Eric Liddell is best known as the main character in Hollywood’s 1981 award winning feature film Chariots of Fire. But it was his fascinating life as a missionary that proved his spiritual mettle. This Olympic medallist from Scotland lived- and died- for the testimony of Jesus Christ. In this 3-part video with author and Day Of Discovery host David McCasland, you’ll trace Eric’s life from the 1924 Olympics to his years in war-torn China. You’ll hear testimonies from historians, friends, and family about his life as a boy, an athlete, a missionary, and a Bible teacher. But most of all, you’ll learn about a man sold out for God. The descriptions is from the 1999 video cover. Running 90 minutes the three parts are: Part 1- The Making of a Champion; Part 2- The Greatest Race; and Part 3- Weihsien: The Finish Line. Released under the authority of RBC Ministries and available from Amazon.com.
