I enjoyed sharing Eric Liddell - Are you Ready? with my young children. The reading level of the book is appropriate for parents to read aloud to children ages 4-5 and for kids to read to themselves at ages 6-7. This would be a great book to share with your children ages 4-7 in relation to the upcoming 2012 London Olympics. As the title suggests, the book focuses on Eric being ready, contrasting his preparation for the Olympics and his preparation to serve God. This theme in the book would serve as a good catalyst for discussion on life's priorities, especially things that may get in the way of serving our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
