What do you see when you push your trolley down a supermarket aisle? Each section contains brightly packaged cans, jars, bags or boxes all competing for your attention. But what if these aisles are also filled with something else?
Twenty-six fascinating stories of the origins of some of our best known companies, and the Christian faith of their founders.
Hidden like diamonds amongst the shelves are brands with amazing stories behind them. Each of these products holds an important life lesson.
What if, when you pick up a bar of chocolate, it’s actually a reminder to treat everyone with dignity? A box of ice creams might be more than a calorie filled treat; it could be the inspiration we need to keep trying in life no matter what! A bottle of juice might quench our thirst but it could also prompt us to pray.
Greta Pratt knew many of these stories and she shared them with her children, now we’d like to share these inspiring lessons with you – stories about generosity, humility, and kindness can all be found in the aisles of your supermarket.
