If you can only afford one book on Edgar Cayce… by A Reader (Remsen, NY USA)

“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. “

“This is the first book on Edgar Cayce I read. It opened up a whole new, wonderful, and fascinating world for me.
I loved to read of how Cayce, as a child, played with ghostly little children only he could see. Cayce must have been such a strange child, making his lean-to in the woods and reading his Bible all by himself. No wonder his extended family members called him, “Old Man.”
The book shows how difficult it must have been to be such an unusual person. It describes Edgar’s fears that the information coming through him might hurt someone. I love the story of how he sat with his finger on a passage in the Bible in the dark until the sun came up. The words his finger pointed to were, “There is a River” from Psalm 46. As a result of reading the psalm, which describes God’s strength in helping us, Cayce felt secure about using his special gifts to help others.
Although I first read the book years ago (A.R.E. Press has reprinted a new edition), I still refer to it. My favorite part is the philosophy section at the back of the book which summarizes Cayce’s trance source’s understanding of who we really are and our place in the universe.
If you look up Cayce’s readings (available to members of Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. online), you’ll discover some readings for Thomas Sugrue, the author of There is a River. The purpose of some of these Thomas Sugrue psychic readings appear to be to clarify concepts in the book. This means that concepts in the book were verified and clarified by Cayce’s trance source.”

“If you’ve ever wondered “Who is Edgar Cayce?”, then I suggest in reading this book! It is the story of Edgars’ life from his beginings. I learned so much, infact he is the real deal. Edgar was leery of his ability to “see into the unseen” and worried if possibly his gift was not a gift at all but a tool of the devil ment for evil purposes.
It wasn’t till he knew for a fact that his “gift” was helping people all over the world that he felt comfortable and ready to give with out reservations. Also it’s easy reading except I had a hard time understanding the “readings” and would have to re read them. Other wise, Easy enjoyable reading.”
