Eric Liddell’s admirably practical guide to discipleship is as relevant today as it was for those who first read it in manuscript: his fellow prisoners in the Japanese war camp where he died of a brain tumour in 1945.

It would be over 40 years until this highly regarded manuscript was published as The Disciplines of the Christian Life. Now reissued as a classic text, it vividly reveals the author’s single-minded devotion to Christ. As he outlines his pattern for living, helpfully linking this to a day-by-day Bible reading course on basic Christian beliefs, it is difficult not to feel strengthened and encouraged on the race of faith each one of us is called to run.

‘A testament to a simple, true, undiluted faith. It is encouraging and grounded in love and . . .  is fascinating in two respects: it remains relevant and useful as a simple daily bible study and reflective work, but also offers an insight into the force which drove Liddell to lead and live his truly remarkable life.’
