"The book is prefaced by a brief glimpe of Weihsien Civil Assembly Center internment camp where Liddell spent 694 days of his life.”
"One vignette of the many Hamilton shares encapsulates the simple strength of Liddell’s character. Midway through the camp’s 2.5-year existence, more than 300 of students, ages 6-16, from an inland mission school were brought to Wiehsien, and Liddell subsumed himself in helping them cope. 'Liddell became ‘Uncle Eric’ to dozens upon dozens of them,' Hamilton writes. ’If he’d told us the moon was square, we’d have believed him,’ said one, remembering his impact on their young lives.’ ”
"Moments in this book – just like Eric Liddell’s life – are achingly beautiful. His character resonates across time and distance, and I hope this book gains the wide readership it deserves. Although parts of it are emotionally wrenching, this would be a fine read for teens as well as adults."
Reviews on Amazon use words like “amazing book,” “amazing and captivating tale of courage, self sacrifice and grace under pressure. Hard to put down.”

Release of this biography has been targeted for the Rio Olympics that will be held in about three months. I hope that, like others of Duncan Hamilton’s books, For the Glory wiil be released in other languages.
When Duncan Hamilton and his wife visited me, I told him that the core of Eric Liddell’s character centered in his faith in God and that Duncan must make that the theme of his book. Let’s be praying that this book will affect lives.
You can order the book now.

Poster, Joseph Fiennes plays Eric wearing British dress freeze, gentle but resolute and decisive; Dou Xiao Xu played the cow face solemn, Muguangruju, covered reveals a stubborn and unyielding; play "small stone" behind bathed in sunshine, his face filled with anticipation and longing. A glorious sunrise is to disperse the clouds, rising from the east ...... This is the beauty of human nature exudes radiance is coming dawn of victory.

> Joseph Fiennes for "Shakespeare in Love" is known to everyone, but in the "final victory", the whole body is still elegant English Lunfan children, the war "dirty handsome" styling has given Eric freedom, bold, courageous and resolute leadership qualities. The "literary man" on the third screen is also changed in the past frail bookish, not exude contempt of male hormones. Whether it is running in a hail of bullets, or concentration camps wisdom and courage to fight, the two high colour values "war hero" is very exciting.

After decades of preparation, removed Tianjin, Weifang, United Kingdom, Canada collected more material, to restore the true history, then artistic shaping and refining, which hardships "are not outsiders", but there is a belief has always supported Stephen Shin director pace of progress. Sin guide told Eric's story touched me deeply, make me cry five hours, but now many young people no longer feel that the emotion. They do not know who's in the White Terror, and how great "Big Love" between people, it allows Language imprisoned prisoners, mouth simple human oppression and violence against the aggressor, they live as self-esteem and elegant, and always keep the faith and hope.
>
> 2016 Cannes International Film Festival invited by the "ultimate victory" off soon. Videos high standard of quality natural self-evident, but director Stephen Shin complicated but stressed that "this is not a simple war movie, play a more important element is between people. From another perspective, this is an inspirational movie, and I hope that viewers see from hope. "

> Due to the special history of the war period, the domestic movie War not avoid deep ethnic hatred and red theme. It is characteristic of China's anti-war theme, but it has also become a film of this type of containment of. As the most senior Hong Kong film director, Stephen Shin preparations for the beginning, they have a more lofty artistic pursuit. "Ultimate Victory" successfully nominated the Cannes Film Festival, and humanity that transcends national boundaries "In love with violence," the war to make the world touched by the care. Also we hope that through the "ultimate victory" in the east, opening new doors for influence in the world of Chinese cinema.

Hi Mary,
Huang Yuelin asked if the book you wrote has Chinese version.
In fact, you mentioned in your previous email, "Chinese-English booklet for distribution in China. "
So it has Chinese translation.
