Summary
On July 19, 1924, Eric Liddell was on top of the world.
He was the most famous Briton at the time, having just won the gold in the Olympic 400-meter race. The story of that race - and the one he didn't run - was told in the popular movie classic Chariots of Fire.
But what most of us don't know is what became of Eric Liddell in the years after the credits rolled.
As the storm clouds of World War II rolled in, Eric Liddell had already made decisions in his life that gave him the resilience to stand tall while others fell into despair. His strength of character led him to choose an uncertain future in China during World War II to continue helping the Chinese. He lived purposefully, even as his world crumbled and he experienced the horror and deprivations of a Japanese internment camp.
Eric's story is a story of hope in the face of uncertainty, resilience in the face of unspeakable odds, and an inspiring vision of what life means, even when the final hour comes.

watched chariots of fire after listening to this
great book. great story no matter your religious beliefs. I'm 40 and had never watched chariots of fire. I watched it on the back of reading this book. good film but not as factual at this book. also the opening and closing scenes of the movie where they are running in Kent. that's filmed on the west sand in standrew Scotland. bring Scottish my only issue with the narration on the book was the constant mispronouncing of Edinburgh. minor OCD there but not to worry

A stop spoiled by the writer
I didn’t listen further than the introduction & intro first chapter. I thought this was a biography but it’s spoilt by the writer trying to convert the listener
