(Or one could read his biography, I guess!) I found it so striking that he could have boarded the ship with his family -- indeed part of me thinks it was his responsibility to do so -- but he stayed to carry on to minister those who were in China.

And Chariots of Fire has long been one of my favorite movies, I remember quite well seeing on the big screen in 1982. To me the film reeks of what I would call an "utter decency" - such an honorable, Christ centered man was Liddell. He should serve as an inspiration to us all.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625550146562818105noreply@blogger.com
