As a young girl, going to church was the norm for my siblings and me. As I began to get older, I realized that going to church was no longer just enough because I realized that they were some deep-rooted issues I was struggling with that weren't properly addressed in the church, if at all. With no one to talk to and no resources available at the time, I struggled in silence The church needs to return to the place that recognizes the importance of being a hospital to those who are spiritually sick, not a place of judgment. It should be a place where people can bring their internal struggles and conflicts to receive healing. There are too many young Christian youths who are battling with obstacles--such as lust, masturbation, greed, loneliness, and so much more--with no platform to which they feel safe to turn to. There are also too many Christian parents who have unintentionally created blinders in their children's lives that they don't realize some of the things that their kids are struggling with. This book is not for the faint at heart. For those who are "too spiritual," be warned! It's biblical. It's the raw and the uncut truth of what your Christian teen or adult goes through. Proverbs 28:13 states, "You will not succeed in life if you try to hide your sins. Confess them and give them up; then God will show mercy to you." In order to be free from anything, you must first acknowledge and then confess your secret. If you are trying to strengthen your relationship with God but you are still struggling with your trashy, fleshly desire to commit sin, then this book, Me Versus Me: The Struggle to Be Your Better Self, is for you.

What if you suddenly met someone who's you--only better? That's what happens in this hilarious new series for fans of Stuart Gibb's Moon Base Alpha and quirky sci-fi animated shows like Rick and Morty and Regular Show. It all starts with a note folded into the shape of an origami octopus: "Hi, Me. Yes, you. You're me, and I'm you." If you believe this and the other origami notes that follow--which middle schooler Meade Macon absolutely, positively does NOT--the concept of parallel dimensions is true, and there is a convention full of alternate versions of Meade waiting for his RSVP. It's got to be a joke. Except . . . the octopus is an origami fold Meade thought he invented. And the note writer has a lot of intel on him that nobody else should know. I mean, he's told his best friend Twig a lot about himself, but he's definitely kept mum about that time he sleepwalk-peed into his Lego container when he was six. Could Me Con be a real thing? And why does the origami stalker want him to go so badly anyway?

Personalized healthcare--or what the award-winning author Donna Dickenson calls "Me Medicine"--is radically transforming our longstanding "one-size-fits-all" model. Technologies such as direct-to-consumer genetic testing, pharmacogenetically developed therapies in cancer care, private umbilical cord blood banking, and neurocognitive enhancement claim to cater to an individual's specific biological character, and, in some cases, these technologies have shown powerful potential. Yet in others they have produced negligible or even negative results. Whatever is behind the rise of Me Medicine, it isn't just science. So why is Me Medicine rapidly edging out We Medicine, and how has our commitment to our collective health suffered as a result? In her cogent, provocative analysis, Dickenson examines the economic and political factors fueling the Me Medicine phenomenon and explores how, over time, this paradigm shift in how we approach our health might damage our individual and collective well-being. Historically, the measures of "We Medicine," such as vaccination and investment in public-health infrastructure, have radically extended our life spans, and Dickenson argues we've lost sight of that truth in our enthusiasm for "Me Medicine." Dickenson explores how personalized medicine illustrates capitalism's protean capacity for creating new products and markets where none existed before--and how this, rather than scientific plausibility, goes a long way toward explaining private umbilical cord blood banks and retail genetics. Drawing on the latest findings from leading scientists, social scientists, and political analysts, she critically examines four possible hypotheses driving our Me Medicine moment: a growing sense of threat; a wave of patient narcissism; corporate interests driving new niche markets; and the dominance of personal choice as a cultural value. She concludes with insights from political theory that emphasize a conception of the commons and the steps we can take to restore its value to modern biotechnology.
