Emphasis Preaching Journal

The movie Chariots Of Fire is based on the true lives of two Olympic runners and what makes them run. You can see the difference between the two men right in the film's opening. As the music of the hauntingly beautiful theme plays we see the group of athletes running along the beach in training. One by one the camera invites us to examine their faces. Eric Little, the Scotsman who is also an evangelist, a son of a missionary who later became a missionary himself, runs with relish, a smile on his face. He runs because he loves it.
