New Book - No Border Land

"According to Christian philosopher, author, and apologist, Douglas Groothuis, No Border Land is a unique blend of “poetic/prophetic commentary on philosophical and theological prose.”
In a world beset with trial, tribulation, suffering, pain, and death, No Border Land is written with three purposes. First, it is intended to be prophetic in nature, a warning as well as a lament. Secondly, it is an appeal to the fence-straddling, contemporary Laodicean church to rouse herself, repair the wall, and heed the Shepherd’s voice. Finally, it is a gospel apologetic, a call to consider and respond to the biblical message of the cross, the resurrection, and the glorious assurance of hope, joy, and eternal life through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ."

"After having viewed Tom Graffagnino’s original and inventive vignettes for years, No Border Land tops the charts by hitting more warning areas that threaten our way of life than any previous creations. Some of these thoughts will haunt us, while others can bless us from head to toe. Titles such as “Tolerance Now Means Acceptance,” “Everybody’s Chasing Happy,” and “It’s Why Klebold Pulled the Trigger” graphically portray both deeply serious problems in our society as well as pointing to a reliable way out. Highly recommended."

"In these entertaining verses, Tom Graffagnino takes down pop postmodernism, the insistence that nothing is actually real in a way you can't change or deny. Sometimes he's drily amusing, sometimes he's laugh out loud funny. As a Christian, he writes with the belief that God gives us the real world, and that the more real we can be, the happier we'll be. The more we try to create our own reality, the more we'll make a comic mess of it. He writes lightly, but he writes of a great tragedy — and of the Savior who will save us from it."

"Where other writers try a frontal assault on the stronghold of contemporary folly, Tom Graffagnino deftly opens a window. His work proves that sunlight, irony, and beauty can do more to expose faulty thinking and disastrous metaphysics than many tomes of correct but ponderous reasoning."

"Tom may have created a new art form—the poetic/prophetic commentary on philosophical and theological prose. We are better for it."
