by Renee Meloche (Author), Ywam Publishing (Author), Bryan Pollard (Illustrator)

Just when Eric Liddell's dream was coming true, he stunned the world by refusing to run his Olympic race on a Sunday, a day he believed was for honoring God. Many people thought Eric was a traitor and a fool, for they were sure he would have won. But Eric believed God's promise "He who honors me, I will honor" - and God kept His promise. From winning Olympic gold to leaving his fame behind to go to China as a missionary, Eric put God in first place. (1902-1945)
