About the Book

Eric's life brought him to boarding school in England, university in Edinburgh and the fame of Olympic Stardom in Paris. But with that fame came trouble as he struggled to stand up for his Christian faith. Eric's strong belief in keeping the Lord's Day as a day of worship was challenged when his 100 metres race was scheduled for the Sunday. Eric's strength of conviction and his subsequent win in the 400 metres have made him a hero and a role model for many young men and women. But his life was so much more than winning tapes and starters' orders - his whole life was a race for God.

About the Author :
John Keddie was born in Edinburgh in 1946. An athlete in his youth, he was a Scottish Junior triple jump champion in 1965 and represented Scotland once, besides playing first class rugby for Boroughmuir Former Pupils RFC (1966-1970). He also competed for Mitcham A.C. (1973-1975). John has long had a close interest in the history of Scottish athletics. In 1982 his work on Scottish Athletics (the official Centenary History of the Scottish Amarteur Athletic Association) was published, covering 100 years of amateur athletics north of the border. One member of the Association of Track and Field Statisticians wrote of this book: "I can already tell you that it one of the best historical works on sports that I have ever seen. A milestone, a landmark...no exaggeration, indeed." An Accountant by profession (for a time he was Commercial Manager of Dunlop Sports Company in London), he later entered the ministry of the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland and served in Burghead (Morayshire) 1987-1996, and Bracadale on the Island of Skye (1997-2012). He retired from that work in April, 2012. Besides his young person's biography of Eric, entitled Finish the Race, which was published by Christian Focus Publications (Tain, Ross-shire) in 2011, among his other contributions to is his acclaimed popular fully illustrated biography of the athlete-missionary Eric Liddell entitled Running the Race (first published by EPBooks in 2007, with a 2nd revised and enlarged edition, 2012). John is also the author of a biography of a 19th Century Scottish Theologian, George Smeaton (EPBooks, 2007) and has contributed articles to the Free Church Witness, Evangelical Times, Athletics Weekly and Track Stats (Journal of the National Union of Track Statisticians).
