sons was not
ministry...it is the
highest call there is
for a woman..to be
a mom..I am very
very blessed that
God has given you
that incredible
privelege.
Blessings on you

Dear Ann, What an
incredible blessing
and encouragement
you were to me
when you first
starting writing
your books...I
followed you.felt
like I knew you,
rejoiced with you
and felt much
empathy for your
pain...I read
Seduced by Success
and I heard you tell
of Will's passing on
Dobson's Focus on
the Family. I am
delighted that the
Lord is raising you
up in ministry once
again...I was
pleased to find your
site this evening
and felt that I
needed to add my
comments as well.
God is so good..he
turns our mourning
into
dancing...Praise
His Name..I will
pray for you as you
begin this new
adventure in your
walk with the Lord.
Blessings, Kathy
Renn

WOW! I am so blessed
to see your sweet face
again. A friend found
you on FB tonight and
told me, so I wanted
you to know how much
I've missed connecting
with you. I lost track of
you 10 years ago, with
an address in
Oakbrook, IL. Calendar
we'd sent returned with
no forwarding address.
Do you give out your
address anymore? We're
still in our home on the
mountain in Eagle
River, Alaska. Breezy,
31, is married to Brian
and they gave us our
first grandchild, Allaire
Kiersten Lewis, 13
months ago today. They
live in Pearland, TX,
near Houston, where
we are currently
visiting:) Christian is
25, living in Valencia,
CA and has been
looking for a job for 7
months.... He is a
writer, with no outlet,
at the moment, except
blogging. He taught
English for 2 years after
graduation in Hawaii,
and moved back to the
mainland in June.
Dmitri, 23, and
developmentally
delayed, left home at
18 and has been in
trouble ever since;
wants NO authority in
his life:( Svetlana, 20,
is way developmentally
delayed, but loves
JESUS and is still under
our guardianship. She is
a gem.
YOU ARE LOVED! I am
forever grateful for the
time you spent with us
in Alaska and for your
beautiful transparency
throughout your life.
Much love and lots of
hugs, Sandi
TO GOD BE THE
GLORY!

Dear Ann,
I have loved all of
your books. Which
book is the story
about Chad and the
valentines. That is
my favorite!
Karen Doyle Buckwalter kbuckwalter@att.net (01.14.2010 @ 06:52:25)
have wanted to
meet/hear you in
person forever! how
can I?

Today I was
substitute teaching
in a very difficult
school, we have 30
minutes every day
of silent reading.
The teacher I was
substituting for had
your book, i love
the word
impossible in her
library and I picked
it up. It was
incredible, I have
struggles with
depression in the
winter and it was
so great to be
reminded of the
happy loving part
of me. It was so
encouraging. It can
be hard to be full of
love for people
because you are
venerable and
people who are not
gifted in mercy
have a hard time
understanding.
My church is
experiencing a very
difficult transition
as the result of a
moral failure in
leadership. My
church is a
restoration church,
which really means
that people are
walking out of all
kinds of things
here;
homosexuality,
pornography
addictions, drug
additions, broken
marriages,
alcoholism, drug
addiction and, my
heart often breaks
for them. We are
weird because we
are sometimes
known as the gay
church or the sex
church, and when
people fall, we
want to restore
them. It is an
incredible place full
of all the things life
should be full of.
I was searching the
internet to buy your
book and I read
your bio on your
webpage, I read
about your struggle
with addiction. It
was hard because I
identified with your
spirit so much in
your book that I
just felt like it was
another
disappointment and
that no one can
ever just get it
right. Then I felt
release, I don’t
have to get it
right. Perfection
does not exist on
earth. Thank you
for being open, for
loving deeply and
unashamedly
without
apologizing, and
still being a sinner.
I struggle with a
spirit of
perfectionism, and
I just felt like I was
so much like you
that I felt like you
had it together,
just because I love
people and I want
them to all love
me, that’s not
where I live. I exist
apart from my
dream to have a
perfect, clean,
exemplary life that
everyone can look
to as a standard.
God just really used
you today to speak
directly to my heart
and in my
situation. It fit like
a puzzle piece, all
the weird corners
and funny shapes.

Ann,
I am SO glad I
found you here.
The memories have
come flooding back-
me as a college
freshman,
tentatively poking
my toe back into
the Christian world
and inhabitants I'd
run so hard from
and who I was sure
would reject me
when they found
out all I'd done.
I heard you at a
conference, and I
think my mouth fell
open and stayed
that way the whole
message. Finally, a
Christian woman,
who without
judgement or
condemnation,
showed me th
character of my
Jesus, Whom I
adore. It
completely changed
me. I got all your
books. I wrote to
you, and you wrote
me back, more
than once!
Incredible. Once
again, showing me
that my Jesus is
just like that- truly
caring about the
individual, full of
love and
compassion. I
learned so much
about my Savior
through you.
Several years ago, I
found some of your
newer books and
was overwhelmed
by your honesty.
I'm on a quest to
live a life of
transparency,
maskk-free, and
your book, Seduced
By Success, gave
me such courage.
I love you, Ann,
and I pray for you.
You are such a
blessing and an
inspiration.
Always in our
precious Jesus,
Shelly Morales

Ann, it is so
exciting to see
your books
(republished)
today in the BCCC
bookstore! I was
so blessed and
encouraged as I
read them in the
1970's during a
very difficult time
in my life. Now I
have
Granddaughters
that I can share
them with now. I
love you Ann.
Helen emed@att.net (01.03.2010 @ 21:06:55)
Ann,
I found you last
summer after many
years of wondering
what happened to
you. I'm so sorry
to hear that you
lost Will. I read
many of your books
and loved the
simple, but eloquent
way you show your
love for Jesus and
the world. I was
excited to see that
you are writing a
new book. At the
time, I thought it
will be a good read,
but won't pertain to
me because I'm
happily married.
Well, six months
later I sit here
devastated and
confused. My
husband of 12 years
walked out 2 months
ago. He said that
he didn't love me
anymore and didn't
like the person I'd
become. Well, as
all couples do, we
had our share of
problems, but I
never realized how
bad it was. I
thought we were
still communicating,
spending time
together, being
physical, etc.
Apparently, it
wasn't enough for
him and he now has
an apartment and I
just found out that
he has someone else.
I don't know what
will happen, but the
future for our
marriage looks
bleak. He doesn't
want to go to
counseling with me.
"It's over and you
need to move on."
I'm every second of
the day resting in
the loving arms of
my Jesus. He is
sustaining me when I
don't think I can go
on. Enough of my
rambling. I've been
reading your blog
and find such
encouragement.
Thank you. I look
forward to reading
your book when it
comes out and
keeping in contact.
You are such an
inspiration. God
Bless you.

We first met at the
Crystal Cathedral at
a Women's
Conference in
1976. Later at
what was then
called the Glass
convention in
Pasadena. I've
read all your
books. I just
recently moved to
Idaho. I decided I
would start over.
Put all the books in
order of date
published and
started again. How
fun! The cities
where you spoke
used to just be
names, and I would
continue with the
story. Wow, now I
know where Idaho
Falls is! I'm in Post
Falls, ID. Yesterday
I read that you
were asked to
make an extra stop
and speak to
students at
Washington State
University in
Pullman. What!
That meant nothing
the first time,
when my nieces
and nephews were
babies. Now....
they all graduated
from WSU (at least
the five that live in
WA, the other five
are in Missouri).
And a chapter on
St. Marie's. The
parents of my
niece's husband live
in St. Marie's. I am
really enjoying
rereading your
books, not only for
the great power of
love they have for
Christ, but a totally
different
experience from
the first time,
because now I
recognize these
places. So fun.
God bless you Ann.
I've piced up the
the blogs that you
have a new book
coming out. Can't
wait to read it.
With love in
Christ, Chris.
Amy Beth amybethbullard@gmail.com (12.26.2009 @ 15:10:43)
I was wondering if
there's an email or
postal address to
write to Ann... I
tried the one listed
above, but it
doesn't seem to be
allowing emails to
go through. Could
someone let me know
if they have this
information?
Thanks!

Dear Ann,
I was straightening
up my book shelf
this morning and
found several
books that I have
by you. I started
thinking about you
and how you were
doing because you
had such a huge
influence on me in
my late teens.
When I was around
18 I read your book
I Gave God Time
and decided that if
you could pray for a
sign from the Lord
regarding the man
that he had for you
then it was alright
that I do the same.
I prayed that the
man that God had
for me would look
for me in the
Junior High Sunday
School room where
I was a counselor.
Well, it happened a
lot sooner then I
thought it would
(when I was 19!)
and next month
John and I will be
celebrating our
24th anniversary. I
cried when I just
read that Will had
gone to be with the
Lord. After reading
that book and your
book And with the
Gift Came
Laughter, I felt like
I knew the two of
you personally. I
hope that you can
find comfort in the
Lord every day and
in the knowledge
that you helped a
gawky, self
concious 18 year
old have hope in
what the Lord had
planned for her.
(Oh, and Happy
Birthday!)
Take care,
Lisa Jones

Hello Ann, I am
living in Jamaica, I
recently heard your
testimony on Focus
on the Family. I am
trying to get
pregnant,
unsuccessful so far,
but still trusting
God. I have learnt
to trust in God's
timing and just
REST in Him. Your
testimony really
ministered to me.
Thanks so much.

Dear Ann, I am
impressed by your
book I'm Out to
Change My World.
It was helping me
to see how you
share Jesus with a
one little boy. Your
book was a
blessing. May God
continue to pour
His blessings upon
you and your
children! Love you,
Mariana from

Hello Ann - I still
have all of your
books that you
personnaly
autographed for
me. My 16 yr old
daughter found the
books and has read
them all. I am very
grateful for your
writings and your
ability to share on
such a basic level
where we all live.
It is wonderful to be
able to follow you
on FaceBook and on
your web site.
Your entire family
has a very special
place in my family's
heart! Be Blessed
this Holiday Season.

Ann I just
wondered if you
were still in
Fresno? I travel
the State for
Moody Bible
Institute and
thought I would
say hello
sometime. It's
been many years
since I saw you
last at the Red
Lion in Portland at
a Christianity
Today
Conference. We
are very excited
about your new
book you are
working on. It
would be neat if it
was on Moody
Press:). Lord
Bless, Rick

will encourage you.
It was very
powerful for me.
Would love to hear
from you.

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,
John Nielsen nielsenhomeimprovement@gmail.com (11.05.2009 @ 21:01:04)
I am so touched by
your testimony on
Focus On The
Family, Where can
I get a copy??
