Edgar Cayce, the benchmark of all knowledge
Quote from book - "The Life readings were to be especially guarded, as they were considered more personal and revealing than physical diagnoses. `Nobody is interested in your kidneys' Edgar observed, `but everyone is interested in your past lives'"

The story of Edgar Cayce often described as being `The Sleeping Prophet' is hard to believe to tell the truth. In normal waking state Edgar was a relatively simple God-fearing man who had a family, a job as a photographer and also read the bible cover to cover for each year of his life. Then under hypnosis Edgar had abilities to this day that are impossible to surpass. In this trance-like state Edgar would give `readings' as they are commonly referred to (over 14,000 in all) which could yield medical diagnoses and treatments that improved the lives of thousands of people, but his readings also yielded information about transcendental realms that could be utilized in present life by millions.

Thomas Sugrue knew the Cayce family very well and so I don't think there is any book that capsulated Edgar Cayce's life as this one does. There are over 1 million copies of `There Is A River' in print and I'm so glad of this fact.

I would not want to ruin the grandeur of the Edgar Cayce story by giving anything away, its quite a large book at 376 pages which includes a fascinating philosophy at the end of Edgar's story and 6 case histories illustrating the methodology of the E.C. readings. This book is so hard to put down, and I give it the highest possible recommendation for others to read and have a fascinating insight into Edgar's life and his readings. Lend it to as many people as you can, I'm buying six copies for friends and family. Enough said.

Its the most readable and complete life story of Cayce
Many of the thousands of members of the Association of Research and Enlightenment were brought in through this book. As the Venture Inward magazine says: Cayce believers are not a cult...its a group of thousands of seekers! As a young boy, Cayce prayed to an angel that he wanted to help people, especially children. His life story is breathtaking and timeless, moving and mind expanding. Even if you don't think you like metaphysics, its a good read! Linda Schiller-Hanna

The Story of Edgar Cayce
I recommend this book to everybody as a reminder that there are more things in heaven and earth than we could ever know - to believers (of organised religion or otherwise) and non-beievers alike. The great gift that this gentle, god-fearing, unassuming man possesed was truly inspirational, and the numerous accounts of this gift in action makes it hard to be dismissive, and too simplistic to label him a phoney or an 'evil trickster'. It seems to me Cayce was a vessel through which a powerful force for good worked, imparting great knowledge that even he himself couldn't understand. I first read this book several years ago and some of its details are no longer fresh in my mind, so I'm not going to say much more here. But I remember how it impressed me and how I resolved to buy a copy of my own some day, which I've just done (finally). I'm looking forward to reading it again, and other Cayce books. Recommended.
