Eric’s Greatest Race

In Eric’s Greatest Race, Tim Challies shares the story of Eric Liddell and his lifelong love for the Lord. It is a fresh take on a modern hero of the faith.

This graphic novel, with excellent illustrations by Paul Mignard, covers Liddell’s childhood in China, years in school, Olympic achievements, and death during World War II. It is a gripping book that keeps the focus on Liddell’s relationship with God.

Run Hard After God

What I was most interested to see was how China was significant in Liddell’s upbringing and later missionary work. It is clear that he wanted to do great work for the Lord, and this pursuit pressed into every aspect of his life.

Eric’s Greatest Race, and his greatest reward, is more than his Olympic medal. This book shows that the greatest race we all run is the race of faith. It will inspire you to run hard after God and run across the finish line.
