"I began writing the book eleven years ago when my children were young. I would tell my children late night stories that emphasized family values, wholesome living and the ability to survive against any obstacle. The Robinsons were faced with many of the same challenges that exist in the world today ““ that threatened families, nations, and freedom." ““ TJ Hoisington
Original Story:
The original Swiss Family Robinson adventure story was written by Johann David Wyss and published in 1812. This classic depicts a family who lost all their possessions following the French Revolution and sought refuge in England. However, they ultimately decided to make their new home in Port Jackson, Australia. At the time, there was much excitement in the pursuit of sharing the light of the gospel with distant lands. William Robinson, the father, had been a pastor in Switzerland and was excited to spread the “good word“. His plan was to become a free settler and use his knowledge, both practical and theory, to open a church in the new land.

His plan was to become a free settler and use his knowledge, both practical and theory, to open a church in the new land.
Unfortunately, while sailing from England to Australia, the family becomes shipwrecked and learns to survive on a remote island.
During their journey to Port Jackson, they stopped by the island of Otaheite to gather provisions. Leaving the island, they sailed off the coast of New Guinea when a violent storm arose that drove their ship violently off course. For days, they were tossed to and fro in the midst of a terrible storm until eventually they landed upon a remote island in the East Indies. When the storm subsided, the Robinsons searched the ship only to find they were the only survivors.

The Robinson family abandoned the ship and made the remote island their new home. They learned to survive and thrive using the natural resources on the island. Swiss Family Robinson exquisitely details how the Robinsons used the natural resources surrounding them to facilitate their survival. It is a stunning account of the power of values and relationships that allowed the Robinsons to live in peace and abundance. In essence, Johann David Wyss taught his family how to survive and love.
