| Descripción y Comentario
Book DescriptionIn 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.

 great if you know what you are going to find
This is a book for those who have left its mind to much tight with social, moral or fear rules. It's not an apology to anarchy but a decided bet for openess of mind. Written in mistic like fashion fantasizes with your beliefs to bring to you to reconsider every fence you have decided you can not cross in your life.
I don't think it's against religion or faith, indeed a faithless reader might find its arguments just more incredible.
I strongly advise any reader to just linger into the book as if it were a dream a then decide.

Simple and Real
The theories Richard Bach relates to us as readers are great. I love his writing and I love his story lines. He can make the most basic principle into an interesting book. I recommend anything Richard Bach writes.

 Pilot your own life
Put yourself in the main character's shoes. You've just met a messiah. He's teaching you the biz, so to speak. Are you ready for the challenge?
Are you willing to accept responsibility for all aspects of your life? Are you willing to admit there is more to life than what appears on the surface?
This book appeals to me for many reasons. I would love to have a mentor and teacher to show me what's really real in my life.
It's no accident that the Richard and Shimoda (the messiah) are pilots. Can't we all become pilots of our own lives? That's what I want anyway. Illusions is a great place to start.

Food for the soul
The book "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" written by Richard Bach, is a must have for everyone. I have heard from time to time in the past that Richard Bach is Stephen King's alias. Whether it is true or not, i don't know for sure. Anyways, this book is very uplifting. I refer back to this book when i feel my life needs some adjusting.

A Life-Changing Read for Humans 8 to 108
This is one of those life changing books. I first came across this while looking midlessly through my local "spiritual" bookstore and ended up reading the entire thing in the next two hours.
As a fast read, with a simple, concise message, this book lacks nothing. It isn't dated, unless you consider religion or spiritual ideas dated. Richard Bach creates a story that can effect you as much or as little as you want- but it teaches the precepts of becoming a messiah yourself and helps you to view Jesus, Christianity, God, and yourself in a brand new light.
Needless to say, this is a five out of five. Buy it today and then give it away.
