A true story of a man who used the gifts God gave him.,
By erenschler@hotmail.com (Huffman, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eric Liddell (Men of Faith) (Mass Market Paperback)
Eric Liddell was (and still is) a shining example of what a person can do if he will use the gifts God has given him/her. It is too bad that this book did not live up to the potential that it could have been. There was not enough documentation of events, and the author used descriptions of Eric and events in his life that possibly were misleading, ie. ...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... Anyone who knows the story knows that Eric knew of his being in the 400 meters months in advance of the Olympics. True enough, it was quite a fantastic feat,however, over-sensationalism only lends weakness to this great story.

Encouraging for all ages - as a read aloud even. The challenges, the excitement, the blessing... My 14 year old enjoyed the book a great deal, too.

A true story of man who knew what is the right thing to do.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eric Liddell (Men of Faith) (Mass Market Paperback)
An inspiring true story ruined by bad writing. Is this book written for children? Did the author do any research because there is no souce documented. Anyhow, this is still a wonderful true story.
