Summary: For Every Edgar Cayce Student
Review: I have read 7 of Edgar Cayce's books, this is my 8th. I told myself that I wouldn't read anymore Egar Cayce books until I've read his life story. I'm still reading Edgar Cayce books after reading, "There is a River..." and now I appreciate his books much more now that I know who the individual is. This book is very in depth, but there are some questions that I have that remain unanswered about his life. Perhaps I'll get more info from the book, "Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet". What I love about Mr. Cayce is that through the whole book, no matter how much fame he got, or how many people looked up to him, he always stayed humble and close to the Bible, which says a lot compared to some psychics that become arrogant just because they have stronger psychic ability than most people. He used his ability not to get rich, but to help people even though he was poor himself. God bless is soul!

Summary: There was once a Remarkable Man . . .
Review: I have read many biographies on Cayce, but this is one of the few in which the author actually knew Cayce. It is really a testament to the man's abilities - he had psychic powers that have yet to be matched. One of the things to be learned is that Cayce refused to charge for his services - he really did see his gift as something to help mankind. A fascinating note re: the author - Sugrue suffered badly from a chronic condition. Cayce actually did a reading, telling him what to do to cure it. Sugrue followed what Cayce said for a while, but then stopped, resorting to the common medical treatment for the time. Unfortunately, he died. A true irony for the author who honored Cayce in this wonderful biography.

Summary: What an uplifting book and an inspirational man, Edgar.
Review: I was turned onto this book while living in Clearwater about 25 or so years ago (1972-3) by one of the most spiritual persons I've ever known. It was helpful to me then, and it is so thrilling and enlightening to be reading it again. This book is ageless and the information shared is for all. You can't help but grow in knowledge and wisdom from reading this book. As above, so below.

Summary: If you can only afford one book on Edgar Cayce...
Review: If you can only afford one book on Edgar Cayce, then this is the one to purchase. I have read every book in the library on the sleeping prophet. This book was publishing orignally in the 1940's and is written by a person who actually knew Edgar Cayce.This book provides a history of Mr. Cayce from birth to death and provides the essentials for understanding who, what, when, and where of the sleeping prophet. Once you have that basic history of the man, then you can more easily concentrate other areas that he addressed such as healing, Atlantis, Egyptians, prophecy, etc.

Summary: This is NOT Sugrue's Original Book. . .
Review: In the mid-sixties I bought a paperback called "There is a River" by Thomas Sugrue. I believe he wrote it in the 1940s. Reading this book as many times as I had, inspired me to form a metaphysical study group at a Chicago area public library that lasted until the early 70s. During that time we became local "experts" on Cayce and everything he wrote. Today, the interpretations of his readings and writings have changed - and that's not a good thing. At a bookstore recently, I sat down and studied this edition for a few hours and I regret to say that this updated version has been modified and changed to the degree that it has altered Sugrue's original and authentic insights into the Cayce he knew personally. I'm grateful that I had learned about Cayce when his sons were still in control of publications coming out of A.R.E. in Virginia Beach. Things have changed over the years and whomever is in control today seems to be turning a once benevolent institution into a for-profit book selling organization in the name of Edgar Cayce. I would recommend for anyone who has a sincere interest in learning from one of the original and genuine interpretations of Cayce's readings, to forego this edition and search for the original "There is a River" by Thomas Sugrue - who knew him personally.

Summary: Its the most readable and complete life story of Cayce
Review: 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
