Critics Review
‘Such an inspiring and thoughtful rediscovery of the sheer beauty of charity. The loveliest book I’ve read this year.’ – Bishop John Keenan
‘A must read for everyone who has a heart to make a difference in the world.’ – Cheryl Weber, Host of 100 Huntley Street
‘there is an uncomplicated sincerity radiating from MacFarlane-Barrow that makes him an almost irresistible man of principle, both on the page and in conversation … In MacFarlane-Barrow charity has found a twenty-first-century champion.’ – Peter Stanford, The Tablet
Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow
Magnus began his career as a Salmon farmer in rural Argyll. When the Balkan conflict began, he and his brother were moved by scenes on television and gathered a jeep-load of aid. They joined a convoy travelling to Bosnia to distribute it. Upon his return home, Magnus expected to resume his job, but discovered that the public had continued donating. He therefore continued organising and distributing aid. In 2002, his work led him to Malawi, where he met a family whose situation altered the course of his work, leading to the birth of Mary’s Meals.
