Eric Liddell: The Runner Who Wouldn’t Run (on Sunday!)
What do you get when you mix lightning-fast speed, an unshakable faith, and a heart for helping others? Eric Liddell—a real-life superhero with sneakers instead of a cap.
Born in China to missionary parents, Eric became one of Scotland’s fastest runners. He trained hard, raced harder, and earned a spot in the 1924 Olympics. But when Eric learned his specialty 100-meter race was on a Sunday, he said “No thanks!” to the chance of Olympic gold—because he believed that day belonged to God. Instead, he ran the 400-meter race on another day, won a gold medal, and set a world record!
But Eric didn’t stick around for fame and medals. He packed up and moved to China to serve as a missionary. During World War II, Japanese forces imprisoned Eric in a camp. Even there, he showed kindness, played with kids, helped families, and shared God’s love. He passed away in 1945, but his story still runs strong in hearts today.
Eric’s Greatest Race is a dynamic graphic novel packed with history, heroism, and heart. Whether your kiddo loves sports, missions, or true stories with a twist of courage, this book will inspire him to run his own race with character, compassion, and conviction.
