God and Me: Daughter of Eric Liddell

By Maureen Liddell Moore

My father, Eric Liddell, first became famous as the man who would not run the 100 meter Olympic race on a Sunday. Unexpectedly, he went on to win the 400 meter race and became a hero. This story is told in the movie "Chariots of Fire" which once again catapulted him onto the world stage. He gave up fame and fortune to become a missionary teacher in China and entered relative obscurity. He believed God made him for China and that is where his most impressive achievements were made, first as a teacher and then for his work with the peasants in the country. When the Japanese invaded China my two sisters and my mother, pregnant with me, were sent to safety in Canada. My father was interned in a Japanese camp where he became a beloved light in a great darkness to hundreds of people. He died of a brain tumour shortly before the end of the war, never to see his wife and children again. I never met him."God and Me'" is a collection of poems and stories that tell the tale of my search for my father's love, his deeper faith and that elusive Presence some of us call God.The art in "God and Me" captures the essence of the poetry. The poetry describes a way of being with God in the world."God and Me" is a thought provoking and compelling read for all seekers of truth.
