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.
"It's not just a story to read - it is an experience. And when you've read it, you'll be filled with wonder -- at how little you love God, and how much He loves you." -- Ethel Barrett, 1969.
