Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

Richard Bach - 2011

Overview

Set between Illinois cornfields and the sky, this story follows a disillusioned writer and barnstormer named Richard Bach. His faith is tested when he encounters Donald Shimoda, a former mechanic who claims to be a messiah. Shimoda possesses extraordinary abilities, including making tools fly, and challenges Bach's perceptions of reality and belief.

This novel, a follow-up to "Jonathan Livingston Seagull," explores profound truths about soaring beyond limitations.
