{"product_id":"eric-liddell-catherine-swift-9781556611506","title":"Eric Liddell","description":"One of the greatest heroes of the Cross in this centuryEric Liddell, hero of the film Chariots of Fire, risked becoming a national disgrace at the 1924 Paris Olympics when he refused to run on a Sunday. Disqualifying himself from the finals, Britain's hope of a medal was sacrificed as well. But the thinly veiled criticism in the press turned to sensational acclaim when Eric entered--and won--a race for which he was completely untrained, finishing a full five meters ahead of the favorite.He was a celebrity, but the faith which had inspired his courageous stand stirred in him again, and at the height of his fame he announced that he was leaving athletics to return as a missionary to the land of his birth, China. This story of \"God's Athlete\" makes for exciting reading.From renowned Scottish athlete to missionary in China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Swift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556611501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556611506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bethany House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.02h x 4.60w x 0.47d","brand":"Catherine Swift","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522723672319,"sku":"9781556611506","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bfff4e2-42d5-4f41-ab01-150abd6e6b7e.jpg?v=1700158678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eric-liddell-catherine-swift-9781556611506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
