Description
Eric Liddell may be one of the best-known athletes of the early 20th Century (and hero of the film Chariots of Fire), but his Christian life is equally inspiring. This biography begins in China, where Eric's father worked as a missionary for many years. It recounts Eric's early childhood in China, his schooling in England, his athletic training, and his surprise victory at the 1924 Olympics. At the height of his fame, Eric left athletics to return as a missionary to China. A fascinating look at a man who kept his faith in Christ even in the most challenging circumstances. By Catherine Swift. 176 pgs, pb. ~ Lisa
Publisher's Description of Eric Liddell (Men of Faith)
One of the greatest heroes of the Cross in this century
Eric Liddell, hero of the film Chariots of Fire, risked becoming a national disgrace at the 1924 Paris Olympics when he refused to run on a Sunday. Disqualifying himself from the finals, Britain's hope of a medal was sacrificed as well. But the thinly veiled criticism in the press turned to sensational acclaim when Eric entered--and won--a race for which he was completely untrained, finishing a full five meters ahead of the favorite.
He was a celebrity, but the faith which had inspired his courageous stand stirred in him again, and at the height of his fame he announced that he was leaving athletics to return as a missionary to the land of his birth, China. This story of "God's Athlete" makes for exciting reading.
From renowned Scottish athlete to missionary in China.
