Mr. Liddel was a good man
with a light heart and he did not run on Holy Day! This shows how much
faith he had in the Lord. |

Eric
Liddel sounds like a wonderful man who had so much faith in the Lord
that he did not run on a Sunday and sacrificed his success for the Holy
Day! |

Hello,
I just watched a documentary of Eric Liddell's life. In it was made
mention of a book he wrote about our wills surrendered to God's will.
Is this book available anywhere? I would very much like to read what
Mr. Liddell had to say about this matter.
Thank you and God Bless you for keeping this man's life story alive for
future generations to learn from.
Sincerely,
Linda Schuck |

Eric
Liddell was wholly committed to taking the gospel to whomsever will. He
is a personal mentor figure of mine who gave the last full measure of
devotion. One cannot but be thankful for the model his life was among
us. |

Hello!
I started browsing your site after re-watching "Chariots of Fire" last
evening with my husband. Eric Liddell is one of our heroes of the faith
and there's just something about the image of the character who
portrays Eric Liddell running that brings tears to my eyes and the
thought that we Christians are all running in a race, pressing toward
the mark!! Your site and facilities are very interesting--Wish we could
visit!! |

Having
just visited Eric Liddell Centre in Edinburgh, have learned of the
services, carers and projects offer such a wide range to fulfil the
needs of the local elderly, young and needy people.
I myself was interned in Weihsien Concentration Camp for nearly 3
years. I was born in Tientsin, and was 3 months old when my family were
interned. Eric Liddell baptised me in one of the camp kitchens, so I do
have a strong affiliation with the memory of Eric Liddell.
Good to know that the Centre is doing such great work in memory of Eric
Liddell.
Eric Liddell is a true Christian and hero we will never forget. |

Thank
you for this wonderful site. The first film I watched in my youth that
made a huge impact on me personally was "Chariots of Fire". I did not
have an idea then what christianity is all about. But God used Eric
Liddel's life story to plant that seed in my heart so that in my later
years during my college life I came to know of God's saving grace
personally. Now I have come full circle as I study his life once again
to design lessons for the kids in sunday school. His mission work in
China has also come full circle as we now see the rise of Asia through
the Beijing Olympics. All because of the seeds of blood by men like
Eric Liddel, a Olympic hero who ran for a higher prize! I think that it
will be just a matter of time when christians in China, India and other
parts of Asia will bring forth full circle God's work on earth until
the return of Jesus Christ. God bless your team immensely as you let
Him work in you and through you! |

Mr.
Liddell's life was showcased on the Sunday morning TV show, Day Of
Discovery, this past three weeks. Oh that more would live lives in
complete submission to the Word of God, myself included.
I was able to visit Edinburgh in 1977 while in the US Air
Force. What a beautiful city. If I am ever in the city again I shall
stop in to see those colored windows.
Until then. |

Just
an enquiry really. My mother's name was Olive Mary Liddell Davies, her
mother was Isabella Liddell who was born in Seahouses Northumberland,
Isabella had several brothers and sisters, one of whom was called
Sarah. Their father was something to do with fishing, I think he had
his own fishing boat or boats. My mother used to talk of her
Great-Uncle Andrew Liddell who was apparently the harbour master at
Seahouses, and she used to talk of Eric as being a relation. My mother
was born in 1916 in Huddersfield, and trained at Edinburgh Hospital as
a nurse, she was attached to the Royal Red Cross during WW2. She used
to talk of being disowned by her family as all of her three daughters,
myself included were born out of wedlock, so I have little idea about
her family. Have you any idea about Eric's wider family, even if it's
to put this line of research to bed.
Thank you in anticipation.

I
had seen the movie Chariots of Fire when I was a child. It was nothing
much for me. Today I happened to come across Eric's biography. It has
impacted me a lot.
By the way last year I had been to Tianjin, China. Only if I had
known that Eric was born in Tianjin. His house is still there. I would
have visited it.
I do not know if the movie covered his missionary life in
China. A movie should be made to show this world how to live a true
Christian life even in adversities. Reminds me of Corrie Ten Boom.
The world should know more about his Christian life. |

What

disciple of Jesus Christ! I thank God for his testimony and may he
continue to inspire others to live their lives for God! God bless!

The
movie "Chariots of Fire" continues to be one of all-time favorite films
but the viewer must see between the lines as Harold Abrahams is fronted
as the hero when actually he is not the real key figure. Eric Liddell
is the one we should take inspiration from and not just for the
temporal crowns achieved athletically but from his commitment to stand
for the true God and for His Son, Jesus Christ. He will be rewarded for
all eternity at the bema after our lord returns for the Church. My
concern today is in the lack of Biblical and Scriptural teaching and
instruction that is so desperately void in Europe. What would our
brother Eric say if he were alive today? Romans 10:17 teaches that
faith (our believing in God) cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word
of God. The only true memorial to Mr. Liddell is for us all to keep
teaching from the Bible to young people. Is not it ironic that the
Olympics are being held in one of the most godless nations, China,
where 60+ years earlier, our Eric gave his life to teach, train, and
minister! May this note inspire you to strengthen your work. God's best
be yours. |

Just been to a talk by a
former maths teacher at Eltham College who made a 15 minute cine film
on life at the college in 1964.
Read the small book on the achievements of Eric. Never knew what a kind
and hard working man he was in his short life.
His name lives on by the Eric Liddell Sports Centre at the college.
Good wishes with the work at Edinburgh.

As
I see our changing world political climate I asked myself, what would
Eric Liddle do? His stance to not compromise his beliefs could serve as
a reminder for current athletes to draw comfort from. Would Mr. Liddell
participate where the host country promotes horrific human rights
practices? It's hard to know but he may have been drawn but only for
his beloved China. May his spirit live in Bejing. Thank you. |

Thank
you for this site. I hope that the work that Eric Liddel did,
particularly in telling others the Good News and living out a
Christlike life, will be continued at your centre for many years to
come.
The testimonies from people who knew him were particularly poignant for
me. Especially those that knew him during the POW years.
I
was researching Mr Liddel's life for a series we are doing with our
youth group. So far, I am sure that I have watched Chariots of Fire
about 20 times. I am glad to be able to find more information about the
great blessing he has been to the Chinese people, on your site. Also I
was greatly encouraged to read about the love that Mr Liddel had for
young people. I pray that this will be an inspiration to the young
people that I serve.
God bless and lead you x |

Eric's

It was a wonderful surprise
to read your page on Eric Liddell.
Sir
John Liddell, (21 March 1794 - 28 Mai 1868) who is my
Greatgreatgrandfather, was born in Dunblane, Scotland. He became the
director general of the medical department of the royal navy. I wonder
whether Eric was a relative of his (and me)?
God bless, Peter |

Having
watched 'Chariots of Fire' again recently after many years, I went to
the internet and looked up Eric Liddell to know more about him, and his
extraordinary love and respect for God. I discovered that after his
glorious Olympic win, he had a very difficult life in a POW camp in
China. By all accounts he continued in that camp to live as a man of
honour and integrity, always finding ways to assist and improve the
lives of his fellow prisoners. He lived the life God wants us all to
live, to be the best people we can be, in all ways. We do not always
achieve this, however, with examples like Mr Liddell to inspire us when
we stumble, we have our chance to make a better world for each other -
just as he did. |

Eric
Liddell is still a burning light in the athletic world. His
sportsmanship, talent and running fast for the God, he served, were an
outward expression of his spirit and love for God and his neighbor. The
film "Chariots of Fire" is one of my all time favorites.One of my
children purchased the V.H.S. version ,and was profoundly moved by Eric
Lidddell, 10 years later.
I loved to read that Allan Wells ,paid
tribute to Eric Liddell, when he won the 100metres in Moscow.
Generation after generation will pause to consider this remarkable man. |

I
find the story of Eric's life and dedication to others, truly
encouraging. In this age of inane celebrity worship, I can only
sincerely hope that there are still people of his stature about today.
I hope that one day, I will be able to visit his last resting place in
China, to pay my respects. |

I
first learned of Eric Liddell (of course) from the movie Chariots of
Fire. What impressed upon me most however, was his unwavering devotion
to God. Like many others like Mr. Liddell, he stands as a testament to
all of us who believe and we are truly blessed by their example! |

I
saw the film Chariots of Fire several years ago. Somehow I thought
about Eric today, did some searching on the Internet and ended up here.
Here was a man who truly feared and loved God. We would all do well to
emulate him--as I am sure you are striving to do at this Centre. |
