This fascinating true story of a young life with deep insights to share about existence kept my attention endlessly. Anna's perspective had no walls of limitation. To me, Anna has become a definition of hope and encouragement through love and curiosity aimed at people and relating to those people. This book can easily restore your beliefs in the dreams you once gave up. I also suggest reading the sequel ANNA, MISTER GOD, and the BLACK KNIGHT from Harper Collins Publishers. Thank you Mr. Fynn for sharing and extending the love and wonderful personality of Anna.

First and foremost, I am an atheist. To my absolute core.

I was given my copy of this book when I was 17 (I'm 31 at the time of this writing). I have given away countless copies and I buy it whenever I find it, just to share it with another person.

I knew Anna dies. It said so in the beginning. But when she died, the means, the way, the reality of it was too much for me. I vaguely recall screaming "Noooo!" and hurling the book across the room. It was days before I picked it up and finished the last few pages.

I felt like I'd lost Anna.

But I didn't because she stayed with me. Or rather, her wonderment, her curiosity, her fearlessness.

To me this was not a particularly religious story. Odd thing to say. I take this book to mean that you should explore, and question, the world around you. Do not accept the answers you are given. Name things for yourself. Anna chose Mister God. I choose Nature. You choose what best suits you.

Anna is the perfect teacher. Her simple wisdom will touch you.
I read this book 15 years ago and it changed me. Let Anna teach you.

This is one of the best books I have read!
Anna is true to herself and knows God in a very special way. Her friendship with Fynn is incouraging.
I love the way she looks at the (christian)worlds little boxes they put God and people in...
Big thums up for Anna!

Anna, at age four leaves a home of abuse and adopts Fynn's family. Her love of God, numbers, language, people, and nature are nurtured by Fynn's interest in science. Fynn takes the reader on a ride of laughs and tears, amazement, and discovery that illuminates the wonder of this child who matter-of-factly knows "Mr.God" and feels it is her business to discover all the beauty He has put around her, and to love it, "with all of me!" A must-read for anyone who wants to feel the exuberance of childhood and see the possibilities of the human soul.

THIS BOOK WAS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ, AND I HAVE READ A LOT OF BOOKS. ANNA IS FASCINATED WITH HOW MANY DIFFERENT WAYS GOD HAS ATTEMPTED TO MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN THROUGH HIS CREATION. THOSE WHO LOOK FOR HIS TRUTH WILL FIND HIM. ANNA IS NOT RELIGIOUS BY ANY MEANS. SHE IS CONSUMED WITH DISCOVERING GOD THROUGH SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS. ANNA DRAWS FYNN AND THE READER INTO HER DISCOVERIES OF MISTER GOD.
