From best-selling author Bill Myers comes a hilarious, faith-filled, and action-packed adventure starring the Mulligan family. For some reason, things keep going wrong for the Mulligan kids. There was the incident with the bugs on the bus. Then came the mixed-up lunches. And now several animals have escaped from the park. What is going on? Could the curse that Madame Clare mentioned at her fortune-telling booth actually be true? What's more, could it seriously hurt their animal park and family connection. Will Mike Mulligan fail in his bid to oust the corrupt Mayor? Neither Michael nor Traci Mulligan had intended upon a large family, let alone one of such diversity. But God had other plans. After their second child, Lisa, was born blind, they began to see their gift for reaching out, connecting, and laughing with special children with special needs―all while raising their family among the many creatures living at the animal park that they operate. Are there trials? You bet. There's no way to keep the boat from rocking with so many children from such diverse backgrounds and in such an incredible environment. But their faith in Christ, commitment to one another, and ability to laugh at themselves keep them digging in to make it work.

In the tradition of Into the Wild, here is the riveting story of a young man seeking his own truth and finding adventure in the awesome, unforgiving power of nature. Will Chaffey is eighteen when he boards a plane in New York bound for Australia. Taking time off to work and travel, Will meets an enigmatic wanderer and herpetologist. Together they cross the inland desert to the tropical northwest coast, home to the saltwater crocodile, a known man- eater and a predator who has been hunting since the age of the dinosaurs. They devise a plan to explore the remote Prince Regent River, a trek so dangerous it had never been attempted by outsiders. Passing through harsh, primeval country, shadowed by their own exhaustion, and physically worn down, they find themselves locked in a life-and-death struggle when their food runs out and, unable to leave, they are stalked by a hungry crocodile. Filled with scenes of great natural beauty, Swimming with Crocodiles is at once the affecting account of a journey into adulthood and a hair- raising epic of survival.
