Illusions: Adventures Of A Reluctant Messiah

Description: 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. Author Biography: A former USAF pilot, gypsy barnstormer and airplane mechanic, Richard Bach is the author of fifteen books. He is also the author of the multi-million international bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
