5.0 out of 5 stars Anna Awakes God In Everyone, Mar 4 2007

By

webber (ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mister God This Is Anna (Mass Market Paperback)

Even if you aren't the God loving sort how can you resist the fearless love of the little girl Anna in "Mister God,This is Anna"? Fearless, curious and full of love for every living thing around her and a pure delight to learn from, this is Anna. I have never felt God so close, so accessible and so real as when I read this book. Fynn allows us to drop our defenses, our religiosity and our pretensions and open our hearts and minds. The coolest thing about this book is how true to life it is yet how it allows us to look outside of what we normally see to feel the extraordinary God that lives and breathes with us,in us and through us. I highly reccommmend this book for anyone who thinks they're ready to have their heart blown and their minds opened. Love it and live it. It will stay with you for a LOOONG time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fact or fiction..., Jun 14 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mister God This Is Anna (Mass Market Paperback)

I recall reading this book as a child of 10 and liking it, although even then it seemed marvellous to me that a 5-year old girl could spout philosophy and even seem knowledgeable in mathematics, etc. But since the book is advertized as fact, I did not think to pursue that line of thought.

Almost 20 years later, I've hunted down and read excerpts of the book, and I am beginning to be convinced that this book is a work of fiction, and that Anna is the author's creation and may in fact never have existed. Instead, the author used her as a vehicle to market or deliver his beliefs and philosophy on life. Unfortunately, the book has been written so long ago that I cannot, at present, find out whether this suspicion is true, i.e. whether anyone bothered to look into this matter. Therefore, I may not have a definite answer to this.

However, the style of the book seems to confirm this. The religious cliche of the innocence of children who are therefore more in touch with God than adults is the very basis for the book. Anna's outstanding intelligence is further 'proof' that she was in some way extraordinary, and in touch with the laws of the universe (i.e. with a higher power). The fact that she spends all her time thinking about God when most 5-year olds never have an instinctive leaning towards religion, particularly for any type of religion (which is why so many religions exist). And so on...

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure magic contact with knowledge and far beyond..., Nov 25 2002

Jorge Escolan-Suay (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mister God This Is Anna (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this Great Masterpice back in 1977; it was a gift of my late mother (her last gift) and what a gift! Fynn is superb, with that power which is deposited in very simple people, the power of the written word! I wonder Who deposits that virtue in this this "Special Reserve Author". If you start page ONE, you will not stop...and soon you'll be brewing the best coffee or tea, as companion to the inspiring dialogs among a liitle beautiful blessed girl, that will shake our the very foundations of our soul. If you are looking for a religious book this is not for you. "Mister God, this is Anna" is well far beyond any of your expectations; the kind of perfect gift to the people you love at any sort of season. When Anna asks or say something we are amazed...to the point we could feel the magic sensation that HE es right in front of her. Stright fooward conversations, philosophy and over all: love! There is no useful rewiew for this beauty, this one is just an excuse to let you know...that Anna is waiting for You. Thank Fynn. I know that at any forgotten alley of England, you know for suere that your book -the gift from you to all people of sensitive heart is a very precious gift.
