I read this book in two hours. The only reason why it took me that long is because I was constantly sobbing and had to keep blowing my nose and wiping my eyes. I don't think I've ever encountered a book, at any time in my whole life, which had me crying so hard and having my heart feel so heavy.
Lisa Jefferson is the GTE operator who took the call with United 93's Todd Beamer and was the person who recited the Lord's prayer with him as he struggled to make sense of all that was happening on that fateful day of September 11th, 2001.
Not only does Jefferson recall the conversation with Beamer, but she also broadens the scope of the book to include the perspective of God's role in our lives and our role in God's life. She firmly believes that we all have a calling to which when the time comes, it is our opportunity to be of service to God.
It is truly an inspiring book - one that I could not put down (other than to wipe my tears away) - and is a book that others should read.
Honor the memories of Todd Beamer and the other heroes on United 93 by learning more about who they were and what they did for us as a nation, by reading "Called."
