Hi! I’m Jessie Gussman and I get emails all the time from people who spewed their coffee/half-chewed toast/cereal out all over their e-reader. Or who woke up their spouse while reading my newsletter because they were laughing so hard. Or who save my emails until they get home from work because they don’t have the kind of job where howling and rolling on the floor is acceptable conduct. But not every story in this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Some of them will make you cry. Some will make you think. And some of them will make you shake your head and wonder how in the world someone like me has made it through life without being put in a straight jacket and carted away. Not even close. I get paid to write love stories. Lol Life is weird, I agree. I’m a wife, mother and farmer by day, romance novelist by night and in my spare time, I write about my life from prison. Kidding about the prison part. (At the time of this writing, anyway. No one has figured out if there was actually a body in the car that’s buried in my dad’s back yard – that story’s in the book, along with the time I caught myself on fire and my kid was laughing too hard to blow me out, how to charge a 1600 pound, angry mama cow (and why you’d want to), odd Amish courting rituals (involving frogs), and how not to fall out of your husband’s Peterbilt as he’s driving down the interstate.) There is a lot of faith, family and fun in my fiction books, and WARNING: my real life has a ton of all that, too. But life on the farm is not always fun. Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes it hurts and those stories are in here, too. Thanks so much for choosing to spend a little time with me today! Love, Jessie Reviews for Chickens in Canaan Land: ★★★★★ "This book of newsletters is actually better described as a collection of short, real-life stories by Jessie that will leave you snorting with laughter, and sometimes, struggling with tears. " - Mari ★★★★★ "I absolutely love Jessie Gussman’s books and I always thought we should have to pay for her newsletters, but thank heavens we don’t. This is a book I highly recommend even if you’ve never read a Jessie book you still enjoy the stories of living on the farm being the mother of four and others and the relationship with her and her husband. An absolute treat." - Janalyn ★★★★★ "I've been reading this book to my husband whenever we're riding in his truck together. We're both loving it! Many laugh out loud moments!" - Amber ★★★★★ "This is a faith-based writing that is so touching that it not only will inspire the reader but entertain you in a clean and wholesome way. Jessie’s real-life stories about her family and life on their farm made my day! This really is a must-read charmer!" - Crystal ★★★★★ "This book had me laughing out loud, crying, and wondering how in the world people can live with themselves sometimes. I truly don't know when Jessie finds time in her life to write, but when she does, it's an experience. I love Jessie's honesty, spirit, love, generosity, human-ness, kindness, parenting style, relationship with God." - Janet Books in the Stories from Jessie Gussman's newsletter series: 1. Chickens in Canaan Land 2. The Farm on Naked Creek 3. Beef Below the Blue Ridge 4. Stories from the Promised Land

Canaan Moss is a farmer, a man struggling to make a living from the land his family has owned for generations. It’s difficult to accomplish in the 21st century Ozarks in a remote corner of Missouri but he’s scraping by, one day at a time, living lonely. He meets Kaitlin Koch, a local journalist who wants to do a feature about his farm but before it can happen, law enforcement agents descend on his farm. He’s arrested for a marijuana field he didn’t grow and for pot stored in an old barn. Cane’s innocent but no one except Kaitlin and his cousin believe that. As he tries to prove his innocence, he’s shunned in the community. After the true perpetrators break in and beat him so badly Cane ends up in the hospital, he’s in danger. He recognized the two men who hurt him and if he doesn’t get someone to listen, he can’t clear his name and he may just end up dead. Finding a happy ending with the woman he loves seems a remote possibility.

Land of Canaan is a collection of short vignettes recounting the experience of a suburban family that moved to the country in the late 1950's. The head of the family, Dr. Heimat, acquiesced to his wife's desire to move to a farm. He is soon embroiled with the wily folk of rural eastern Kansas as well as his children, some of whom cannot wait to begin feeding chickens and ducks and larger farm animals. The eccentricities of the Heimat neighbors and some of the visitors to the farm are portrayed. The beautiful grass and woodlands eventually vanish along with the unique country folk to be replaced by two- and three-story homes on tree-lined avenues. It is illustrated throughout with ink wash drawings.

Hey, Everyone! I’m Jessie Gussman and I write love stories. I guess some people think that a writer’s life is glamorous. Especially a romance writer. This book was written to disabuse that notion. I’m kidding. That’s not the purpose of this book, although it’s a definite effect. It’s true that I’m a USA Today bestselling author, which, I have to admit, surprises me as much as anyone. My husband and I also own a trucking company. We have two twenty thousand bird free-range laying houses (our eggs are probably in your grocery store!), raise grass-fed beef cattle, homeschool our kids and are on a first-name basis with the Game Warden and the state police (mostly because of the kids and not really my husband). I frequently cook for strangers, occasionally hide from my family and own more fire extinguishers than the average person (for good reason). Sometimes, when I sit down at my computer, instead of writing the next chapter in my latest romance, I write about my life. Sometimes it’s fun. Sometimes funny. Sometimes it’s heartbreaking and sometimes you just see life through the eyes of a farmer, growing older every day and maybe just a little wiser. We do a lot of laughing, some crying and every day is a learning experience wrapped in the love of God and held in His hand. That’s what I share with you in this book. Thanks so much for spending some time with me today! Love, Jessie Reviews for Stories from Jessie Gussman's Newsletter: ★★★★★ "Jessie is an author that can make getting bunted by a cow or helping a cow have a calf interesting and educational. She has so much faith and her kindness always shows thru. Her books and emails just put a smile on your face - she has a way to balance when things may not go the way intended but she has a positive attitude and is a Wonderful Author." - Bets ★★★★★ "Jessie has a way with words that grab you and hold you in each story so much that will have you laughing, wishing you were there to see it in person. When you start this book, be prepared to sit down, get a drink, get comfortable and be sure to have a snack because once you start you won't get up for quite a few hours and it is well worth it." - KRP ★★★★★ "I have never laughed so hard! I have always enjoyed receiving Jessie Gussman's newsletters as they pull me right in, make me feel like I am right there, and make me laugh a lot. I enjoyed this book as it is a collection of those wonderful newsletters with everything from stories about her children, God, her faith, and the farm and farm animals. I will warn you that you will be laughing a lot too. It is just impossible not to." - lori ★★★★★ "I do not review a great many non-fiction or contemporary books but Jessie Gussman is an author I admire. In this charming book, you will be invited into her home. Get yourself a cup of coffee to enjoy as this author share humor and wisdom into what life on the farm really is. Her faith shines through so brightly! I think this was a wonderful book and a big thank you to the author for sharing." - Crystal ★★★★★ "This book had me laughing out loud in parts. Jessie writes in a way that it feels like you're there. You can seriously picture what she's writing!" - Amber Books in the Stories from Jessie Gussman's newsletter series: 1.

Sin cannot be gotten rid of by sinfulness. Unrighteousness cannot sprout forth righteousness. An unjust condition cannot bring about justification. From an unsanctified condition, sanctification can never grow. From unholiness, holiness cannot possibly be brought into reality. And an incapacitated moral nature can never bring about a proper moral condition. Trying within our own strength, ability, and capacities to bring about what God desires for us, is like trying to get flood waters to dry up by throwing buckets of water on them. It could also be compared to trying to put out a fire with a flame thrower, or even like trying to paint a wall white, by using black paint. Hi, my name is Dennis Lackie. I was born in Gladwin, Michigan, but not long afterwards moved with my parents to Kent City, where they raised me on a dairy farm until I was eleven. We then moved to a small town where my Dad started developing property on a lake. After graduating from Chippewa Hills High School in 1968, I got a job at Oldsmobile in Lansing, Michigan, from where I retired about ten years ago. I also graduated from SDS, a computer programming school and spent time in Tulsa where I enrolled in Rhema Bible Training Center the year after that school was established. I learned some very important things through attending Rhema: and I'm thankful for all of the Lords tender mercies.
