Christianity and the Art of Wheelchair Maintenance

History & Biography

“This really interesting book lives up to its title, which is a reminiscence of Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It is an acutely observed, unsentimental account of life in a wheelchair, so engaging as to make an almost insider of the reader. It is also an account of the author’s spiritual and philosophical experiences. Although he is very well-read in both popular and weighty literature, his philosophizing is of the ‘do it yourself’ sort, which means it’s the real thing. So too is his wrestling with his Christian vocation. It’s an instructive as well as moving piece of literature.”
