Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah Review

Thirty seven reviewers of 493 assign 3 stars or less to this book. Unlike those reviewers, I easily found this to be THE BEST and the most inspiring book I have ever read. If you classify a quote such as "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly" cheesy, or comparable to 'ham and eggs', this book may not be for you. If you have the capability and/ or desire to think about how profound this statement is, you can't afford not to read this book. This pearl of wisdom, and many more like this, have helped me gain so much in my life while helping me through any tough times.

There have been days when I read one page, thought about it for many days before I could advance to next page. If you think this is a 'simple' book unlike what philosophical treatises should be, read it at leisure and be willing to pontificate-your views might change. I know I loved this book when I first read it when I was 18 years old. Nineteen years later, the book is still a masterpiece to me.

Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah Overview

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.
