"Collection of pictures gathered by the authors during a two-year search in which they canvassed neighborhoods and knocked on people's doors, asking to see people's dusty albums and yellowing scrapbooks."--From jacket flap

The world thinks they?ve got it all figured out. According to this culture, there's nothing wrong at all to choosing a mate: you play the field, try out a number of potential candidates, and then settle on whichever person will make you look good and meet all your needs. (But that's wrong). If you?re serious about living a life set apart, about resisting this culture's attempts to mold you into its image, and about honoring God with all your decisions- with your life- then you need to understand the proper order of doing things. You need to wash your mind in the pure truth of God's Word and let it transform your thinking.

Luhz Press presents "The Meaning of Gravity," the first monograph of collage works by Ken Graves. Ken Graves created hundreds of collages from the mid-1970s until his passing in 2016, using medical journals, technical manuals, advertisements, and found objects. Highly influenced by Surrealism's aim to reveal the subconscious through dream-like scenes, he reconfigured the material of popular culture to unveil the social undercurrents embedded in commercial imagery. Graves' collages examine the tension of societal roles-from intimate relationships, to duty, to one's sex or station-and masterfully reveals the hidden rituals that have been erected to create and maintain a set of social orders. Yet, each scene resists finality, presenting work that is fluid, contingent, and inquisitive.While Graves' reputation as a photographer precedes him, the artist's rarely seen collage work complements his photography, revealing an artist who engaged with the politically charged climate of late twentieth century America not only by documenting it but also by reimagining it.

* Chronicles the myth and relationships of the artists of the "Northwest School"

Ken Graves's idiosyncratic photographs capture the humour and pathos of America in the transitional era of the 1960s and 1970s. Looking in from the margins, Graves highlights the contradictions inherent in America and its culture moulded equally by idealism and decline. He simultaneously examines and dismantles those myths, and plays out the tension of the American dream against the backdrop of a gritty reality. Graves uses photography as a tool to document everyday surrealism, the improbable episodes and happy accidents which unfold before the camera. Like Garry Winogrand, Graves is concerned with building a distinct photographic language -- literary in tone, and always belied by a politics of vision. In searching out public displays of Americana, Graves focuses on the simultaneity of anticipation and collision, reaching beyond the hyperreal of the fairgrounds and the holiday occasions, revealing instead the wonder, humour and strangeness of the everyday.00Ken Graves was born in Oregon, US, in 1942. He is the coauthor of American Snapshots (Scrimshaw Press, 1971) with Mitchell Payne, and Ballroom with Eva Lipman (Milkweed Editions, 1989). His photographs appear in the collections of MoMA, New York; MoMA, San Francisco, among others.

Reclaim God's vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality - in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You'll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize - or balance - work, family and church responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own - to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.
