583.0. "Mister God, This Is Anna" by CLUE::PAINTER (Imagine all the people...) Mon Nov 30 1987 17:21

    I am in the process of reading the most incredible book.  The title
    is "Mister God, This Is Anna".
        ------------------------
    
    It is about a 4-year-old girl who was abused earlier in life, but
    who runs away from that home to find a 19-year-old fellow named
    Fynn who becomes her 'student'.  The book is about their adventures
    in discovering the meaning of life together.
    
    Her approach to God and to all things in life are so magnificent
    (and very close to my own) that on every page there seems to be
    one mystery of life solved....and of course, squillions more 
    questions to find the answers to.
                                                
    If there is only one book you read within the next year, let it
    be this one.  It is $2.95 (US) and 180 paperback pages long (yes,
    even before reading any of Peck's works (;^), it's that good).
    
    I'd be interested in finding out other impressions if anyone else
    reads or has read this in the past.

	Thanks for the suggestion, Cindy. Who's the author? Carla

	The author is simply "Fynn" - it's a biographical account of the time he and Anna spent together. Must second Cindy's opinion - The book is Super! Have read it several times over the last 5 years or so and always find something new I missed before. Highly Recommended!

583.4	God, Anna and Fynn	LASSIE::MARIGOWDA		`Wed Dec 02 1987 01:31`	3
	There is also "Anna's Book" by Fynn. -Geetha
583.5	Same, sequel or embellishment?	CLUE::PAINTER	Imagine all the people...	`Wed Dec 02 1987 19:14`	7
	Geetha, Is there a difference between the two books? If so, what are the differences? Thanks! Cindy
583.6	Anna...	LASSIE::MARIGOWDA		`Fri Dec 04 1987 00:43`	14
	.5: No, they are not same. "Anna's Book" is a compilation of Anna's own writings. In "Mister God, This Is Anna", Fynn tells the story of Anna. In this book he deals with diverse subjects through Anna's eyes(writings). It is equally gentle and sensitive as the other one. Only thing is, it is quite expensive at the moment(it has not come in paper back yet). If you are interested in reading it, let me know I can give it to you to read. -Geetha
583.7	Beautiful writings and other things	CLUE::PAINTER	Imagine all the people...	`Fri Dec 04 1987 14:31`	7
	Thank you - from the references to Anna's writing in the first book, that sounds like it would be well worth reading. Think I will add that to my Xmas list...... Cindy
