Champ Thornton, The Story of Eric Liddell (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2026), 141 pp.
The Story of Eric Liddell by Champ Thornton is a compelling tale about a man who impacted his generation for the glory of God. The author writes for middle grade students but the content is suitable for anyone.
The story begins in China where Eric Liddell is born. When he begins school, his family moves to Scotland where he receives his education. Liddell develops a love for learning and athletics and eventually finds himself competing in the Olympic games.
The most captivating aspect of this book is Liddell’s passion to glorify God. The focus of this man was to honor the Lord above all, both in his life and his death.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
