Why people recommend it

The Urantia Book Workbooks by William Sadler is a massive, two-thousand-page work first published officially in 1955 that serves as a prime example of prophecy categorized as direct speech. The publication was discussed on episodes of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know and Behind the Bastards in late 2022. The host of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know introduced the work as a key inspiration for Mo Siegel, the co-founder of Celestial Seasonings, while noting that there is considerable speculation regarding its true authorship. Meanwhile, Robert Evans described William Sadler on Behind the Bastards as a popular debunker of figures he labeled as charlatans and frauds. Evans argued that Sadler's primary motivation was not necessarily that these individuals were taking advantage of people, but rather that they were achieving fame and financial success from their endeavors while he was not, which contextualized Sadler's involvement with the controversial automatic-writing phenomenon and the subsequent distribution of the massive text.
