Making The Call: Living with Your Decisions
What if your life hinged on a decision you had to make in a split second? That’s the compelling story of NFL referee Lance Easley. As a “replacement referee” during 2012’s referee lockout, Easley thought he’d earned his dream job—until he made a disputed call during a Monday night game viewed by more than 16 million people. Suddenly, Easley found himself the target of scorn, hatred, even death threats. Thankfully, his solid Christian faith helped see him through the controversy. In Making the Living with Your Decisions, Easley—along with bestselling cowriter Brock Thoene—explains that life is about much more than making a single call. It’s about deciding beforehand just how you’ll live with the calls you make.

Awful official, book, and recall of game.
Not sure where to start here. This book is nothing more than this man trying to justify a terrible call that was made in a big game. A terrible call the cost of the Green Bay Packers a bye possibly a Super Bowl birth that season.
The writing and football terminology in this book is so grossly incorrect... it is not even funny.It is unbelievable that this man actually officiate football and he doesn’t know the difference between a sack, pressure on the quarterback, And getting the quarterback after he throws the ball.
One of the things that irritate me most of this book is going to try to justify that awful pass interference against Sam Shields. It was clearly a terrible call and everyone agreed it was a bad call including the announcers on television. He just needs to man up and admit that the call was bad.
8 years later... all of this still irks me!!!
He also got many facts incorrect in the book. He calls to Seattle quarterback Matt Wilson and his actual name was Russell Wilson. Pretty pathetic attempt to write a book. My guess is that some ghost writer wrote it it didn’t quite know what he or she was doing.
Then the author tries to compare life to his terrible call on the field. And even tries to bring in Christianity and god into it.
How about the fact that you just working over your head in this game.You simply were not prepared to officiate at that level and excepted the assignment anyways. And then went out on the field and made several terrible calls and cost a team and a town a chance in the championship because of it.
No forgiveness from me!
Book was as bad as your reffing!!
