Book Review: Dial 119 by Charity Woon.

 I recently completed my first read through the newly published book Dial 119 by Charity Woon. It was given to me as a graduation present by my mom, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Although my toes suffered, and at points I felt they were at risk of deep injury, I will all the more gladly promote this book!
Its chapters are short and sort of devotional style, but don't let their length fool you! The powerful and convicting messages found in the pages are a result of an author's willingness to learn from mistakes, and let the Spirit work. The book derives its name, a play on words, from Psalm 119. How many of us wouldn't dial 911 in the case of emergency and urgency for response. We know help is three digits away. But often the same people who know to dial 911 in their time of crisis, don't know how to get help for their spiritual emergencies? The writer of the longest Psalm in the Bible didn't hesitate to admit his own weakness and lack of ability to help himself, but he was quick to call on the most available help for the believer--the Lord.

Mrs. Woon dives into the verses of Psalm 119, and through her writing and object lessons pulls out rare jewels. This book is worth the price and deserves a spot on you bookshelf.  The book is available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R8QH1XR/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

Note:
I had the privilege of meeting Charity Woon in person, in one of the most direct answers to prayer.
I was still reading the book for the first time and enjoying it. I once joked how it would be neat to meet her since we share a lot of common views spiritually, but that I doubted it would ever happen--
I mean here she is, a missionary with her family to the other side of the world--who am I?
A few months back I made plans to visit some friends attending Ambassador Baptist College in North Carolina. I wanted to surprise the friends so I, and those that went with me, didn't tell them we were coming. A few days before the planned time for our visit, we saw on Facebook where Charity Woon and some of her family would be at ABC doing a tour of the campus. And of all days, they were planning on being at the college the exact same day we were! I was elated, but still held myself back. We'd only be there a few hours at the most, and I didn't have any idea what time they were planning on being there or if I would get to speak to them at all.  The day came, and the Lord worked out to where I got to surprise my friend, meet Mrs. Woon and some of her kids, and have a wonderful time. Upon my asking Charity Woon to autograph my copy of her book, she went further and wrote me a little note as well which I treasure. There's no way I could ever have hoped to plan such a day--with so many different parties involved. But the Lord did it! And I'm very thankful He did. :)
