Cayce was a medical clairvoyant, psychic, and Christian mystic, who provided medical, psychological, and spiritual advice to thousands of people who swore by the effectiveness of his trance-based readings. He was not always a household name until a young, skeptical journalist named Thomas Sugrue met Cayce in 1927. The world had not yet heard of the "sleeping prophet." but with years of unique access, Sugrue completed his landmark biography, which on its publication in 1942 brought national attention to Cayce and stands as the only book written about Cayce during his lifetime.
