About the author
Born in Spencer, Indiana, in 1875, William S. Sadler built a varied career as a physician, surgeon, lecturer, and author. He studied at several institutions, including Battle Creek College, Moody Bible Institute, and Rush Medical College, and went on to practice medicine in Chicago for many years.
Sadler wrote extensively for a broad audience, especially on health, mental habits, religion, and everyday self-improvement. His books aimed to make complex subjects approachable, which helped him become a well-known public speaker as well as an author.
He is also a notable figure in the story behind The Urantia Book. Accounts of his life consistently link him to the group through which the book emerged, making him an important — and sometimes controversial — part of its history. He died in 1969.
