Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
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 Richard's 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 don't 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.
