Mr. Kirkpatrick has done a masterful job with this, the latest and best biography of Edgar Cayce. As I read through the comments posted here, I noticed one that implies this book is 'pointless' -- How sad that the writer felt compelled to comment, in spite of the fact that he has not obviously bothered to read the book, and knows nothing about Edgar Cayce's work.

I'm not sure why I checked this book out from the local library, but I'm sure glad that I did. Although a religious person, I never had a strong opinion about psychics and mediums. This book opened my eyes. Edgar Cayce was the real deal, and his "readings" are important documents. This book should be read by anyone who values religion and/or spirituality. The contents are, at times, controversial. Even if you don't believe everything that Cayce revealed, you'll still find it fasc...more
Excellent book!! Very indepth book about his life. I never knew who he was and this book told it all beginning from his childhood to all his challenges as an adult. A lot about his work going into trances and helping other people. I will read it again and again.
Very intense. Should be read with an open mind. Cayce's life was certainly fascinating and unique. There is a lot of questioning the reader will do when reading this book.
it is a great book to read, I live in Japan and just received this book yesterday, now enjoying reading it so much

Although this book is very detailed and lengthy, the author still makes it very readable and enjoyable. Highly recommend.
A very intriguing person to say the least. Through Edgar we all can unlock powers within.
I had never heard of Edgar Cayce before I read his biography. I'm not sure how I ended up reading this book but I'm glad I did. What an interesting life this man had.

Remarkable!
A timely addition to the biographies of Edgar Cayce, the foremost American psychic. The older books were written without the sharp research and unflinching look at even some of the less appealing aspects of character and history. Sidney Kirkpatrick does a great job of helping us to see into the life, motivation and experiences of Edgar Cayce.
This man was truly amazing. Very very interesting biography and written very well, not dry.
Wow!...so far.

Books and book publishing have long been an important part of life in the Kirkpatrick family. My grandfather and namesake was a senior editor at McGraw-Hill for thirty-five years. My mother, Audrey Kirkpatrick, was a short story writer, and studied under Vladimir Nabokov at Cornell University. Katherine Kirkpatrick, my younger sister, is a former book editor at Macmillan and the author of five his...more
