Milliron Monday: The Urantia Book 3 16 2020

Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010

Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and  Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire. 

A veterinarian is exposed to life, death, miracles, long-suffering – all the effects of life – every day. For Dr. Smith, he was curious about the heavens and the afterlife; he knew it was real.

In his lifetime, he came upon and was fascinated with The Urantia Book, a book said to have been written (or at least in part) by the Archangel Gabriel. Dr. Smith’s widow, Jody, said they read the book together at their kitchen table daily. They read it several times cover to cover. The couple would contemplate and discuss each chapter. “The Urantia Book has the most beautiful description of Jesus,” Jody said.

Here, The Urantia Foundation, provides a description of The Urantia Book
The Urantia Book, first published by Urantia Foundation in 1955, presents us with the origin, history, and destiny of humanity. It answers questions about God, life in the inhabited universe, the history and future of this world, and it includes an uplifting narrative of the life and teachings of Jesus.
The Urantia Book portrays our relationship with God the Father. All human beings are the sons and daughters of a loving God and therefore brothers and sisters in the family of God. The book provides new spiritual truth for modern men and women and a pathway to 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. It also describes God’s plan for the progressive evolution of individuals, human society, and the universe as a whole.
Many people around the world have said that reading The Urantia Book has profoundly inspired them to reach deeper levels of spiritual growth. It has given them new meaning to life and the desire to be of service to humanity.
We encourage you to read it as well and discover for yourself its ennobling message.
Personally, I had never heard of The Urantia Book until I met Jody. Now I have my own copy and read it often. I find the book inspiring and motivating. I hope you will take the time to read it with an open mind. Let me know your thoughts about the book.

Stay well.

Through captivating, powerful, and emotional anecdotes, we celebrate the life of Dr. Abbott P. Smith. His biography takes the reader from smiles to laughter to empathy and tears. Dr. Smith gave us compelling lessons learned from animals; the role animals play in the human condition, the joy of loving an animal, and the awe of their spirituality. A tender and profound look into the life of a skilled veterinarian.
