Gerald Jampolsky, M.D., author of Love Is Letting Go of Fear
" . . . a classic and a must for all those who desire to expand and honor their heart."

Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, Bantam, 1994
"The story of Edgar Cayce has inspired me from the time I was 12 years old. As one of the first well-studied medical intuitives, his work and his life helped blaze the path for the future of medicine."

Dr. Richard H. Drummond, Emeritus Professor of Comparative Religion, University of Dubuque Theological Seminary
"This biography of Edgar Cayce, Southern Presbyterian mystic and clairvoyant, has become a nineteenth-century classic in the history of Christian spirituality."

Customer Reviews

Religion vs Spirituality
Other than Emanuel Swedenborg, there are not many people who have as interesting a life story as Edgar Cayce. Both had conflicts between their religious upbringing and the "gift" they were given.

Even today people still have a hard time with clairvoyance...imagine how hard it must have been to have published this book over 60 years ago.

This is a great book about an ordinary guy with extraordinary abilities. The stories about some of his medical evaluations and treatments are not to be missed.

Life changed
I've glanced at some of the other reviews, and I see that the book gets mixed reviews. I can only say what it did for me. It changed my life, because it shifted how I view life. It motivated me to read other books that further convinced me that Edgar Cayce was right on. Personally, I enjoyed reading the book. I don't read many books more than once, but I enjoyed re-reading this one. I saw in it a man of unwavering honesty and steadfast ethics. Because of this I found him to be exceptionally credible. This is why I was shaken from my comfortable 20-year mindset. This book gets my nod of approval.

Beyond Enlightenment
Edgar Cayce is one of the most interesting people that I have ever read about. I have read many books on Edgar Cayce; "There Is A River" is by far the best book I have ever read on the life and times of this exordinary man and his phenomenal abilities. I highly recommend this book to all those who seek universal knowledge and enlightenment.
