About this product

Product Information

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.

Ultimate find, I was looking for one of these for a long time, and when I found this one I had no hesitation in purchasing it, the seller was extremely helpful and communicated very well. The price with the postage was very reasonable and when I got it home the item looked better in person than it did in the picture

    Fantastic Read " The illusions "

    It took me two hours to read this book, and it was so good, that I will be reading it every few years. This book has a great meaning behind it that would fit readers of all types of different personalities. To sum the book up in two words, I would have to say it was a " magical experience ". A good all around read for anyone looking for a quick fascinating and impacting experience, recommended for all ages especially! Thank You for reading : ) Enjoy

    Reminders for the advanced soul

    Author Richard Bach followed up Jonathan Livingston Seagull with Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. In the book, the character Richard Bach would spend a summer barnstorming -- flying around the Mid-west in an old bi-plane, landing in farmer's fields, and getting permission to give rides in his bi-plane and sleep in the field at night. Illusions is the story of what could have happened one summer when Richard Bach met another barnstormer, Donald Shimoda, who was a slightly more evolved human being. The rest of the story is about their adventures together one summer, and the things that Richard learned from Donald Shimoda. One of the really nice features of the book is it is peppered with quotes that became learnings for Richard, all taken from Donald's Messiah's ...

    Illusions - Quick Read, Good Philosophy

    This is an excellent little book. It's a quick read and has a great story. It's about a messiah who decides to escape the messiah life preaching and being followed by crowds, as told by a person he befriends and teaches. The great thing about this book though is the philosophical insights it brings up. The basic philosophy is that things are the way you believe them to be. As it would be applied to real life is exaggerate for the story (example: walking on water is possible if you believe it is) but the basic principal is good. You are good at what you believe you are good at; you are happy if you believe you are happy, ect. I would recommend this book to anyone.

    This book is amazing.

    This book changed my life. I know a lot of people tend to say that, but really, this book changed my life. It confirmed what I had been thinking about the world, and that was that we must make ourselves happy. I am not religious, so the messiah message meant something different to me than it might to someone who was. The point, I think, is that we can all be our own Messiah and make our own dreams and hopes a reality. Sitting around and waiting for things to get good isn't going to fix anything. So this book gave me an incredibly positive (if somewhat naive) outlook on the world around me. It's also well written and long enough to get the point across but short enough not to belabor that point. I think everyone should read it :)

    One of my favorite books of all time!

    I consistently recommend this to any curious person from the age of about 14 and up, who wants to understand mysteries of energy, life, spirit while enjoying learning at the same time. Makes one think. Highly enjoyable story. Both boys and girls will likely love it! Why does that guys plane never have dead bugs on it or need gas? Read it and find out!
