5.0 out of 5 stars The best biography of Eric Liddell yet, 10 Nov 2002
By Michael Lotz (Ridley Hall, Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
McCasland's biography of Liddell is the best biography of Liddell yet. A clear presentation of one of the most exemplary, honest and sincere Christians to walk the earth. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to about true Christian living, lived by the example of the Olympic hero turned missionary, who, while loved and revered by the Chinese, got martyred at the hands of Japanese imperialism. Eric Liddell remains an example of Christian living to the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars No wonder his chariot was of fire, 21 Jul 2006
This review is from: Eric Liddell: Pure Gold (Paperback)
Are you sure it can't be done??? well, think twice and then read this man's biography. Eric Liddell immortilized worldwide in the 1981 Hugh Hudson's motion picture Chariots of Fire in its purest form is presented in this book. A story on courage, capacity and determination. You should not miss it. You shall want to go out jogging and be a better person to say the least!

From his birth on January 16, 1902 in Tientsin, China, to his unexpected death due to a brain tumor on February 21, 1945 in a japanese concentration camp in that same country, passing through his experiences at boarding school in the UK, his olympic victory, his religious commitments, his unbelievable determination, his beloved Florence ("Flo") and the beautiful love story that surrounded their relationship, the people who marked his life (his mother Mary, father James, brothers Rob and Ernest, sister Jenny, etc.). A book that brought out emotions from the beginning when I read about Florence (Eric's widow) watching Chariots of Fire and imagining her reactions, her feelings of pride... This book is a thoroughly rewarding experience!
