GIVE - the new book from Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow

Charity and the Art of Living Generously

“We are not charity itself. Organizations do not perform acts of charity – individual human beings do.”

Drawing from almost 30 years of charity work and leadership, Magnus has written a new book examining the role of philanthropy and generosity in our lives. As founder of Mary's Meals, he recognizes the innate goodness of people and witnesses daily the huge impact little acts of kindness can have.

At a time when some charitable organizations have been rocked by scandal and many are questioning their effectiveness in the modern age, GIVE takes us on a 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 – can be the key to a life of joy.
