Chariots of Fire revisited

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Charleson_and_Farrell_in_Chariots_of_Fire.jpg

If you never saw or loved the movie “Chariots of Fire” you may not be interested in seeing this. But since this is the last day of 2014, I am making this story available to the millions who did. In fact, if you have never seen it before I recommend that you be sure you do. It was a low-budget film made in Scotland that won four Oscars, including best picture of the year for 1981.


The movie focuses on two main characters – Eric Lidell, a Christian, and Harold Abrams, a Jew – competitors in Olympic running. This fascinating documentary that is narrated by still another major actor in the movie, examines the real lives of both men. It’s well done and those who enjoyed “Chariots of Fire” are almost certainly going to enjoy this. This is for you.–Ray

From "Chariots of Fire" here"s the life story of Olympic star Eric Lidell

One of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen was the Academy award winning “Chariots of Fire”. It’s the story of Olympic runner turned missionary, Eric Lidell. Eric believed Christ told him never to run on Sundays. So he never did, and because of this strong principle in his life it undoubtedly cost him one gold medal at the Olympics that he otherwise would have won. So strong was his faith in Christ that they made the movie to center on him.


The following video carries the life story of Eric Lidell and it tells you what happened to him after he did win Olympic gold. Eric’s life sends a powerful message to us all. –Ray
