Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah -- Richard Bach

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. . . . <p/>In <i>Illusions, </i> the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller <i>Jonathan Livingston Seagull, </i> 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.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Richard Bach<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dell<br><b>Published:</b> 10/10/1989<br><b>Pages:</b> 192<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.20lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.70h x 4.16w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780440204886<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Richard Bach</b> is the author of <i>Stranger to the Ground</i>, <i>Biplane</i>, <i>Nothing by Chance</i>, <i>Jonathan Livingston Seagull</i>, <i>A Gift of Wings</i>, <i>Illusions</i>, <i>There's No Such Place as Far Away</i>, <i>The Bridge Across Forever</i>, <i>One</i>, and <i>Running from Safety</i>.</p>
