In Richard Bach’s best-selling book Illusions, the mysterious hero Donald Shimoda
seems to carry the keys to the universe with him as he barnstorms the Midwest in
a Travel Air biplane. Shimoda’s secret is a small book, bound in what appears to be
suede, called the Messiah’s Handbook. This slim volume, which the hero frequently
quotes, is said to contain “whatever you need to know.” All Shimoda has to do is
hold a question in his mind, close his eyes, open the book at random, open his eyes―
and the answer is there.
Here, at last, is the “lost book” from Illusions―the Messiah’s Handbook. Within
these pages, you will find the answers to all your most important questions as well
as answers to questions that you may have never thought to ask―until now.

Review:

Readers of Richard Bach’s Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, will recall that said messiah, Donald Shimoda, carried with him a small book entitled the Messiah’s Handbook. According to Shimoda, all Bach had to do was, "Open it, and whatever you need to know is there." Now, decades after Illusions was first published, Bach has made the handbook available to all of us "advanced souls in training."

Rather than reading it cover-to-cover, Bach counsels us to close our eyes, focus on the question we want an answer to, then open the handbook at random, open our eyes and read what’s on the page. In this regard, Messiah’s Handbook can be likened to a 21st century version of the I Ching or The Book of Runes, with the same appeal to readers who enjoys such works. Each page is composed of a single, thought-provoking aphorism.

As with all of Bach’s books, at the heart of Messiah’s Handbook is his encouragement to his reader to follow the drumbeat of their dreams without compromise or apology, knowing that we can have what we desire so long as we believe we can. Used as directed, Messiah’s Handbook is a delightfully insightful guide for making those dreams come true.--Larry Trivieri Jr.
