The world needs new spiritual truth that provides modern men and women with an intellectual pathway into a personal relationship with God. Building on the world's religious heritage, The Urantia Book describes an endless destiny for humankind, teaching that living faith is the key to personal spiritual progress and eternal survival. These teachings provide new truths powerful enough to uplift and advance human thinking and believing for the next 1000 years.
A third of The Urantia Book is the inspiring story of Jesus’ entire life and a revelation of his original teachings. This panoramic narrative includes his birth, childhood, teenage years, adult travels and adventures, public ministry, crucifixion, and 19 resurrection appearances. This inspiring story recasts Jesus from the leading figure of Christianity into the guide for seekers of all faiths and all walks of life.
Surprised by Hope invites readers to rethink the common understanding of heaven, the resurrection, and the mission of the Church. In this thought-provoking exploration, renowned author and Anglican bishop N.T. Wright tackles the profound biblical question of what truly happens after we die.
Contrary to popular belief, we do not simply "go to" heaven. Instead, we are resurrected, and heaven comes down to earth—an insight that fundamentally alters how we live our lives here and now. This book challenges Christians to reconsider their expectations about life after death and to understand the resurrection as the cornerstone of their faith.
Wright passionately argues that if God intends to renew the entire creation—and if this renewal has already begun with Jesus's resurrection—then the Church must move beyond merely "saving souls." We are called to work towards God's kingdom in the present world, bringing healing and hope to our lives today.
This lively and accessible book will surprise and excite anyone interested in the meaning of life, both after death and in the here and now.
