Hey folks,

I've heard Steve mention Eric Liddell's later life (post Olympics as a missionary) several times on TNP. My wife was wondering about a good biography of this inspiring man. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Seth

Chariots of Fire is a movie about the part of Liddell's life before he went to China as a missionary. It contrasts Godly desire and commitment with selfish ambition as exhibited by the 2 main characters, Liddell and Abrams.

It is really good and I'd recommend it.

We love "Chariots of Fire", but I was hoping for something that goes into his later life. Anyone? Steve?
