Inspire kids with this true tale of God equipping Eric Liddell to serve and obey even when it made Eric unpopular. His story encourages kids to be faithful no matter what they are doing, whether they are running a race or caring for others in difficult circumstances.
Kids will follow Eric from his boyhood love of running to his Olympic victories to his ministry work as a missionary in China and then as a prisoner of war. They'll see how loving Jesus was the most important thing to Liddell, and even more important than winning medals.
Charming illustrations of Eric's adventures draw kids into the story as they learn about God's work in his life. Kids will discover that...
- God loves our simple obedience and service
- Loving Jesus is the most important thing
- They can honor God in all sorts of ways, including through fun things like running
