It's difficult to write a book review for a book such as this. What do I mean? I mean that it's difficult to reduce a work about delivering you facts into something that is only as good as your opinion. However, I shall try.
I would put this book in the same camp as The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. But where Lewis' book was fiction based on spiritual principles, The Return of the Gods is an account of the results that evil has on this planet and its people.
It's chilling, it's concerning, it's disturbing. It explains the times we're living in though. We live in an age like no other and before I read this I threw up my hands like the rest of you saying, "what is going on? where is this craziness coming from?" Well, now I know.
I can't really get into the detail of this book in this review though, because Rabbi Cahn deftly weaved the text together in such a way as to connect multiple points while traveling back and forth through the ages. Each section builds on the next and as it progresses it starts to connect with multiple past points. So if I tried to give you a little teaser it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to you.
What I can tell you is if you've wondered what is going on, and not specifically "why are my groceries more expensive," but you've wondered why the world is going to pieces, why people are so miserable, and why the government is crumbling, you will find the answers in this book. It is no book to pull you into a false sense of security but a book to pull you into the truth. After all, it is only when you know the truth that you can actually begin to make a difference.

Content Warnings
I would say that I do not think children should read this because of the nature of the content, it would be too heavy for a kid
