Eric Liddell: Gold Medal Missionary (Heroes of the Faith (Barbour Paperback))
Eric Liddell knew that his athletic abilities came from God, so he used them for God's glory. At the 1924 Paris Olympics, Liddell stood for his principles by refusing to run on a Sunday -- and though he missed his best event, he won a surprising gold medal in a different race. Later, he served as a missionary to China, where he ultimately died in a Japanese internment camp during World War II.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
