Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
by Richard Bach
There's something a little magical about this book (or "messiah-ic" if you prefer). It's one I remember reading as a young adult and it really resonating with me. And the cover with the blue feather, it's something I could always recall.
Now, years later, re-reading it held mostly the same magic for me. I liked the approach to religion, philosophy, and the "what-ifs" raised in terms of those things. It made it approachable, and dare I say, entertaining. There's nothing overtly in your face or suggestive of a particular religion (outside of the terms themselves).
It's a quick read, but highly enjoyable, which makes it easy to put this one on the shelf to re-read later. Bach's philosophies on how a Messiah would feel being on the earth doing your average grind, and meeting and learning from him are thoughtful and well written.
This will always be a book I recommend.
