An apt book for this Olympic year. Autobiographies are not usually my first choice but I really enjoyed this one. It is about Eric Liddell the Olympic gold medallist who refused to run on a Sunday. This book tells about his childhood, then the time up to the Olympic Games and after when he continued with missionary work in China eventually dying in an interment camp just before the war finished. What I got out of this book was the way he touched lives, (non Christian as well as Christian), he wasn't a great speaker but by the time he had finished everyone understood his message. I must admit I had never heard of this man, but this book opened my eyes to how you can affect other people not by preaching but just how you live your life. He was a very special man.
