Miami Book Fair International

Printer-friendly version

Numerous people were exposed to The Urantia Book as a result of Urantia Foundation's booth at the Miami Book Fair International, the largest outdoor book fair in the United States. This was a cooperative effort between Florida Students of The Urantia Book, Florida Urantia Association, and Urantia Foundation. There was tremendous interest from Miami's Spanish speaking population, with most of the books distributed during the three-day fair being copies of El libro de Urantia. Many had heard of The Urantia Book through friends or relatives and this was an opportunity for them to explore the book for themselves. A couple of French books were purchased by Haitian-Americans, and several English books and Thought Gems calendars were purchased. Two bookstores ordered·copies of English and Spanish books during the book fair, so there are now two more places where Miami truth-seekers may encounter The Urantia Book on bookstore shelves.
