Good writing, but bad research
While I appreciated the story, it was well done and very readable. I am also seventh generation Mormon and she did not do enough research to get her facts straight. The whole premise that the Mormons drank tea by the gallons and yet didn't believe in Dr's and medicine is erroneous. Brigham Young sent and the church paid for women to go back East to become Dr's so that they could then come back and educate others. Medicine and education was important to them then and to us now. And we don't drink tea. The temple was not used as a wagon maker's shop. Nauvoo wasn't so lucky as to be able to "plan" their exodus. They left in the middle of winter across a frozen river, chased by mobs, their feet bloodied by the stubble of the fields. Elders aren't just the "old" men, neither then nor now, and a "Deacon" isn't exactly high up in the hierarchy. Those were only a few of the falsehoods I found. A bit of time spent in research would have made this a better book but then it would also have changed the story completely. A well told story based on false information isn't really much of a story is it?

Wow
I absolutly adored this book!!! It is a book dwelling on the powers of love and an indavidual's belifs. In the book, Coery is being forced to marry a man she does not know because her father is going away to fight a war. Her mother died when Corey was young. Along the way in this book, Corey falls in love with her betrothed Ethan. I give this book five stars for sheer ingenuity and class. I'm going to hunt down this book and add it to my personal library. enjoy this book as I have. ^_^

Edgar Cayce in Context: The Readings: Truth and Fiction (Suny Series in Western Esoteric Traditions)

Unbiased Assessment Of The Cayce Readings
One of the goals of this book is to determine if the information provided in the Cayce psychic readings could have been obtained by Cayce from conventional sources such as books or contact with other people. Also the accuracy of the psychic info is examined.

The general conclusion as I understand it is that Cayce had little interest in reading about esoteric subjects in his normal (non trance) life. In any case he wasn't that much of an intellectual. So there is very little verifiable evidence that the psychic info was influenced by existing sources to any significant degree.

The psychic info about things like Atlantis and past or future events is presented as being less than completely accurate and reliable. However I disagree with this.

Problem: Cayce said earth changes and other historical events would occur in 1958 and 1998 such as New York City would sink under the ocean.

Answer: He didn't say '1958' and '1998'. He said '58 and '98. This could mean any years such as 2058, 3198, etc. (Other supporters of Cayce have said that he was correct but people changed so the future events didn't occur. However this is not an accurate description of a prophet. Prophets only say things that happen. Anyone can say something 'might' happen.)

Those 20 years cycles come up in relation to the time travel experiments that were performed by the navy during The Philadelphia Experiement which later became The Montauk Project.
The earth is on some type of 20 year cycle.

Problem: It is highly unlikely that such a high percentage of those who received psychic readings would have personally known Cayce and Jesus Christ in past lives.

Answer: It was Cayce's hope and prayer to help people understand themselves and their relationship to God in his own unique way. God answered his prayer and sent those people into his life to help him accomplish his goal. (Cayce said he wrote the gospel of Luke in a past life.)

Problem: If a highly advanced civilization such as Atlantis existed we would have some evidence of their advanced technology.

Answer: Such evidence does exist. It's called 'the great pyramid'. In his book The Giza Power Plant Christopher Dunn proves that the great pyramid was a machine like a form of nuclear reactor. The gigantic granite blocks inside the pyramid contain crystals which transformed energy to generate a cosmic energy beam. This is eerily similar to Cayce's description of the temple in Atlantis with its crystal technology and death ray.

Any other discrepancies found in the Cayce readings can be attributed to misunderstandings which occurred when the information was recorded or to misinterpretation.

I think I have demonstrated that everything Cayce said while he was in the trance state is true.
