There is a River by Thomas Sugrue

This book is the biography of Edgar Cayce, America's famous medical intuitive. His clairvoyant powers came alive when he went into a sleeping state. In his lifetime he diagnosed and prescribed treatments for approximately 14,000 patients, including his own wife and son.

He himself found it hard to believe that his psychic powers were good and beneficial. As a person, Edgar Cayce was known as a particularly modest and down-to-earth man, a loving husband and devoted father to his children. Deeply religious, he doubted his gifts. As his life unfolded, many of these doubts disappeared, and he was at one time running a large hospital in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The hospital has been rebuilt today and is run by the organization Cayce founded, the Association for Research and Enlightenment.
