Summary

Flavius Josephus' 'The Antiquities of the Jews' & 'The War of the Jews' are monumental works that provide a detailed account of Jewish history and the Jewish-Roman wars. Written in the first century AD, Josephus seamlessly blends historical facts with storytelling, making the narratives engaging and informative. 'The Antiquities of the Jews' chronicles the history of the Jewish people from creation to the Jewish revolt against the Romans, while 'The War of the Jews' focuses on the Jewish-Roman conflict, including the siege of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple. Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian and Roman citizen, was an eyewitness to many of the events he writes about in his works. His unique perspective and insider knowledge give readers a firsthand look into the tumultuous events of his time. Josephus' works serve as valuable historical sources for scholars and researchers studying ancient Jewish history and the Roman Empire. I highly recommend 'The Antiquities of the Jews' & 'The War of the Jews' to readers interested in history, biblical studies, and ancient civilizations. Flavius Josephus' comprehensive accounts offer a deep dive into the world of ancient Judea and the conflicts that shaped it.

Living Room Revolution - A...

Cecile Andrews

The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project).

Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed.

Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation.

At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation.

The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room!

“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
