I have followed you in the past, haven't thought too much about you and the books I have in the attic and the ones I have given away until early this morning when I got a nudge from God that I need to re- read your books and share them with others and also to ask Jesus to help heal a family problem. Always loved your message, God Bless you

Hello I am searching for audio or text for an older radio broadcast with Ann Kiemel Anderson. Unfortunately, the program you are referring to, "Finding Life At Death's Doorstep" which aired in 2001, is no longer available from Focus on the Family. Thank you,

I've admired your precious love for Jesus for years, as has my sister-in- "love", Diane. She lost her husband (my brother) in a plane accident 8 years ago, has delt w/ breast cancer, a lose of a child & is an inspiration to others because of her spiritual strength in never faltering in her walk w/ God. As a sweet gift to her, I'd love to have her meet you or talk to you on the phone. She has all your books & loves reading your blogs. I live in Clovis, Ca. & would love to meet you. Diane lives most of the time on her ranch in CO, but spends a lot of her time in CA. because 3 of her children & all 5 of her grandchildren live here. What a treasure it would be if she could talk to you sometime, even if it's on the phone. To use each day to reach out & touch the lives of others for Christ, makes me want to "tap dance"!!! What a joy knowing Him. I'm 67 & each year gets even more exciting!!! Love In Christ, Susan Schulz suzpdow@sbcglobal. net

Hi Ann, Just read your latest post. Is your son by any chance in Denver (I thought that because we have had snow for the last couple of days). If so, we'd be glad to recommend churches or have him over for dinner or just be there if he needed a family away from home. I'm a single mom with two teenage boys.

Ann, I have a story I want to share with you. You may not remember my phone call but God has used your true words to encourage my faith. Thank you for your encouragement that the Lord gives and the Lord takes away and whatever the Lord does is good. For more than 18 years I have been watching the Lord unfold this beautiful story. I will share it when I have more time but am so very grateful to you and to our Great God. I am tracing the hand of God and there is such joy. He is good that is why whatever He does is good! Thank you, Ann, for encouraging me to put my hand out and to pray asking God to give and take as He will and to hold all things loosely. Thank you for praying with me so many years ago. It is such a beautiful adventure and one so worth the living. There is a story of redemption and love to be told. More later! Wish I could attach a picture. A picture tells a thousand words!

Hi Ann, I've been trying to find a way to get back in touch with you since 1993! So glad to see you online now. I used to be Rachel Brown from New Zealand and was Bill Gothard's secretary at the time when you came to stay there for awhile in '93. I have so many great memories of wonderful times with you and the boys and Will. Remember Melissa, Michael, Nathan and me? We had lots of dinners together, chats, walks, laughs and chocolate cake! So many memories, and I have thought of you so many times over the years and wanted to get back in touch. Finding your website now I feel I'm catching up on 15 years of news. I am married now (12 years), and we lost our first baby to miscarriage and I remember so wanting to talk to you at that time. Since then, God has blessed us with four children. I would so love to hear from you again- hoping you remember me and those times we had in Chicago. With love, Rachel

Ann, I hope your new book tells whether your former mother-in-law has kept in contact with you and your sons.Godspeed.

Ann, Ms. Kiemel, You have captivated my heart with your spirit and presence. I have only learned of you recently from a friend all the way in Africa but you are by far the nearest and dearest to my heart. I mean this not to be a cliche' but from the depths of my heart, pray that I will one day meet you and speak face to face. God bless you abundantly above and beyond all you could ask or think. Love you! Melissa

Great to see your own website and read all of the comments. Great to hear about your reconnection with Joseph and his family. Seems impossible for him to be 42. But then I think about how old I am now. That was a trip I will never forget. Life changing for me. Thank you again for that experience. Think of you often and treasure the memories of years ago. Praying for you and your family. Love, Bonnie

Pam drpamdsmith@aol.com (10.03.2009 @ 09:31:56)
Ann, your simple statement (in It's Incredible) became my life's mantra from the first reading of your book in 1977 when I was a freshman in college: "The challenge of my life is trying to be what Jesus would be if He lived in person where I do." Thank you for giving then and thank you for giving now. I'm eager to reconnect with you--via book and blog. Your ministry continues in my life.

Cynthia Machner cmachner@gmail.com (10.01.2009 @ 19:16:47)
I am looking still for the old tapes or maybe CD's now. Ann's Books used to have tapes attched to them. I really would be helped to get some of the old tapes Ann use to have. Please, if any one in this blog could help me. I would be so greatful. I am in a trial right now where loving my enemies is really a skill I need to practice. Thank you for any help you could give me.

Cynthia Machner cmachner@gmail.com (10.01.2009 @ 18:26:11)
Ann, congrats on your new website. I am running with you! I am changing the world too, only my ministry is like Jeremiah the Prophet's ministry. I have to take many tough stands. You have helped me learn to speak the truth in love. I have so wanted to be just like you,but now I realize that the ministry I am called to is different still Love has to be our major component and so we have that in common. I love the colors on the website, and everything about it. Please pray for my neighborhood.

Pam Houston pamhous@sbcglobal.net (09.28.2009 @ 13:30:44)
Dear Ann, I'm believing and hoping with you for a mighty God sized miracle for your precious sister Jan. "I love the word impossible..." Your boys sound amazing, what a blessing to your heart of hearts. I'm so glad for your new website and the wide open door of opportunity set before you, to help us learn how to change our world. Lovingly, Pam

Ann – Wow, I rejoice in your faithfulness. I began reading your books in high school. While they were an immense blessing then, little did I know the role they would play later in my life. I wrote you a couple of times during high school, and I was always amazed by your personal response. I cherished your replies. I read every book – each one several times. And then, when your life did not include writing new books, I finished college, started a career, got married, and then went running back to your books and the honest wisdom I found in them when life took its unpredictable turn. In ’96 my beautiful first born daughter, Taylor, died unexpectedly and without warning. I was devastated. Everyone around me kept offering the same sad words, “Oh, Christina, I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine what pain you are feeling.” With very slight variations, those were the only words I heard during the first week or so after she died. I felt surrounded by people who couldn’t imagine, and all I wanted was someone who could look me in the eyes and tell me how to take the first step towards healing. At Taylor’s funeral, as I walked down the aisle to begin the service, I was struck by the look on everyone’s faces. They all had the same look. It was a mixture of shock and fear. To me they were all screaming at God to keep this from them. A pleading of don’t let this ever be me. In a church that was packed with people, I felt utterly alone. So, I began to pray. As the first song played, I prayed. I told God how alone I felt. I told God how incapable I was of walking this road alone. I kept telling God that I couldn’t do this alone. Then, I stopped. Maybe I was out of words or out of breath. Whatever the reason, I sat there in silence. Then I heard God speak. He spoke so clearly and sweetly. He said simply, “I know how you feel. I had to watch mine die too.” That’s all it took. I’d been raised in church all my life. I’d celebrated Easter year after year. But, now I understood. God had been a grieving parent. He walked this road because of my sin. He loved me that much. I felt the comfort of the Holy Spirit. I knew I was not alone. I knew He would guide me through the darkness and the pain. I swear I felt the weight of that burden lift off my shoulders. Now, it was a long road. I cried so much. I hurt so badly. But, I knew the goodness of God, and I knew that He had not abandoned me. Rather, he was leading me by the hand through this very dark path. A few days after Taylor’s funeral, I went on a hunt to find my copy of all your books. You had written about your own grief. It had been years since I’d read them, but I desperately needed help with this load of grief. Your words were so precious to me. You reminded me of God’s abiding love. You reminded me that I could make grief my friend and not my enemy. Ann, thank you for being honest. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad. Thank you for remaining faithful. Thank you for having a faith that is real. So, here I am in 2009 the mother of two wonderful kids, Jackson (12) and Gracen (9). Eric and I have been married almost 19 years. In the almost 14 years since Taylor’s death, we’ve experienced a business loss, financial loss, and most recently Eric was laid off almost a year ago. These have been difficult years, but God has remained faithful and true. He has been our provider and protector. I was so glad to find you on Facebook this summer and to find that you have have kept the faith and you are still being a light in the darkness. I ran across your book, Seduced by Success, in the most interesting place last week. Seeing it prompted me to finally sit down and write you this letter. I’m a GED tutor at a homeless shelter here in town. People have donated lots of books to the shelter, and it’s amazing to me how much these guys read. I was scouring the shelves with one of the guys looking for just the right book. I’m a librarian at a private Christian school, here in Tyler, TX. The only thing that qualifies me for this job is my love for books. Seduced by Success was sitting there on the shelf. Wow, there you are waiting to bless my guys at the shelter. What a small world. Isn’t God amazing? Ann, be blessed today. You have been such a blessing to me. The Blessing – John Waller Let it be said of us while we walked among the living let it be said of us by the ones we leave behind let it be said of us that we lived to be a blessing for life let it be said of us that we gave to reach the dying let it be said of us by the fruit we leave behind let it be said of us that our legacy is blessing for life this day you set life, you set death right before us, this day every blessing and curse is a choice now and we will choose to be a blessing for life let it be said of us that our hearts belonged to Jesus let it be said of us that we spoke the words of life let it be said of us that our heritage is blessing for life (chorus) for your Kingdom for our Children for the sake of every nation

Hi Ann, so Nice to see what you are doing with the site, and am looking forward to when you are able to make a recent speaking engagement message available as well. God bless you! Livia seems to still be doing well, also-- Love, Rob

Thank you, Ann, for sharing your story. It has helped my sister, who is my best friend, to better cope with her loss and broken heart from three miscarriages this year. She has said, "no one must understand what I'm going through." I certainly don't have words to comfort her. Yet after hearing your story, she's found that she's not alone and that God, above all, knows our suffering. Thank you again.
