get overwhelmed by the high-level of English that makes up part 1. If I could only choose one material item in life and forsake all else, I would easily pick “The Urantia Book” even above my home. It means everything to me. It saved my life and even more, it saved my soul. God bless🙏🏻💞

I have gained new insights by listening

If you could sum up The Urantia Book (Part 4): The Life and Teachings of Jesus in three words, what would they be?

This book has been a long-time companion and has truly changed my life. Listening to this on my iPod while driving long trips has really been a much better experience than I had even hoped for. It's amazing to me that, in hearing the words, I have been able to get a deeper perspective of some of the amazing talks that Jesus gave. It's allowed me to see how the ideas flow into one another with purpose. This, I wasn't able to easily see in reading.

I would recommend that anyone who's read the Urantia Book download a copy of the spoken version and if you happened upon this and have not read the book, don't wait another minute to get the life-changing benefits from this fantastic book.
