Jim's unflagging pursuit of truth and integrity was central to who he was as at legendary NFL referee. It's that same view of the world that serves as a beacon in everything he touches.

I have been privileged to know Jim for more than 30 years. He is a legendary football official, and I have always admired and respected special ability as a teacher. When he writes about integrity, character, and personal responsibility, you can trust his words. Time spent reading this book is time well spent.
