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

"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." -- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, Bantam, 1994

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

From the Back Cover
The astounding true story of Edgar Cayce, his remarkable prophecies, insights into the soul, and the medical cures he prescribed while in trance, told by the only writer who knew and investigated him while he lived.

About the Author
Thomas Sugrue graduated from Washington and Lee University with Hugh Lynn Cayce, Edgar Cayce’s son. He became a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune and, later, joined the staff at American Magazine. In 1940, his first book, Such Is the Kingdom, was published, followed later by Starling of the White House. At one point in his life , he was struck by a disease that left him partially paralyzed and with little chance of survival. However, he later recovered well enough to become an active swimmer, an improvement due, he believed, to following the readings he received from Edgar Cayce.

Customer Reviews

This is NOT Sugrue's Original Book. . .
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.

If you can only afford one book on Edgar Cayce...
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.

The River of Love flows to us all; experience this book.

Once awakened, you can never go back to the way you were. This book is an introduction to a man, his family, his life, but greater, the soul's journey through time. It's your journey. Read it
