Ann Anderson

I remember Ann´s books she wrote when adopting her son´s. I had much gone through the fertility struggles she did. A friend that had recently adopted a son shared her books with me. They were such an encouragement. I loved how everything was in lower case letters except Jesus

This past year I have been meeting many young women hoping to get married. They cling to me with hope since I didn't get married until I was 35. I was trying to remember what steadied me during my 30s and remembered it was Ann's book "I Gave God Time". I must have read that every year until the right guy finally proposed! Then her next book about adoption was a comfort to my sister, and I'm grateful for both of them. Those memories led me to the internet to find out she has had more...

What a great lady When I was in Pasadena College and she lived close she spoke in chapel I remember she shared Yes Lord was first thing she´d say in the morning What a wonderful way to start a day

I was so moved by Ann`s book that I wrote her a note about it. But my extreme shock came when I received a note back from her. I still remember how she signed off with, "May God`s love cover your whole sky." I use that in my notes today. It´s just such a beautiful word picture. May God´s love color all your skies!

I also grew up reading and learning about Jesus from Ann. I too, was inspired to change my world. I´m 64 now and still want to make a difference. Thank you, Ann. I can´t wait to meet you in Heaven!

In 1992, I heard about Ann, and I wrote to her. She sent me the bookI I'm out to change my World and signed it. She put Psalm 91 on it. I have held that Psalm close ever since. I pulled the book off the shelf today, April 15, 2024, and googled her name. I didn't realize she passed. She was instrumental in leading me to Jesus. After all these years, I still have the book and weep at her calling me a "dreamer," as I was out to change my world, too. I look forward to walking with her in...

I have been waking the last few mornings singing, "All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, And He made something beautiful of my life!" So thankful to Ann so many years ago in college for this song and evidence that God is real. That God cares. Thank you. Grateful.

I was just thinking about Ann the other day. There was no one like her-such a visionary and a "spreader" of God's love. The world owes a huge debt to her. She had many obstacles in life, but hung in there and conquered all. I love you Ann. I know a bit about heaven and I am sure that you are leading a glorious life with our Lord.

I was a student at Pasadena College when I heard Ann speak in chapel What an inspiration I later bought a cassette tape and love it What a great loss For over 24 years I have pastored in San Pedro but every time I am at Long Beach First Church of the Nazarene for district gatherings I wonder where all those young people she worked with ended up They were blessed to have her Pastor Karen Wood
