From the founder of Mary's Meals and the Sunday Times bestselling
author of The Shed That Fed a Million Children, Magnus
MacFarlane-Barrow travels the world encountering startling acts of
charity and the power of generosity. Few people in the world are
better placed to understand the role of charity and generosity than
Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow. As the founder and CEO of Mary's Meals,
Magnus helps feed and educate millions of children in 18 different
countries across the world every year. In a time when some
charitable organisations have been rocked by scandal and many are
questioning their effectiveness in the modern age, Give takes us on
an epic journey to rediscover the beauty and transformative power
of authentic charity. Powerful and inspiring, Give celebrates the
impact of charity in all our lives, illustrating how the act of
sharing - and even sacrifice - is the key to a life of joy.
An updated edition of The Shed That Fed A Million Children first
published in 2015. The original book tells the incredible story of
how Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, a quiet, unassuming fish farmer from
Argyll, Scotland, became the international CEO of a global
school-feeding charity. At that time, Mary's Meals was feeding a
million children every school day in some of the poorest countries
of the world. Fast forward six years and that figure has now
doubled to more than 2 million children who now receive Mary's
Meals daily in their place of education. In this edition, which
features an additional chapter as well as a new preface and
epilogue, Magnus brings the story right up-to-date, recounting how
the continued growth of the international movement has been made
possible, thanks to a global legion of staff, volunteers and
supporters. Their unwavering commitment, dedication and continued
'little acts of love' have created an organisation that now holds
the key to eradicating child hunger altogether. This humble,
heart-warming yet powerful story has never been more relevant in
our society of plenty and privilege. It will open your eyes to the
extraordinary impact that Mary's Meals makes in the lives of the
children it serves - for them, food changes the story. Speaking
Volumes Christian Book of the Year 2016. Previously published as
The Shed That Fed a Million Children.
