“Of The Urantia Book, Mr. Covey said, "I've read it several times, the first time about 25 years ago. As you suggested, it is a tremendously insightful book and [I] still find it very interesting.”

Shroud of Turin Report: UB Brings New Life To Debate!

Striking correlations (not corroborations) exist between the Shroud of Turin and The Urantia Book's statements about what happened to Jesus' body. Given all the reports now published on UBtheNEWS, if anything, the UB gives more credibility to the Shroud of Turin than the other way around.

Sharing the UB and UBtheNEWS

The Thrilling Adventure
Calling all thrill-seekers: Here's a new thrill you just have to try!

Halbert Katzen's Trail Tales

In January 2007 I hit the road in a small motor home to promote and develop UBtheNEWS. Naturally, the idea was to head south immediately and keep heading south until I reached Tucson, AZ. This "sign of the times" appeared on the first leg of my journey. New Trail Tales installments are posted about once a week. This is where the balance comes in between writing rather dry reports on the developing scientific corroborations of information in The Urantia Book with conjuring up rather wet editorials about my unfolding personal adventures on the road. Enjoy!

4/30/08:  Lynn and Jim Wheeler hosted a UBtheNEWS presentation and took full advantage of this opportunity to introduce people in their community to the The Urantia Book. Of the two-dozen people in attendance, nine of them were new to the book! This was the first group to learn about the newly published Shroud of Turin Report. The event was videoed by Prof. Lyone Fein. This is the second semester that I have presented to her World Religions class. Read More...
