Edgar Cayce, the benchmark of all knowledge - By: David Langley, 07 Jul 2006 
Quote from book - "The Life readings were to be especially guarded, as they were considered more personal & revealing than physical diagnoses. `Nobody is interestedin your kidneys' Edgar observed, `but everyone is interestedin 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 & 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 14,000in all) which could yield medical diagnoses & treatments that improved the lives of thousands of people, but his readings also yielded information about transcendental realms that could be utilizedin present life by millions.
Thomas Sugrue knew the Cayce family very well & 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 & 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 & 6 case histories illustrating the methodology of the E.C. readings. This book is so hard to put down, & I give it the highest possible recommendation for others to read & have a fascinating insight into Edgar's life & his readings. Lend it to as many people as you can, I'm buying six copies for friends & family. Enough said.
The Story of Edgar Cayce - By: , 24 Sep 2002 
I recommend this book to everybody as a reminder that there are more thingsin heaven & earth than we could ever know - to believers (of organised religion or otherwise) & non-beievers alike. The great gift that this gentle, god-fearing, unassuming man possesed was truly inspirational, & the numerous accounts of this giftin action makes it hard to be dismissive, & 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 & some of its details are no longer freshin my mind, so I'm not going to say much more here. But I remember how it impressed me & 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, & other Cayce books. Recommended.
Incredible, and thank God it's been written. - By: , 03 Apr 1999 This book is Great. It explains so much. From the Agnostic, who wonders why so many religions flourish to the committed of other religions, this book will help put together some of the un-answered questions..."generations to come will scarce believe that one such as he everin flesh & blood walked the Earth" -Einstein (about Ghandi). Now one can understand (And Believe) why so many unfair things seem to happen. This is the type of book that can change a person's life....For the better....and give Peace.
A life-changing book - By: , 26 Mar 1999 How many times have you heard the overused term "life-changing," usually used to describe decidedly non-life-changing things?
Well, this book is an exception. This biography is the first step to understanding Edgar Cayce: who he was, & the ageless wisdom he left for us. Cayce was "tapped in" to the universal river of knowledge. The lessons here will always remain valid, for they come from God.
After reading this book, read Edgar Cayce's Story of Jesus, Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation, Edgar Cayce on Atlantis, & the others. To continue your studies (and expand your perceptions even further), read Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity Of The Soul. I feel that these books, along with the Holy Bible, are the best books you can read.
Best book I've ever read in my life: - By: , 07 Nov 1998 If.....I could afford it, I would buy this for all my friends, & If they would just read up to the first 2 chapters--I'll bet they could not set it down: ---- One problem, it's not this eddition, it's the older one (& there is a difference), the older one is about 2" thick: If any one knows where I could get that one please let me know. OOMI@webtv.net Thanks (W. Jay)P.S. If you buy it, don't like it, I'll buy it from you.
