The Rugby Chair Warrior is the true, faith-filled journey of a young South African whose life changed in a single moment-but whose purpose only grew stronger.
At eighteen, rugby was everything: future, identity, freedom. Then a summer dive into a swimming pool ended with a catastrophic spinal injury. Paralysis. Hospitals. Grief. A future erased.
But God was not finished.
Through months of rehab, hard days, and the prayers of a relentless mother, a new door opened: wheelchair rugby-fast, fierce, strategic, and full of life. On the court he rediscovered competition, brotherhood, and joy. Off the court, doors opened for him to share his testimony in churches, schools, and community halls: your circumstances don't define you-your faith and choices do.
From learning to push a chair to representing at top-level competition... from broken dreams to speaking hope into others... this powerful story shows how God turns tragedy into purpose. Anchored in Philippians 4:13-"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"-this book will lift readers who feel sidelined by injury, loss, disability, or discouragement.
