It is acceptable, even desirable to point out apparent flaws in The Urantia Book, but in fairness, any reviewer should also point out the value of this book to those seeking to establish a relationship with God. Despite any real or imagined flaws Gardner points out in this book, I can say along with a host of others that this book persuaded me to think about my relationship with God like nothing else I have ever experienced. What is more important to our spiritual lives than finding God? The Urantia Book admonishes us to distinguish between that which has value from that which is value. This book has the value of leading us to God, who is the ultimate source of not only that which has value but even of that which is value.
