"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16, KJV).
It is so simple it is often misunderstood or unaccepted. It is a gift of love from God to man that is so precious and pure that it can't be understood. Man's meager mind cannot conceive of a perfect God sacrificing His only Son for imperfect man. This love defies reasoning.
Sometimes, even Christians can't believe they really are loved so freely. Man usually sees God's love as having conditions and a price. This is an age when nothing is free, so how can love – a commodity most highly prized – not also demand a payment?
Yes, God's unconditional love is beyond our comprehension because there is no human love to match it. Man does not deserve it; it can't be earned. It is given freely, it does not wax cold.
Be encouraged by this; man's love wavers and is conditional. But, God's love is for you, unconditional, born of a mercy and grace that transcends all faults and failures. God loves you because you are special and important to Him. Rest now in His love. Be free from condemnation of the enemy, your failures, or the circumstances of the day. Face tomorrow with His love – it will never fail!
Father in heaven, how perfect is Your love for me! Even though I don't deserve it, thank you for loving me. Thank you for this day You gave me, wrapped in love from You. Thank you for this night of rest now, for even sleep is an expression of Your loving kindness. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Ashley's Unforgettable Summer by Grace Reddick
Debut author Grace Reddick has written a children's story that is full of imagination and impossibilities that are sure to delight young children! Rich with colorful illustrations, I think your family will enjoy this one!"
Ashley's Unforgettable Summer" is the tale of a young girl named Ashley and her unforgettable summer--oops, sorry about that...been helping my son with book reports lately:-) (Just kidding, Book Kid!)
Ashley and her family take a trip to Africa, but it isn't the kind of family vacation Ashley expected. Instead of luxury, they stay in huts, travel by land rovers called a Wacky Bus, and see the real Africa.
Unexpectedly (and unwisely in my parental opinion), Ashley's parents let her take home an exotic pet as a 'souvenir', and you'll never guess what she picks out! Okay, you probably will, so I'll just spill it
......a chimp named Tina. And spill it is a good term, because Tina tends to get into EVERYTHING and spill and squirt and spread...like a toddler on Pixie Sticks! Ashley and her friend Rylee spend their summer chasing after the chimpanzee and keeping up with her antics.
Kids will love the trouble Tina gets into. She's a female version of Curious George, with a hint more mischief and a bit more mess! This would be a wonderful series that will keep children entertained and expand their imaginations.
Just do NOT run out and buy them a chimp! Buy them this book instead:-) I'm giving "Ashley's Unforgettable Summer" four out of five bookmarks, with a whisk broom as a charm...she's going to need it!
Happy Reading!

ASHLEY’S UNFORGETTABLE SUMMER by Grace Reddick
June 30, 2008 by pumpupyourbookpromotion
Ashley’s Unforgettable SummerAuthor: Grace ReddickPublisher: XlibrisRating: Reviewed by: Dorothy Thompson.
Who wouldn’t love to own a monkey even though she sure could get into a lot of trouble! That’s the premise of Grace Reddick’s new children’s book, Ashley’s Unforgettable Summer.
Ashley goes on a trip with her parents, only it’s not quite the vacation she thought it was going to be. Instead of a tropical desert, it’s the wilds of Africa where Ashley has to stay in a hut instead of a nice, air-conditioned hotel room. But, Ashley rather enjoys her unfamiliar surroundings and makes the best of it.
Her dad takes her to the largest pet shop in the world and lets her pick out an animal to take back home. She chooses a cute chimpanzee and named her Tina.
Arriving back home, Tina turns out to be quite a handful, getting into all sorts of trouble and leaving Ashley scrambling to clean up her mess before her parents found out. All in all, Tina turns out to be Ashley’s best friend and that summer turns out to be Ashley’s most unforgettable summer.
I really enjoyed this book, but I didn’t want to stop finding out about more trouble the little chimp could get into. Perhaps there’s a second book so I can have my Tina fix? ;o)
Ashley’s Unforgettable Summer by Grace Reddick is sure to be a hit with the pre-school crowd and monkey lovers alike!

Local Author Visits S. Effingham Middle School
Ellabell writer a hit with schools.
Special to Bryan County Now Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 12:30 am.
Since the publication of her first book, "Ashley's Unforgettable Summer," in 2007, Grace Reddick's life has been a whirlwind. When writing her first book, she did not realize the tremendous impact it would have on people.
"I have always enjoyed writing. I began to journal many years ago, and found it to bring healing for my mind and spirit. It also enables me to seek and express my inner self," Reddick said.
Reddick has been invited to participate at many school events throughout the local area where she has spoken to hundreds of students about her book. Her granddaughter and inspiration for the book, Ashley, is a teacher at Sand Hill Elementary in Rincon.
Reddick enjoys being given the opportunity to speak at the various schools. She captivates the students with her story about Ashley and her unforgettable and challenging summer. Not only does she participate on various school programs, she also donates books to all the schools and libraries she has been invited to. She wants children to have access to the book, and believes that reading is a vital part of learning.
"I am grateful my book is helping others, and children are reading it," Reddick said. On Nov. 14, she is scheduled to participate in South Effingham Middle School's Annual Career Day.
Reddick has received book reviews from as far away as Melbourne, Australia. Book reviews have also come from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Virginia California and Utah.
Since becoming a published author, Reddick has joined various writers' groups. She is a member of the International Society of Poets, a member of the Christian Pen, a member of Authors' Den, and is also a member of CWTR (Christian Women Take Root). She is proud to be a Ministry Partner of the Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Reddick is currently working on her second book, "Forsaken Land." Her second book is also a children's book. "I hope it will be published the first part of next year," she said.
"Once my second book is completed, I plan to write on a personal and spiritual level. My deepest desire is to uplift and bring renewed hope to readers who may be experiencing difficult life circumstances."
Reddick grew up in Savannah, and now lives in Ellabell. You can visit her Web site at http://www.grace4books.com/.

My review:I enjoyed this book, but I took it in to school and read it to my 7 and 8 year old students. They LOVED it! Most children are animal lovers and they fell in love with Tina the baby chimpanzee. The children could relate to all of the trouble Tina got into. They said things like, “Tina reminds me of my brother, whenever he is quiet for a long time he is usually into something - just like Tina.” “The monkey reminds me of my little sister when she is sleeping - I love to watch her sleep.” “Ashley reminds me of myself - I like to dress up my dog like she likes to dress up Tina.” The children loved the book, they thought it was funny. They became interested in knowing more about Africa (where Tina came from).
We loved the illustrations. Charr Floyd did a fabulous job capturing the silly monkey, Tina in all of her antics.Each time I brought the book out to read to the children, they became excited. They were engaged throughout and had questions and comments. This is a great book for 9-12 year old children to read independently, but I would also highly recommend it as a read aloud to younger children - even as young as five or six years old.

Ashley's Unforgettable Summer Makes for Great Summertime Read

Dr. Edith W. Anderson, Freelance Writer of the Bryan County Now, Savannah Morning News and Hinesville Coastal Courier says ASHLEY'S UNFORGETTABLE SUMMER is an excellent book for school libraries. "...it's an excellent children's book. Ashley, the main character, captures your attention with her unpredictable chimpanzee, Tina. The colorful illustrations blend in well with the story that is being told. This author is to be commended and I strongly recomment it for readers of all ages."
Grace Reddick was born and grew up in Savannah, GA and moved to Ellabell, GA in 1970. She is a born again child of God, and has been a member of Faulkville Baptist Church since 1995.
She is a member of the International Society of Poets, a member of The Christian Pen and a member of Authors Den. Grace has donated books to all the school's and libraries she has been invited to. She wants children to have access to the book, and believes that reading is a vital part of learning.
Grace has always loved to write for her own pleasure. She began to journal many years ago, and found it to bring healing for her mind and spirit. It also enabled her to seek and express her inner self.
Grace has written poetry for the local paper, as well as articles and poetry upon request. She had always admired writers, and hoped that one day she would be able to achieve that same prestige . After a short period she put her writings aside for several years. She wasn't quite sure why, maybe the timing wasn't right. Last year Grace realized that she should pursue the talent that God had given her. She once again began to create a story, populate it with characters, and act out the ideas that were buzzing around in her head.
