This book isn't so much Edgar Cayce on reincarnation as it is Noel Langley on reincarnation, with occasional refernces to Cayce. The conviction with which Langley tries to "prove" that reincarnation is, in fact, a Christian view is kind of scary. All of his examples of the plot to bury reincarantion in the bible seem to involve "evil women" of some sort or another; quite a turn off for me. I skipped over most of that. Otherwise, it's full of pretty interesting first-hand accounts.

What disappointed me about this book was that it wasn't so much Edgr Cayce on reincarnation as it was Noel Langley on Reincarnation and occasionally Edgar Cayce. His conviction, the need of the author to "prove" everything he said made it a little uncomfortable and sometimes boring to read, too. Otehrwise, it's interesting. Lots of good first-hand accounts.

I recommend this book 100%. These days I'm a lot less wordy (see below), but still hold the same conviction about Cayce. I think he was the real thing, and that his readings (particularly concerning reincarnation) still hold up today. If nothing else, this is a compelling read and will hold your interest, perhaps even spark some pertinent questions.

Peace.

I really enjoyed the story until I flipped to the copyright page where it states: "All characters and events portrayed in this book are fictitious". I feel a little deceived and I am very dissapointed.

I read this book many, many years ago and found it to be well written, well documented and very convincing on the issue of life after death. Only the physical body falls... the Real Self continues to live on without the physical body. It was very comforting to learn that in violent accidents where death occurs, that the 'victim' is out of his physical body BEFORE impact, and therefore never feels any physical pain, despite the evidence of the grotesquely mangled car he was riding in, and possibly is still trapped in. Eye witnesses at the accident scene wince and imagine that horrendous suffering ensued, but none occurred. How refreshing to learn that. This is a book everyone should read.
