The book's description started with "The world is in need of a larger, enhanced vision of God's truth…" Being a strong Christian, this hook prompted me to sign up for the giveaway. Had I been in a bookstore or had the opportunity to peruse a sample chapter of this book, I never would have brought it home. But since I won it on Goodreads, I have an understood obligation to read and review it.

That being said, a chain of events transpired. I received the book along with a personal note from the author—a nice touch. The book was autographed by the author—another nice touch. The cover art was well done—it almost depicted a vision of what Zion might look like. But then I noticed the subtle orbs and solar systems, galaxies, and heavenly bodies that dominated the view. I began to wonder…

I opened the book to find this description, The Book of Ernest [a revelation, a miracle, and a man] by Ernest Clement. I quickly read the Acknowledgement and Preface and moved on to the Introduction, when there it was—the source of the book—The Urantia Book and A Course in Miracles. NEW AGE religion screamed a stern warning!

My first thought was to mail the book back to the author. Since I know how hard and time-consuming it is to write a book, I reasoned that mailing the book back was an inappropriate thing to do. Ernest Clement obviously put his heart and soul into the writing of his 382-page book that took fourteen years to write. After much soul-searching and prayer, I decided to give the author his respect due and read the book. But to be honest, I had to quit reading it on page 31. I wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt but when he quoted an excerpt from The Urantia Book, my spirit cried out another warning!

In the first 31 pages of this book, I felt like I was reading some science fiction novel written by Edward R. Murrow. Talk of the Universe Urantia, Nebadon, Havona, the Sacred Spheres of Paradise, Orvonton, the Seven Master Spirits, and approximately one trillion inhabitable worlds with such unequivocal authority, left me feeling quite uneasy. You see, although I have never heard of The Urantia Book, I have read A Course in Miracles (ACiM.) I am well aware of what it is all about after having spent several months attending weekly ACiM gatherings in people's homes just for knowledge's sake.

But when I read this referenced quote from The Urantia Book, "I portray the reality and truth of the Father's nature and attributes with unchallengeable authority; I know whereof I speak," I had to put the book down. After doing some research, I found that no one knows who wrote The Urantia Book and all its combined papers. IF it is to be held with such strict authority, and is so infallible and exact, why is it that the author and/or authors found the need to remain anonymous? Does science know anything of the just mentioned sacred spheres and one trillion inhabitable worlds? While The Holy Bible may leave some people questioning its authority and chain of events, it was written by multiple named authors, incidents were verified by more than one person, and science continually unearths physical artifacts to prove its truth. Where is the reality and truth of Urantia, Nebadon, Havona, Orvonton, Satania, and all the superuniverses spoken of with such jurisdiction in The Book of Ernest?

To be fair, after a couple of weeks I decided to keep reading. I made it up to page 86 and skim-read other parts of the book but just couldn't finish it. In those pages I was told that I am a descendant of twin primates who "suddenly gave birth to the first two human beings," and was told of celestial incarnates and the "surgical infusion of life plasm." Really? Has science ever been able to prove evolution? I'm sorry—if man had "evolved" from primates they would not exist anymore because they would have evolved. You know—survival of the fittest and all that. While I do not believe in evolution and never will in the Darwin-sense, nor has science ever been able to prove it, I am not here to start an evolutionary debate.

Reading about "our history" given through such explicit accounting of 900 billion, 400 billion, 200 billion, 6 billion, 4 and half billion, one billion, and 550 million years ago detail, left me wanting to pick up the phone and call in a life line. Where is any of this proven in history? And to say that we are "world number 606 in our system of Satania, which will have 1000 worlds," to say that "why our world is not divisible by 10 is left 'unexplained'", and that "man's missing link is left 'unsaid'", left me thinking that all this explicit detail is indeed quite inexplicable. How this book can break "our history" down to some exact number such as "There are exactly 21 billion Counselors, three billion for each superuniverse" and then use such words as "unexplained," "unsaid," "destiny yet unrevealed," "suddenly," "just happened," and "subject to speculation," is beyond me.

If you are into mortal ascenders, Perfecters of Wisdom, Universal Censors, Thought Adjusters, midwayers, the Corps of Mortal Finaliters, and transcending into Salvington, "the next level of universe administration in the minor sector of the superuniverse, consisting of 100 local universes" while on your way from minor sector Ensa to major sector Splandon—all in the name of non-fiction—perhaps this is the book for you. As for me, I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and that the Bible is the true inerrant Word of God. [Rev. 19:9] But then, that's my God-given right. Isn't free will marvelous?(less)
