“Eric Liddell has been a hero of mine since boyhood not only because he’s Scottish and an athlete but primarily because of his strong Christian faith. I read it as soon as it arrived and was quickly reminded of what made Eric so special. This mini biography is inspiring and wonderfully illustrated. The text is clear, the graphics are superb, and the hero is Jesus.”  —Alistair Begg, senior pastor of Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio  “For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to the story of Eric Liddell. His life of heroic service includes three things I love: missions, Scotland, and running! I’m grateful for this graphic novel as it gives a new way to tell Liddell’s story of courage and faithfulness to Christ. I’m eager to sit down with my family and share this story.”   —Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor of Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, North Carolina and associate professor of systematic theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte   “Tim Challies has written an enjoyable and spiritually beneficial graphic novel for young people on the life of Eric Liddell. In a well-paced fashion, the novel relates the highlights of Eric’s life, including his challenging boyhood, his celebrated athletic successes as a young man, his subsequent missionary service in China, and his eventual confinement and death in a Japanese prison camp during World War II. The skilled storytelling and artwork are sure to attract and hold the attention of young readers from beginning to end. Challies also does an outstanding job of weaving Liddell’s edifying spiritual perspectives and helpful historical factoids into the narrative in interesting, unobtrusive ways.”   —Vance Christie, historical Christian biographer
