There Is a River

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) is known to millions today as the grandfather of the New Age. A medical clairvoyant, psychic and Christian mystic, he provided medical, psychological and spiritual advice to thousands of people who swore by the effectiveness of his trance-based readings. But he was not always a household name. When a young, sceptical journalist named Thomas Sugrue first met him, in 1927, the world had not yet heard of 'the sleeping prophet'. During years of unique access, Sugrue completed his landmark biography, which, on its first publication in 1942, brought national attention to Cayce and stands as the sole record written during the seer's lifetime. This edition includes a new introduction, which highlights the enduring meaning of Cayce's message.
