Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

About this book

In the cloud-washed airspace between the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity a man puts his faith in the propeller of his biplane. For disillusioned writer and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach belief is as real as a full tank of gas and sparks firing in the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who can make wrenches fly and Richards imagination soar.... In Illusions the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people dont need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields one-traffic-light midwestern towns and most of all deep within ourselves.
