I read the Eric Liddle story (Chariot's of Fire hero) and all the other books in this series this summer. I can't begin to tell you how inspirational the lives of these people are. The one on Gladys Allward is unbelievable. The things these people accomplished were amazing. The books are easy, quick reads and are great for read alouds to children. These authors also have a series of biographies of famous Americans (George Washington, Harriett Tubman, etc that are excellent. Good job Amazon for placing this book up on the web page.

This is by far the best non-fiction book I have read. There is a lot of information in here, but its not cluttered and the authors wright things easy to understand. I thought the story was a little sad, but not as sad as Christian Heroes: Then & Now C.S. Lewis. This Eric Liddell book, will make you realize how "lucky" you are. I would read this book if I were you.

This is the true story of Eric Liddell who was made famous in the film Chariots of Fire, about his running in the Olympics and winning a gold medal. The film has many inaccuracies, but the book is wonderful. Liddell died in a concentration camp in China (brain tumor) during WWII while serving as a missionary. This is a children's book, but I enjoyed it as light reading one afternoon.

I bought this book for my grandsons, so they could see how true men of faith in the past have lived their lives. This helps them with their daily reading and really teaches them Christian values at the same time. Highly recommend these books.

We bought this book for our 9 year old son and he loved it.

This is a very inspirational story, and well worth reading. Although I have been disappointed by the Benges' writing in all of their books that I've read, this is still a great source of accurate information on Eric Liddell's life.

Did you like the movie, "Chariot's of Fire"? If so, you will love this book of the life story of Eric Liddell. It is well written & will strengthen your faith.
