Will it be global disaster, heaven on earth or business as usual? What is the Jewish view? Is there any information or is it just speculation? And what or who is Moshiach, and why should I care? Have the Lubavitchers themselves cooked up all the messianic fervor, or did their Rebbe put them up to it? And what role does the Rebbe himself play in all this?

In these pages, Chassidic scientist Arnie Gotfryd and Prof. Herman Branover tackle all these questions and many more. His style is clear and readable, expressing warmth and vitality as well as firm facts, drawn from the world around us as well as the Torah tradition that makes sense of it all. Unique in its scope, Living in the Age of Moshiach escorts the reader step by step from FAQ to fluency in all the issues.

The book's four sections are rungs, not only up the ladder of information, but also up the scale of Jewish pride and joy about our heritage, destiny, and the special times in which we live. In "The Big Picture" the reader gets a stretching exercise, looking back to the beginning of time and forward to the end, around the world at all the megatrends, up to the realm of revelation, and down to the facts on the ground about what Moshiach can and can't be. Then you meet "The Rebbe" not only through stories and teachings, but also through analysis of the issues (and of ourselves!) In "Signs of the Times" you will relive the Gulf War, and explore megatrends in science and technology as examples of prophecy fulfilled, by which time you may wonder why tomorrow isn't today yet. So "Why’ll You Wait" scopes the issues down to one person... you, and what Moshiach means at that level.
