Excerpt from a letter: "All my life, as far back as I can recall, I wanted to know the why, the whence, and the whither of life, and Urantia gave it to me so beautifully and convincingly. The Bible gave me a hope. Urantia has made my hope blossom into a certainty. And the life and teachings of Jesus, as narrated in Urantia -- there is nothing in the world to compare it with!"

James C. Mills
Vice President
