Book Reviews of ERIC LIDDELL: PURE GOLD
Book Review: Eric Liddell: single-minded, faithful servant of God
Summary: 5 Stars
I approached this book as a thirsty, worn "traveler" in this journey called Life, and it did not disappoint. While the bio may be deemed dryly academic by many who are coasting along at present, it is a lifeboat to those of us assaulted by the Enemy of our Souls, by our own sinful flesh, and by unfortunate circumstances outside our control.
I found especially intriguing how Eric Liddell coped with living in essentially a Japanese-run "ghetto" during World War II. How does a Christian handle himself when separated for years from wife and children (the youngest born whom he would never see)? How does he handle living in such close proximity with hundreds of other "foreigns", some missionaries but many unbelievers with a completely different ethic? He played cards with them (much to the chagrin of a more fundamentalist's mindset); he built a shelf for a known prostitute, seeking no "favor" in exchange. How do Christians handle receiving letters from loved ones when they arrive 6 months late? Other heroes in this ghetto included the Roman Catholic monk who ran an underground to acquire food staples, until he was thrown in prison (and sang so interminably his jailers let him out early just b/c they hated his singing).
Towards the end of the bio, Mrs. Liddell, informed of her husband's death (brain tumor while incarcerated), writes several letters, which are reprinted. The one that especially grips a reader who has struggled with financial plight is where she writes the Mission Board how Eric's last will seems unrecoverable and she needs assistance re the settling of his estate for her and her 3 daughters' welfare. As a nurse, she is able to earn a living wage, but Life was not easy for this new widow and we get a peek at that in the last chapter.
Consider purchasing this book only if you have suffered enough to ask yourself how do Christians persevere and remain faithful in hard times.
