Does anybody know of this book?

I was just in the library and it was on a table so I looked at it and noticed it has a lot of stuff on Jesus. Is it a demonic book?

[FONT=q_serif]The Urantia Papers or The Urantia Book.
It doesn't come from the Devil because it was not a spiritual channeling. Yes it is Biblical...
Urantia is the name of our world Earth, according to its celestial revelators; its meaning is here:
UBtheNews.com
There's advanced URANTIA science validated and confirmed by our science after URANTIA's publication in October, 1955, in English, in Chicago, U.S.
Where?:
Urantia News - Verifying History and Science in The Urantia Book (Urantia News: Verifying History and Science in The Urantia Book)
URANTIA is, according to its own authors (celestial invisible beings, commissioned to be revelators of its content), a divine/spiritual/celestial revelation of truth to/for us humans of this world. It's in the public domain since some years ago (2001), and it's online for free entire reading on several different independent websites.
It has 197 Papers including its 'Foreword' by the selfsame celestials, almost 2100 pages, and it is not a spiritual channeling, therefore it doesn't come from the Devil or other evil even iniquitous celestial personalities.
The best book on its origins and history is the most documented of them all (http://world-destiny.org (it's free online also: The Birth of a Divine Revelation---The Origin of The Urantia Papers)), although it doesn't cover all the items of its history. One can find them online, mainly on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestse...
Its official website:
Custodian and Publisher of The Urantia Book since 1955
This is part of what the authors of URANTIA affirm about itself on its pages 1007-1008, from paragraph 4 on:

[Paper 92:4.4, page 1007.4] There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance. These were as follows:​
[FONT=q_serif]
92:4.5 (1007.5) 1. The Dalamatian teachings. The true concept of the First Source and Center was first promulgated on Urantia by the one hundred corporeal members of Prince Caligastia’s staff. This expanding revelation of Deity went on for more than three hundred thousand years until it was suddenly terminated by the planetary secession and the disruption of the teaching regime. Except for the work of Van, the influence of the Dalamatian revelation was practically lost to the whole world. Even the Nodites had forgotten this truth by the time of Adam’s arrival. Of all who received the teachings of the one hundred, the red men held them longest, but the idea of the Great Spirit was but a hazy concept in Amerindian religion when contact with Christianity greatly clarified and strengthened it.
92:4.6 (1007.6) 2. The Edenic teachings. Adam and Eve again portrayed the concept of the Father of all to the evolutionary peoples. The disruption of the first Eden halted the course of the Adamic revelation before it had ever fully started. But the aborted teachings of Adam were carried on by the Sethite priests, and some of these truths have never been entirely lost to the world. The entire trend of Levantine religious evolution was modified by the teachings of the Sethites. But by 2500 B.C. mankind had largely lost sight of the revelation sponsored in the days of Eden.
92:4.7 (1007.7) 3. Melchizedek of Salem. This emergency Son of Nebadon inaugurated the third revelation of truth on Urantia. The cardinal precepts of his teachings were trust and faith. He taught trust in the omnipotent beneficence of God and proclaimed that faith was the act by which men earned God’s favor. His teachings gradually commingled with the beliefs and practices of various evolutionary religions and finally developed into those theologic systems present on Urantia at the opening of the first millennium after Christ.
92:4.8 (1008.1) 4. Jesus of Nazareth. Christ Michael presented for the fourth time to Urantia the concept of God as the Universal Father, and this teaching has generally persisted ever since. The essence of his teaching was love and service, the loving worship which a creature son voluntarily gives in recognition of, and response to, the loving ministry of God his Father; the freewill service which such creature sons bestow upon their brethren in the joyous realization that in this service they are likewise serving God the Father.
92:4.9 (1008.2) 5. The Urantia Papers. The papers, of which this is one, constitute the most recent presentation of truth to the mortals of Urantia. These papers differ from all previous revelations, for they are not the work of a single universe personality but a composite presentation by many beings. But no revelation short of the attainment of the Universal Father can ever be complete. All other celestial ministrations are no more than partial, transient, and practically adapted to local conditions in time and space. While such admissions as this may possibly detract from the immediate force and authority of all revelations, the time has arrived on Urantia when it is advisable to make such frank statements, even at the risk of weakening the future influence and authority of this, the most recent of the revelations of truth to the mortal races of Urantia.

A little over the third of URANTIA's content is about JESUS and it has more words than the Bible: a little over a million words.

You can read the Wikipedia information about this book. At best it looks to be a distraction from the truth found only in the scriptures. It seems to be the ramblings of someones subconscious mind. My advice is that you not spend any time on this and stick to the Bible.

It's a bunch of new age crap. Just because it talks about Jesus doesn't make it truth. The book if Mormon talks about Jesus and it's full of lies. As do other religious texts that are false.
And it's interesting this guy created an account just to push this book. Sounds odd.
