Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product 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.

This book happily holds the title of my favorite book of all time. I very first read it 15 years ago, and it's still held strong as the best. It's inspirational, adventurous, and deep. It's an easy read, yet you'll never forget it. If you're anything like me, your copy will end up highlighted, bent, wrinkled, broken, and beautiful.

Richard Bach has created an Illusion for all of us to investigate. Is it real or is the Reluctant Messiah our hope? Might we find the meaning of our life and discover that it is all an illusion? The questions are engrossing and the book thought provoking.

I have reads parts of the book and know the story. This isn't a review of the book itself, so much as a very abbreviated cautionary tale. At age 19, my old roommate read this book while he was suffering from a newly-developed and undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Read during a prolonged manic stage, he took the book too literally. Suffice it to say that it did not end well. We are not all possible messiahs, and we cannot perform "miracles" to alter the reality around us. If you want to endeavor to prove otherwise, do so in a safe place, and with respect for those who care about you.

For all those beginning this quest, this book is a great place to start. It summarizes well all the salient points in a succinct little package. If you're still feeling adventurous after this book, I recommend The Education Of Oversoul Seven by Jane Roberts.

This is seriously the best book ever written. Even after you've read it and put it on your shelf for a few years and bring it back out, it is like re-discovering an old friend. Awesome...
