By the flickering light of a peanut-oil lamp, early each morning Eric Liddell and a roommate studied the Bible and prayed for an hour. No doubt, Liddell’s unreserved commitment to God equipped him to be the guiding light for prisoners from nearly 20 nations who spent two years in a Japanese interment camp in China during World War II. Liddell’s plan worked, even in the worst of conditions. His friendship to Christ strengthened him to encourage his fellow prisoners until his death a few days before the end of the war in 1945.
