     I came to hear about the Urantia Book from one of a good friend. He used to read some selected quotes from the same book for me. This usually used to happen whenever I visited him and when he visited me.
     Gradually, I developed interest in knowing more about the book (Urantia Book), because the same selected quotes made me to think more about a lot of things which affect our daily lives as individuals and as human beings generally.
     Moreover, the great news was that this same friend (Chita Nonde) received the Urantia Book in February 2003 year, making our study of it more exciting and interesting. I am also therefore, looking forward to having a personal copy of the Urantia Book and relevant study Aids, so that whenever we meet together we can discuss certain topics that are of interest and need to us.
     A wonderful, great thing, the Urantia Book!

     In June 2000 to 31st March 2001, a friend of mine started writing letters to me. From November 2000 to March 2001, he almost wrote to me on a daily basis.
     Early 2001, he told me of a big book in the library, unfortunately some pages of the book were missing. One day he showed me the book and I sat down to go through it. Having checked the contents, I went straight to paper 90 "Shamanism - Medicine men and Priests". This paper was of interest to me because of my uncertainties on diseases. Later on, I came across familiar words such as Melchizedek, Adam and Eve, which led to other findings such as origin and nature of Thought Adjusters, Midway creatures, the seven mansion worlds, personality survival and many more.
     When I went to school (2002) in another city (Kitwe), I came across the Urantia Book in the school library. The great thing was that the book could be borrowed unlike the one at home (in Ndola) for it is in the reference section. It was great joy to discover the Jesus papers, 120 to 128 which were missing in the other Urantia Book (in Ndola).
     I have not finished reading the entire book, but whilst reading I always rejoice to come across the statement my friend (Chita Nonde) wrote in his letters. The more I read the book, the more I come across the statements in the letters. Its also some kind of an adventure.
     It is so wonderful to be set free, free from the fetters of fear, doctrines, religion, ecstasy, taboos and all those things that distract spiritual progress. I look forward to that time our universe will be settled in light and life and the attainment of the supreme.

     I discovered the Urantia Book in Ndola Public Library in 1998. I used to go in the morning 09:00 am to 14:30 PM. During the study breaks, I used to read, religion, philosophy, psychology, theology, science, music, art, information and quotations books (proverbs etc.) and all other related book. I finished the music shelf and the religion section, books I read included bible commentaries (I have some even at home, I also discovered them).
     I always skipped the Urantia Book, because of the word URANTIA, I could not first pronounce and did not relate to anything. However, it was the unread book on the shelf. One day I took it, looked at the contents. I was especially moved by the titles. The Central and Supper Universe, the Local Universe and the History of Urantia. The life and teachings of Jesus did not click to my mind.
     I opened and read the 'half' detailed titles, i.e., sponsored by the Uvera Corps, then to the foreword, only to discover the ever confusing word DEITY and DIVINITY explained clearly though I did not understand there and then but somehow it calmed my confusion of theology and philosophy. I was happy and continued on wards, and learnt the term Urantia and partially Nebadon and Orvonton.
     Every study break when I went for my study and after was dedicated to reading the Urantia Book and now things were becoming clear and my mind free, though I used to hide or cover the book when reading I did not want people to see what I was reading for I knew they could not understand, I did not realize how my mind was expanding, concepts, perception on life changed as I advanced though understood not. It was later that I was able to offer explanations to my decisions and actions what that the Urantia Book has done, even though I have been different all my life even in childhood.
     One day I flipped a lot of pages, then found The Life and Teaching of Jesus. I began reading and it was every day on and on. It was more interesting though it had missing pages of the childhood of Je
