Me Being Me Is Exactly as Insane as You Being You
by Todd Hasak-LowyA heartfelt, humorous story of a teen boy's impulsive road trip after the shock of his lifetime--told entirely in lists!Darren hasn't had an easy year. There was his parents' divorce, which just so happened to come at the same time his older brother Nate left for college and his longtime best friend moved away. And of course there's the whole not having a girlfriend thing. Then one Thursday morning Darren's dad shows up at his house at 6 a.m. with a glazed chocolate doughnut and a revelation that turns Darren's world inside out. In full freakout mode, Darren, in a totally un-Darren move, ditches school to go visit Nate. Barely twenty-four hours at Nate's school makes everything much better or much worse--Darren has no idea. It might somehow be both. All he knows for sure is that in addition to trying to figure out why none of his family members are who they used to be, he's now obsessed with a strangely amazing girl who showed up out of nowhere but then totally disappeared. Told entirely in lists, Todd Hasak-Lowy's debut YA novel perfectly captures why having anything to do with anyone, including yourself, is: 1. painful2. unavoidable3. ridiculously complicated4. possibly, hopefully the right thing after all.

Me Too: Experience the God Who Understands
by Jon WeeceYour life is filled with pressure and pain and heartache and disappointment. So was His. If you've ever tried to pick up the shattered pieces of your life and put them back together again without help, you know it's an impossible task. When you lose your job, when divorce divides your family, when a loved one commits suicide, or when cancer claims a friend, it's easy to lose perspective and abandon hope. According to Jon Weece, Christianity does not require you to smile through your pain, much less praise God for tormenting you. God doesn't enjoy your suffering. But he does understand it--and he knows exactly how to fix it. That's what Me Too is all about: A God who turned the ugliness of the cross into a spectacle of eternal beauty. An all-powerful Lord who will do the same with the pain of this world. An eternal Father who specializes in wiping away tears and putting you back together again. If you'll allow him.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
by Jesse AndrewsUp until senior year, Greg has maintained total social invisibility. He only has one friend, Earl, and together they spend their time--when not playing video games and avoiding Earl's terrifying brothers-- making movies, their own versions of Coppola and Herzog cult classics. Greg would be the first one to tell you his movies are f*@$ing terrible, but he and Earl don't make them for other people. Until Rachel. <P><P> Rachel has leukemia, and Greg's mom gets the genius idea that Greg should befriend her. Against his better judgment and despite his extreme awkwardness, he does. When Rachel decides to stop treatment, Greg and Earl make her a movie, and Greg must abandon invisibility and make a stand. It's a hilarious, outrageous, and truthful look at death and high school by a prodigiously talented debut author.
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl: A Novel
by Jesse AndrewsThe New York Times bestseller that inspired the Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning film. The funniest book you’ll ever read about death. It is a universally acknowledged truth that high school sucks. But on the first day of his senior year, Greg Gaines thinks he’s figured it out. The answer to the basic existential question: How is it possible to exist in a place that sucks so bad? His strategy: remain at the periphery at all times. Keep an insanely low profile. Make mediocre films with the one person who is even sort of his friend, Earl.This plan works for exactly eight hours. Then Greg’s mom forces him to become friends with a girl who has cancer. This brings about the destruction of Greg’s entire life.“Mr. Andrews’ often hilarious teen dialogue is utterly convincing, and his characters are compelling. Greg’s random sense of humor, terrible self-esteem and general lack of self-awareness all ring true. Like many YA authors, Mr. Andrews blends humor and pathos with true skill, but he steers clear of tricky resolutions and overt life lessons, favoring incremental understanding and growth.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette“One need only look at the chapter titles (‘Let’s Just Get This Embarrassing Chapter Out of the Way’) to know that this is one funny book.” —Booklist (starred review)“Though this novel begs inevitable thematic comparisons to John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, it stands on its own in inventiveness, humor and heart.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Me and We: God's New Social Gospel
by Leonard SweetWhen Christians answer the clarion call to be missional, too often it is primarily to feel good or to grow in their own faith. But ultimately we remain unsatisfied because, in the end, it’s still about "me"—my church, my faith, my salvation. Then sometimes inspiration dries up. We forget that Jesus is the head of the Church, which exists at God’s pleasure and disposal. God is birthing a new Social Gospel, meant to reclaim mission and justice ministries as prime directives for the Church, and not with the naive thinking of the 19th or 20th centuries. What are the characteristics of this new Social Gospel? There is an expectation that mission is "with" and not "for" others. There is an acknowledgement that tolerance is not a dirty word and we have to find a peaceable way to live in our intercultural world. It carries the Wesleyan impulse to change the world by working to build God’s kingdom in this world. It offers the grace and salvation of Christ to those in need, believing that none are free unless all are free. It means that we feed the hungry, educate to poor, and equip the powerless in tangible ways.

Me lo merezco todo: Triunfar haciendo las cosas difíciles de la manera correcta
by John TownsendEn una cultura que fomenta los atajos y la irresponsabilidad, este libro provee principios y habilidades para ayudar a las personas a llegar a ser exitosas y a ayudar a otros que están atascados en un modo de vida «de la forma fácil». <P><P>Hoy día vivimos en una cultura que dice: «Mi vida debería ser fácil y funcionar bien para mí». Esta actitud, denominada sentirse con derechos, influencia nuestras instituciones más importantes: familia, negocios, iglesia y gobierno. Sus efectos son devastadores, contribuyendo a problemas relacionales, problemas de ética en el trabajo, y luchas emocionales. Se reduce a esto: las personas no están llegando hasta donde quieren ir, porque no saben cómo vivir de la forma difícil. Sentirse con derechos evita que aborden retos y encuentren el éxito. Este libro proporciona principios y herramientas para el cambio. Enseña a las personas las habilidades de aprender a abordar y resolver asuntos que son difíciles, en lugar de evitarlos, abandonar demasiado pronto, o esperar que otra persona lo haga en lugar de ellos. Los hábitos obtenidos de este libro conducirán al éxito en las relaciones, las finanzas, el cuidado personal y el trabajo del lector. <P><P>Cuando el lector enfrenta lo que debe ser enfrentado, se mantiene firme para cumplir sus metas y resolver sus luchas mejor y con más rapidez. En ese sentido, este libro aporta mucha esperanza y positividad a la difícil arena de la vida. La forma difícil es sencilla: es enfrentar cada reto requerido para lograr lo que más importa. Cualquier cosa que valga la pena hacer tendrá el costo de ser difícil de hacer. Pero cuando aprendemos a hacer las cosas correctas, y a superar el dolor que conllevan, tenemos una posibilidad de éxito mucho mejor. A veces nos llegan pruebas, como problemas matrimoniales, un negocio que fracasa, o una enfermedad. Otras veces son oportunidades en las que es necesario correr un riesgo, como comenzar un negocio a tiempo parcial, o simplemente ser vulnerable con alguien. Y otras veces son problemas que deben ser confrontados, como un adolescente problemático, una conversación que hemos estado evitando, o un equipo en el trabajo que necesita ser reestructurado. Cualquiera que sea el contexto, la forma difícil es la primera y mejor manera de enfocar un buen resultado.

Me? Obey Him?
by Elizabeth Rice HandfordFrom the book: Through centuries in churches holding the historic Christian faith, in marriage ceremonies the wife has promised "to love, honor and obey" her husband. Up until about fifty years ago the men did the voting for the family and his vote was supposed to represent his wife's position as well as his own. In New Testament churches a woman was not allowed to be a pastor or teach men or usurp authority over men. And that leads to the serious question. Should a wife obey even her unsaved husband? Should she obey in everything? Here Mrs. Handford deals with remarkable clarity and scriptural evidence with this question. In her introduction she says: "Some of the ideas in these pages may be absolutely new to you, and foreign to everything you have ever believed. Hopefully, you will find them absolutely faithful to the Scriptures, and that they will lead to holy and happy living. Because this is an area fraught with opinion and prejudice, you'll need to ask the Lord to open your heart and mind to the truth. Ask Him to show you exactly what He requires. Then, if I touch a place of need in your life, you will recognize it, and seek cleansing for it. "John 7:17 says, 'If an

Meaning and Aging: Humanist Perspectives (Studies in Humanism and Atheism)
by Anja Machielse Joachim DuyndamThe main objective of this book is to add, from a humanist perspective, new interdisciplinary insights and research results to the current academic debate on aging. The collection aims to enhance and complement the predominantly biomedical and sociological debates and provide a more comprehensive and highly topical view on aging and old age. By purveying a meaning-in-life perspective to the current debate we want to enrich and to deepen the research on aging, thus aspiring to an ideal of meaningful aging. The starting point of this book is a humanistic meaning frame for addressing basic needs of a meaningful existence, such as having goals in life, a sense of self-worth, connectedness with others, moral justification, a certain degree of understanding (comprehensibility), direction and influence with a view to cohesion in life, and not in the least place: (living) pleasure or excitement. Taken together, the essays show that experiencing a meaningful life contributes to one’s mentalresilience, conceived as the ability to realize a humane individuality (autonomy) in thinking and acting in situations of adversity and vulnerability, particularly those faced by older people.
Meaning and Controversy within Chinese Ancestor Religion
by Paulin Batairwa KubuyaChinese practices related to ancestors have long been the subject of conflicting interpretations. These practices are rooted in the lived experience of practitioners, and therefore need to be considered as embodied expressions of the quest for existential meaning. For practitioners, the achievement of existential meaning requires the inclusion, implication, and mediation of the ancestors. When gestures in ancestor rites are analyzed from this perspective it is possible to appreciate their essence as constitutive of "ancestor religion. " This book uses an inquisitive method that investigates the discrepancies between foreign and local explanations, and proposes another hermeneutic framework for ancestor related praxes.
