Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

"There was a Master come unto the earth, born in the holy land of Indiana, raised in the mystical hills east of Fort Wayne."

So begins this enchanting, lighthearted mystical adventure story about two barnstorming vagabonds. Illusions springs from a huge What If: "... what if a Siddhartha or a Jesus came into our time, with power over the illusions of the world because he knew the reality behind them? And what if I could meet him in person, if he were flying a biplane, and landed in the same meadow with me? What would he say, what would he be like?"

Illusions is a thought-provoking dialogue between a guy named Richard and a guy named Donald Shimoda, a real Messiah who quit. It is an entertaining story of miracles on the flickering screen of this world -- a startling book about reality and the appearance of reality. It is also a look at the way many of us could live, and the way some of us do.
