ISBN: 9780330253550 0330253557 – Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach. Published by Pan Books, 1978. Softcover. Used, Good condition. 144 pp.

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, 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.
