Like many, I shall never forget the impact of my first viewing of Chariots of Fire,where a portion of the life-story of the Scottish Christian sportsman Eric Liddell was told. It was deeply inspiring and proved to be the foundation of an ongoing interest in Liddell's life. So I am thrilled to recommend this fresh biographical study of Liddell by John Keddie: perfect to inspire a new generation, it is powerfully written and beautifully illustrated. A joy to read., There are many reasons to read this gripping biography. Eric Liddell was a man of immense ability and profound conviction - an example in his own time and a hero for our age. John W. Keddie is ideally positioned as a guide to this multi-faceted character whose life has been used to encourage so wide a range of people around the globe., In a world increasingly fascinated by sports it is difficult to find an athlete worthy of deep admiration. John Keddie's account of the great Eric Liddell presents all of the drama of his athletic accomplishment while also preserving the character and faith that fueled this remarkable life. More than the medals won, this book reveals the shining greatness of Liddell to be the humble, yet gutsy, spirit that drove him to 'press toward the goal for the prize' (Phil. 3:14) - whether in the classroom, on the track, or in the mission-field., It is abundantly clear from these pages that the driving force in Liddell's life was love for his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and that he lived by the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 9:10: 'Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.' This is an inspiring and challenging account of the life of a truly inter-continental hero and will be enjoyed by the sporting enthusiast and Christian alike.

Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.
