I wouldn't trade my childhood for any other. Conceived in the Amazon rainforest, I learned to walk and talk among the Machiguenga Indians who, to this day, I call Rani.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Combine one family of American missionaries and 6,000 Machiguenga Indians with the Amazon jungle of Peru and you have a dynamite recipe for adventure. Written for ages 12 through adult, It's a Jungle Out There! is a book like no other. Ron's unique sense of humor is liberally sprinkled throughout each page. Yet, while you are laughing at his many escapades, you are also experiencing the blunt realities of primitive tribal life. And you come away with the realization that missions are needed, and that the Gospel changes lives. It's a Jungle Out There! appeals to a wide market. From youth groups to home schoolers to anyone who enjoys a good tale well told, this is a book that won't spend time on your shelf.

From the Author:

"Some of the stuff my brother and sisters and I got to do was just plain crazy, but my parents had a lot of faith in God and in us and especially in the Machiguengas, who often saved us from our own stupidity. There were lots of times when we'd ask Mom if we could do something and she'd say, 'Over my dead body.' So then we'd ask Dad and get the go-ahead. I wrote the book because I want people to get to know my family. But you have to understand that when I say 'family,' I'm talking about six Snells and 6,000 Machiguengas."
