Book Reviews of There Is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce
Book Review: Comprehensive Edgar Cayce Biography
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
There are other Cayce biographies, all with their own merits. There is a River is a comprehensive, chronological biography. Edgar Cayce: The Sleeping Prophet describes Cayce through the topics of his readings, for example, a chapter on dream work. Edgar Cayce: Mystery Man of Miracles concentrates on Cayce's early years. [[ASIN:1573228966 Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet tells fascinating personal stories never before revealed about Cayce and the people around him.
I keep two copies of There is a River--one for myself and one to lend.
