Does your life feel out of balance?
Most of us are so overwhelmed by work, bills, and school and family
commitments that we rush from person to person and place to place
without ever feeling satisfied--sometimes giving one area of our
lives too much attention and other areas not enough. It's always
too little or too much This crazy imbalance and the resulting
stress and unhappiness you feel are the clutter that Peter Walsh
helps you tackle in "Enough Already
"
Peter starts by explaining how the six key areas of your
life--Family, Relationships, Work, Health, Money, and Spirituality
are interrelated. He then shows you how, if one area of your life
is cluttered, that clutter will creep into the other areas creating
turmoil and imbalance in your life, family, work, and personal
life. Peter offers a step-by-step plan to help you acknowledge and
address the emotional and mental clutter that continually holds you
back from living the more fulfilling life you deserve.
With his wry humor, constant encouragement, and the specific tips
and practical advice he offers, Peter shows how to prioritize what
matters in your life; let go of the stress and clutter; and regain
your balance, focus, energy, and purpose. By following his simple
plan you will begin to view your life and how you spend your time
and energy in a completely new way. By embracing Peter's approach
you will finally be able to live a stress-free life of balance and
fulfillment--the life that's been buried under all your emotional
clutter for years and the one you've always imagined.

In Books I-V of De Civitate Dei, Augustine rejects the claim that
worship of the pagan gods had brought success in this life, and in
Books VI-X, the prospect of a happy afterlife. In Books XI-XII,
Augustine turns from attack to defence, for at this point he
initiates his apology for the Christian faith. Books XI and XII
document the initial phase of the rise of the two cities, the city
of God and the city of this world, beginning with the creation of
the world and the human race. In Book XI, Augustine rejects the
theories of Aristotle, Plato and the Epicureans on the creation of
the universe and addresses the creation of angels, Satan, the role
of the holy Trinity and the importance of numerology in the Genesis
account. In Book XII Augustine is chiefly concerned with refuting
standard objections to the Christian tradition, returning to
discussion of the Creation, including his calculation, based on the
scriptures, that the world was created less than 6,000 years ago.
Peter Walsh's acclaimed edition of The City of God is the only
edition in English that provides not only a text but also a
detailed commentary on one of the most influential documents in the
history of western Christianity. Before his death in 2013 he had
completed up to Book XVI; it is intended to complete all twenty-two
books. Latin text, with facing-page English translation,
introduction, notes and commentary.
After completing the first ten books of De Civitate Dei, in which
Augustine sought to refute the claim that pagan deities had ensured
that Rome enjoyed unbroken success and prosperity in this life and
guaranteed its citizens a blessed life after death, Augustine
devoted the remaining twelve books to discuss the origins,
development and destiny of the two cities of Babylon and Jerusalem,
with the predominant emphasis on the city of God. In this volume,
the seventh in Peter Walsh's series, Augustine turns to the problem
of death as punishment for the sin of disobedience, resumes his
attack on the Platonists and pursues a range of topics which emerge
from consideration of Adam's sin. This is the only edition of these
books in English which provides not only a text but also a detailed
commentary on one of the most influential documents in the history
of western Christianity. Latin text with facing-page English
translation, introduction and commentary.

the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well

aftermath of the sack of Rome in AD 410 by the Goths, Augustine
replies to the pagans, who attributed the fall of Rome to the
Christian religion and its prohibition of the worship of the pagan
gods. Books VI and VII focus on the figure of Terentius Varro, a
man revered by Augustine's pagan contemporaries. By exploiting
Varro's learned researches on Roman religion, Augustine condemns
Roman religious practices and beliefs in order to refute pagan
claims that the Roman deities had guaranteed a blessed life in the
hereafter for their devotees. These books are therefore not only an
invaluable source for the study of early Christianity but also for
any student of Classical Rome, who is provided here with a detailed
account of one of the most learned figures of Roman antiquity,
whose own works have not survived in the same state. Latin text

This edition of St Augustine's The City of God (De Civitate Dei) is
the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well
as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the
history of western Christianity. In Book V Augustine searches out
and presents an answer to the question which lies behind the
earlier books. In spite of the moral bankruptcy of the Roman state,
and in spite of the disasters and injustices which have marked her
history since the foundation, Rome has extended her imperial sway
throughout Europe and the Near East. If the pagan gods have not
guided her to this terrestrial eminence, how has this success been
achieved? Augustine divides his response into four main sections:
addressing the pagan notion of fate; arguing that God aided the
Romans to imperial glory because a minority of them were virtuous
even though they did not worship him; stating explicitly that the
Roman Empire was set in place by God and is governed by his
providence; and devoting the final section to the advent of
Christian Emperors. Latin text with facing-page English
translation, introduction and commentary.
The History of English Affairs, covering the years 1066-1198, was
written at the close of the twelfth century and has been described
as being "both in substance and in form ... the finest historical
work left to us by an Englishman of the twelfth century" (The
Dictionary of National Biography). The author's critical ability,
gifts of acute observation, clear judgment and tolerant
impartiality justify his high reputation as an original authority,
Book Two covers the years 1136-1198, and incorporates the murder of
Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, the capture of the King of
Scots at Alnwick, and the first subjugation of Ireland by the
English. It also documents the career of Nicholas Breakspear, the
only Englishman to become Pope. Dual language: Latin -- English.
This edition of St Augustine's The City of God (De Civitate Dei) is
the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well
as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the
history of western Christianity. In these books Augustine offers a
Christian perspective on the growth of Rome, which its pagan
apologists attribute to the providential protection of its gods.
Book III spotlights both the injustices inflicted and the
privations endured by the Romans, thus rebutting such claims. Book
IV offers a withering account of the Roman deities, basing its
analysis on the researches of Terentius Varro. This section of The
City of God is a vital document for students of Roman history, and
especially of Roman religion, for it provides the most detailed
evidence of Varro's learned works. Latin text with facing-page

10661135 (the Norman Conquest to the death of Henry I), followed by
an extensive exposition of the political, military and religious
events of the reign of Stephen (113554), including the Second
Crusade and events in Scotland. William's Latin is spare and
elegant. At University level, this is the ideal text for students
of medieval history seeking original source material and for
students in Classical departments looking for a combination of
interesting content and manageable Latin. Schools will find it a
helpful aid to increase fluency in reading Latin and develop a

This text covers the events of 182-179 BC. Livy focuses on the
renewed threat to Rome from Macedon: the rivalry between Philip's
two sons, Perseus and Demetrius, culminating in the murder of
Demetrius, and Philip's physical decline following this event. The
campaigns in Spain and in northern Italy offer further
opportunities for narrative, in which Fulvius Flaccus and
Sempronius Gracchus in Spain, and Aemilius Paulus in Liguria, are
prominent. The domestic controversies of the period inlcude the
election to the censorship of sworn enemies, Aemilius Lepidus and
Fulvius Nobilior, and the popular agitation which compelled them to
work in harmony together.

Livy is a popular author in schools and universities in all areas
of the English speaking world. The more popular books studied are
those which recount the early history of Rome and the more
noteworthy events of the Second Punic War; but there is a good case
for examining the Romans' attitudes in the early years of their
involvement in Greece and Asia, for these are crucial for an
understanding of the development of Roman imperialism. The period
covered by these five books, from the war against Antiochus the
Great to the death of Philip V of Macedon, is of increasing
interest to students of Hellenistic Greece and Roman imperialism,
and should therefore increasingly interest university departments
and Examination Boards seeking to break away from the conventional
choices of the first and third decades. This is the only modern
edition in English of these books.XXXVII (191189 BC) This war with
Antiochus and its outcome signalled the beginning of Roman
influence in Asia and the eventual expansion of her empire to the
Euphrates. The details of the naval operations in the Aegean and
the land-fighting are contained in this book, together with the
preliminary settlement which preceded the formal terms of peace
declared at Apamea.Latin text with facing translation, notes and
commentary.
Boethius composed the De Consolatione Philosophiae in the sixth
century AD whilst awaiting death under torture, condemned on a
charge of treason which he protested was manifestly unjust. Though
a convinced Christian, in detailing the true end of life which is
the soul's knowledge of God, he consoled himself not with Christian
precepts but with the tenets of Greek philosophy. This work
dominated the intellectual world of the Middle Ages; writers as
diverse as Thomas Aquinas, Jean de Meun, and Dante were inspired by
it. In England it was rendered in to Old English by Alfred the
Great, into Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer, and later Queen
Elizabeth I made her own translation. The circumstances of
composition, the heroic demeanour of the author, and the
'Menippean' texture of part prose, part verse have combined to
exercise a fascination over students of philosophy and literature
ever since. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
