Gary Anderson's Books

Gary Anderson has been called "one of the Midwest's premiere humorists," but his thoughtful books also contain a healthy sprinkling of inspiration, as well. Many of the short stories in his books first appeared in the popular "Wit and Wisdom" column of Iowa REC News, which he's written since 1996, reaching 165,000 readers every month.

Gary's family-oriented stories take gentle aim at the human condition, and whether it's through the heartstrings or the funny bone, Gary's books and stories have touched thousands of lives in very special ways.

All of Gary's books are available through his publisher's website. Just click on the book you'd like to examine more closely. You can even browse inside the covers and read some of his humorous and inspirational stories before you order!
