Description
Eric Liddell: Finish the Race by John W. Keddie is a gripping biography that tells the story of a hero who stood firm in his faith despite fame and pressure. In 1912, Eric qualified for the Olympics in Paris, but faced a difficult decision when his 100 metres race was scheduled for Sunday - a day he believed should be reserved for worship. Eric's strong conviction led him to step down from the race, choosing instead to focus on God's glory rather than his own. This courageous act had unexpected consequences: Eric went on to win the 400 metres event. The story of Eric Liddell is one of strength, conviction and trust in a higher power. This biography, part of The Trailblazer series, collects inspiring stories from Christians of the past for young readers today. John Keddie's account of Eric's life challenges readers to consider their own values and priorities, offering a powerful reminder that true greatness comes from serving something greater than ourselves.
