Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

This book by Richard Bach came up once on Joe Rogan in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Zack Snyder. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

Wonderfully written, a glimpse into faith, self-reliance and friendship, witty and thought provoking. Barnstorming pilot meets a messianic man who has misgivings about his purpose. His scripture is captured in a greasy spiral bound notebook and he changes the lives of all he meets.
