The monumental story of the life, the prophecies, and the astounding medical "readings" of America's greatest mystic.

During the years 1904-1910, young Edgar Cayce became aware that he was the possessor of a marvelous gift of healing. Based on intensive research of the Cayce archives and the assistance of Cayce's family, this book has the immediacy of a compelling novel.

In this account of reincarnation and its influence on human nature, Stearn examines the seven lives of America's foremost mystic, Edgar Cayce--recounting his stages of development, his struggle to master his carnal urges, and his connection with the companions he has known over time, reincarnated into the 20th century.
