This book -- which contains many photos of Edgar Cayce, his family, and close friends -- is the complete, original biography of the best-documented psychic in America. It tells the story of how he discovered his astounding psychic gifts and what led him to a life dedicated to helping others.

This is NOT Sugrue's Original Book. . .,
By A Perceptive Lady from Temecula, California (Temecula, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: There Is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce [With CDROM and DVD] (Audio CD)
This is a review of the audio CDs. Thomas Sugrue knew Edgar Cayce, his family and associates intimately and wrote There is a River in the 1940s. This is no dreary summary or chronological review of his life. It follows Cayce from childhood to the end of his life with sympathy, feeling and forthrightness. Much of the dialogue has obviously been surmised but makes the book come vividly alive. Cayce's life was inspirational but also tragic in many respects. His life and work has been trivialized, ridiculed and demonized by the various factions of the self-righteous. Antithetically, some devotees have unfortunately tried to make a religion out of Cayce's readings, which was never his intent. He was principally concerned with assisting others, with healing and providing answers to the philosophical question "why are we here?" Some took advantage of him and tried to lead him where he did not want to go. There is much of value in his legacy and it should be required curriculum for anyone interested in metaphysics. Often we are left with more questions than answers but searching for, and choosing between, answers is what an active mind and spirit thrives on. The readers' voices are pleasant and clear to the ear. The set is well worth replaying after a year or two.A Search for God Anniversary Edition

For Every Edgar Cayce Student,
By A Customer
This review is from: There is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce (Paperback)
I have read 7 of Edgar Cayce's books, this is my 8th. I told myself that I wouldn't read anymore Egar Cayce books until I've read his life story. I'm still reading Edgar Cayce books after reading, "There is a River..." and now I appreciate his books much more now that I know who the individual is. This book is very in depth, but there are some questions that I have that remain unanswered about his life. Perhaps I'll get more info from the book, "Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet". What I love about Mr. Cayce is that through the whole book, no matter how much fame he got, or how many people looked up to him, he always stayed humble and close to the Bible, which says a lot compared to some psychics that become arrogant just because they have stronger psychic ability than most people. He used his ability not to get rich, but to help people even though he was poor himself. God bless is soul!
