$12.99Almost a full century has passed since Eric Liddell’s running career began and his renown caught fire. Once he made his decision to withdraw from the 1924 Olympics 100-meter event due to religious observance, his iconic legacy was seared in time.
A prized favorite to win gold for Britain, Eric was dragged through the homeland mud on the heels of his announcement. Yet Liddell navigated gold-medal glory via a different route, the 400 meters, a distance with which he had minimal experience.
Against all odds, he ran victoriously and in the process inspired millions. In so doing he preserved his routine commitment of honoring God by resting on the Sabbath and provided a rapturous reason for Britain to celebrate. The flame that had been lit beneath his celebrity exploded throughout the world.
Eric’s incredible display of faith during the Olympics was just the begin-ning.
Eric had another race in his life yet to run-a more important one, with a much greater prize.
This final race of faith was not marked out using the familiar lines of a track.
He did not know where it would end.
He could not have imagined how his world would be torn apart before it was all over. Saber más
