Called: Hello, My Name Is Mrs. Jefferson. I Understand Your Plane Is Being Hijacked. 9:45 Am, Flight 93, September 11, 2001 Hardcover – July 1, 2006

Terrific

Lisa Jefferson was swept up into 9/11 when a phone call from Flight 93 was answered in the Verizon call center. Lisa, a supervisor saw an employee's distress and went rather reluctantly to relieve her. On the other end of the line was Todd Beamer. Time stopped for the next 15 minutes while she talked and prayed with Todd and hung on even after his "Let's roll" and she stayed on that phone until others could convince her that the plane was confirmed crashed. This is the story of what happened to Lisa Jefferson before, during and after this terrible day. Lisa had a comfortable life routine before but God and Flight 93 changed that. Go on the journey with Lisa and God, experience the marvelous events that happen in Lisa's life through God. Learn about some of the Flight 93 families and what their response when they found out about their loved ones. This is a powerful book of how God works with and through us through tragedy. Lisa graciously shows us her road.

It's my opinion that the title of the book is "Called: ..." The author does an excellent job of making the reader feel like they were there when she took the call from Todd Beamer. I found myself crying as I read this book. The "coincidences," if you want to believe it, are signs that God has plans for everyone. As an example, Todd's wife has the same first name as the author. Many people try to find the positives in tragedies, while others ask "Where was God?" This book tells them. He was with the people in the planes, in the buildings, and He was with the rest of us as the events took place. This book tells the story of an operator that was drawn into the events of 9/11. She was on the phone with Todd Beamer all the way until the assault on the cockpit. The last words she heard was, "Let's Roll." This phrase was heard in stories about United flight 93. The operator gives you insight on how that phone call changed her life.

I liked her honesty and humility. I also enjoyed reading about her connection with Lisa Beamer. A lovely piece of the tragedy puzzle.

This was a real book with real feelings that brought it home to me. Where were you on 9/11? I cant imagine all Lisa went through with knowing she was the last one to talk to this man. The only one to have heard and felt it crash. I am thankful there are people out there taking my emergency calls who truly care. She is who I would have wanted on the other end had I been in a situation as dire as this. I appreciate her candor in this easy to read but moving book.

Enjoyed the honesty of the book. I read afterwards that FBI questioned the validity of the call but I didn't accept that at all and accepted a lot would be written about this kind and generous lady that was put in a position of great difficulty .

Great book! Greatest service by Seller!

No one should miss reading this book. Poignant in its recalling that terrible day from a very unique perspective, it is even more powerful in how it presents, in Lisa Jefferson's own words, her unswerving faith in God and how He gave her strength she says she did not know she had.This is a must read for anyone wants to understand better what role God can play in our lives, if only we will let Him. Lisa did, and does, and it shows through her words.

A very short book but also interesting to read. The author, Lisa Jefferson, also talks a lot about God and how He was there on that day. If you are a firm believer with God, you will believe what was wrote in this book.

This book raised a lot of questions. Why would you phone a complete stranger & not a loved one if you were on a plane taken over by terrorists. Why was the call not recorded. This story seems more made up in the hope of cashing in on the 9/11 tragedy

9.11テロの時に、ユナイテッド航空９３便もハイジャックされたが乗客の抵抗により目的地に着く前に墜落した。このとき、乗客の一人Todd Beamerと１５分間にわたり交信したのが飛行機電話（元GTE、事件当時はベライゾン）のオペレータの管理職Lisa Jeffersonであり本書の著者である。本書は２人の緊迫した会話が収録されている。Todd Beamerは身重の妻を気遣ってあえて妻ではなくオペレータに事情を伝えることを選んだようだ。事情説明、祈りの後で、「爆弾を身に着けたやつを、やっつけることになった」という発言も記録されている。そして電話が切れ、飛行機は墜落した。　今まで交信していた人の死を受けてのLisa Jeffersonのショック・周囲の人の気遣いと励まし・マスコミ対応・Todd Beamerの妻Lisa　Beamerとの出会い、そして信仰をよりどころに立ち直っていく様子も書かれている。　また巻末に９３便の犠牲者の遺族の追憶も数多く掲載されており、遺族にとってこの事件がいかに理不尽で受け入れることが困難なものだったのかを実感できる。故人の死を無駄にしないために基金を作って奨学金を提供している遺族もいる。　本書は、ユナイテッド93便の悲劇の全貌をカバーしているわけではなく、また紙のページで147頁と短いながら、一読することで、関係者の行動・想いの一端を詳しく知ることができる。
