The iconic, Scandinavian city of Stockholm is where The Weekender
series takes us in late Summer, 2019. Matt Porter visits the
diverse and cosmopolitan capital to discover the charm of the old
town, to the more modern and up and coming spots that all
encapsulate that Swedish sensibility of calm and orderly sense of
living. Sitting against the breathtaking backdrops of the city's
archipelago, Sweden's largest city has plenty to offer on a weekend
getaway. The book will be an eclectic mix of interesting streets,
delicious food joints, eye-catching landmarks and fantastic
destination spots that can all be found in Stockholm. Whilst the
flow of the book will incorporate the weekend trajectory, the
mixture of content will mean that a reader is both influenced by
Matt's imagery of the city without explicitly having to follow a
specific route but allow them to adventure at will.

"I was inspired by the way a car can steal the show. Think of
iconic car chases in films-it's often about spectacle, and has
little to do with advancing a narrative. And that's the way I think
of these cars, as dead-end technologies, but also as
high-performance machines which, for their audience, sought to
reflect the spirit and attitudes of their time." -Matthew Porter
Matthew Porter presents a portfolio of twenty-five images of
old-school cars, captured in midair as they careen over city
streets and highway intersections. Each photograph is a
freeze-frame-a hypothetical film still from a pulp-fiction chase
scene. The series seems, on one hand, to distill the essence of
muscle-car Americana, a pop-cultural semaphore for the
high-testosterone male persona. And yet, on the other, the
subject-the "all-American" muscle car as antihero-is caught in an
eternal state of suspended animation, while the various elements of
the landscape in the background organize themselves around the
edges of the frame. The resulting pictures are a hybrid of
hyperreality and studied, topographic description, part bittersweet
nostalgia and part ironic reinvention of a classic American trope.
Rachel Kushner contributes an original piece of writing that riffs
on the aesthetic and aspirational nature of the American car.
Overflow finds a clear biblical example of a resource church
described in Acts at Antioch, and provides suggestions of lessons
we can learn from that church today. Can local churches transform
regions? The church described in Acts provides a clear biblical
example of a resource church that overflows with the presence and
power of God into their region with all the resources God gives. By
demonstrating the characteristics, structures and strategies that
any community of Christ-followers desiring to reach out beyond
themselves can adopt, Matthew Porter shows how we can learn to give
away what God gives and be encouraged to make steps to become a
church that overflows with the good news of Christ. Overflow is for
anyone who wants to see their church have an overflowing impact on
their surroundings and who wants to play a part, however big or
small, in seeing churches renewed and society transformed. Content
