Making the Call

Book excerpt: 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 Call: 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.
