David Harper is a speaker and the author of Wager the Wild Land. This is his continuing story of how he rose to the challenge of overcoming the difficulty of becoming confined to a wheelchair at the age of sixteen. Despite this change in lifestyle, he continued to pursue his heart's desire. He set a life's goal that has pushed him beyond his limits and inspired many others to do likewise.The axiom guiding his quest has been this: 'It's not the problems in life that define character, but how those problems are faced.' He writes to encourage others to find the source of courage and hope that he eventually discovered, and to face their own difficulties head-on. His life demonstrates we are created to achieve the satisfying reward of attaining our potential in Jesus Christ regardless of our condition
