FOR THE GLORY: THE LIFE OF ERIC LIDDELL (PB)

Eric Liddell was immortalised in the Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire, but that film barely scratched the surface of his life. For the Glory takes the reader from Liddell the athlete, through Liddell the missionary in China, to Liddell when he had to be stronger than all around him, detained in a Japanese internment camp, when he became the moral centre of an otherwise unbearable world. He would make the ultimate sacrifice, but the story of his life continues to inspire generation after generation.
