Disqualifying himself from the finals, Britain's hope of a medal was sacrificed as well. But the thinly veiled criticism in the press turned to sensational acclaim when Eric entered-and won-a race for which he was completely untrained, finishing a full five meters ahead of the favorite.He was a celebrity, but the faith which had inspired his courageous stand stirred in him again, and at the height of his fame he announced that he was leaving athletics to return as a missionary to the land of his birth, China. This story of \"God's Athlete\" makes for exciting reading.From renowned Scottish athlete to missionary in China.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882220552480,"sku":"NEW1556611501","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/619sbCKZWqL.jpg?v=1781842744","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/eric-liddell-men-of-faith-1556611501","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
