Review
"Perhaps Mr. Stearn's greatest achievement . . . is that he has given his subject such universality. The reader is left with the firm conviction, not that Edgar Cayce was a unique 'odd-man-out,' but that he spoke for the sleeping prophet that lies dormant in every human being." -- Noel Langley

The life and story of Edgar Cayce is one of the most compelling in metaphysical literature. For more than forty years, the "Sleeping Prophet" closed his eyes, entered into an altered state of consciousness, and spoke to the very heart and spirit of humankind on subjects such as health, healing, dreams, prophecy, meditation, and reincarnation. Now in a 30th Anniversary Special Edition printing, Edgar Cayce: The Sleeping Prophet is a fascinating biography that will hold the reader spellbound and leaving him or her in wonder at the the potential of humankind. -- Midwest Book Review

From the Back Cover
Dare we believe in prophecies? A native of Kentucky with a ninth grade education, Edgar Cayce accurately predicted two world wars, including the years they began and ended, racial strife in America, the death of John F. Kennedy and hundreds of other recorded events. He could apparently travel in time and space to treat the ill, and dispense information that led to innumerable cures where traditional medicine was useless. The first to introduce many Americans to the concept of reincarnation, Cayce drew on a subconscious Universal Mind for starting information about past and future. In The Sleeping Prophet, Jess Stearn presents the extraordinary story of Cayce's life, his healings, his prophecies, and his powerful legacy.

About the Author

An Excellent Book
This is a most excellent and an extremely eye-opening book! If you want to grow spiritually, please read this book as soon as possible, and, by all means, share it with many others!!!

This book changed my life when I was 16 years old.
It opened doors for me I never knew existed. I knew why I had been born in this day & age. It gave me hope for the future in spite of the trauma that lies ahead of us. I buy this book for everyone I love.

Interesting!
This was a very, very interesting read. I caught a Cayce special on A&E and became interested. After looking around, this book seemed to contain the most information. It's a great collection from early life until death and even contains some medical readings and advice.

I will admit that going back and trying to find something is very difficult b/c the chapters are long and there is no index. For more specific medical advice and categorizing I bought The Edgar Cayce Encylcopedia of Healing.
