Sample Readings...

@bookofdormin

From the "Main Canon" of the Book of Dormin'...

The who maketh their bed ruleth over sloth..l - Book of the Bed 3:13
flush not what ought not to be flushed: wipes that lie and say they art “flushable,” thy roommate’s sadness, nor toothpicks, nor ramen.
blessed is the student who feasteth on free pizza, for their budget shall endure.

From the "Apocrypha of Lost Scrolls"...

God’s love is not curved on a scale.  He doesn’t need your perfection—just your presence.
Ths season will shape your roots.  Plant Deep.
Jesus doesn't cancel people.  He restores them.

wisdom, WITH WIT and a wink

Cheeky advice for college bound grads

Lessons every dorm bound graduate could use. From mastering a plunger, to dealing with people, from finding purpose, to folding a fitted sheet.

Giftable gold

Send grads off with a smile

Give'm a gift that's different — clever, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud useful. This isn’t your average advice book. Some might even say it is slightly above average (...and you can still hide the boring old money gift between any of the pages).

Vintage vibes, INFINITE OUTLOOK

Classic look, with eternal truths

Inspired by old-school tomes and written in a throw-back style, the main canon gives practical advice in a stylistic verse not seen in ages, while the Apocrypha of Lost Scrolls drops some 2000+ year old biblical truth in plain English and a "chill" way.

A KEEPSAKE For every grad

They’ll know they are loved

From awkward encounters to real-world plunger tactics, this book covers the gamut for any college bound student.  Most importantly, it covers the fact they have a God that loves them, just as they are.

The Apocrypha of Lost Scrolls

The Apocrypha of Lost Scrolls are appended to the back of the Main Canon of The Book of Dormin' —not for lack of truth, but rather clarity and specific purpose. Yea, they were not hidden in a sock drawer, or buried under iced coffee and ramen receipts; no, they are ancient truths found in another “good book.”  

These Lost Scrolls have been preserved for such a time as this:  For the student who actually seeketh not only to pass exams or unclog his drain, but to pursue a life everlasting. Little reminders that God is cheering for them.

FAQ: Cheeky Wisdom Unveiled

Got Questions? Get a Laugh.

Wondering about gifting or what makes this book a grad must-have?

Is this book actually funny?

Oh, to some. It helps if you read it out loud in a really serious low voice or funny accent. But, yeah it's funny.

Who should get this as a gift?

Ideal for high school graduation gifts, college send-off gift baskets, dorm dwellers, or anyone who needs a nudge, encouragement, and a giggle before their next big leap.  Believers or not.

What's with the King James style verse?

Mainly for the laughs. Besides, nothing makes things less serious, than stating them in a overly seriously way.

Will it make my grad actually read it?

Short chapters...so maybe. Prayer helps. You can always just share a verse at a time.
