In 1973, when I was twelve years old, I once entered the kitchen while my mother was cooking and my little sister of four years was playing on the kitchen floor. Just when I entered the room my sister suddenly stopped playing with her toys and looked up to my mother and said: "Mum, God can not think, can he? My mother looked at my sister with surprise and said with some confusion in her voice: "Well... I don't know. Why can God not think?" And my little sister answered: "God never has to. He knows eveything!" And that said it all, according to the fact that she continued playing with her toys on the kitchen floor. My mother and I smiled to each other. Later I realized the remark of my sister was bulls eye. Of course God can not think because he knows everything!
This moment, when I entered the kitchen and heard my sister's opinion of God's unability to think I'll never forget and I remembered it even more vividly when reading about Anna.
Anna is the true story about a little girl of five years who still seem to remember her spiritual home. She makes observations about life, God and things as they are all the time in a very touching and striking way. For me - as a practiosioner having a Buddhist background some of Anna's remarks are pure Buddhism. "God is empty" she says and does "not reflect anything".
Many reviewed the book "Mister God, This is Anna" (ISBN 0345327225) and there is not much more to add. Only this: some people who read the book do not believe a little girl like Anna could exist. In that case they really never met my little sister.
Fortunelately via this book you have the chance to meet Anna, in all her openess and honesty and with all her insights. Don't miss this beautiful oportunity.
