Joe Gallagher: From Bars To Jars, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From Bars To Jars: A Saucy Redemption Story is the raw, true, faith-driven journey of one man's collapse-and the unthinkable second act God had waiting on the other side. Once a Grammy-contending rock musician on the verge of stardom, Joe Gallagher Jr. spiraled into addiction, arrests, legal battles, and personal destruction, losing everything but breath itself. Two months into sobriety, with nothing to offer but his grandmother's old Italian recipe, he brought a pot of homemade spaghetti to a recovery meeting. That small act of service planted a seed that would transform his life and spark the birth of Apastioli, a handmade, Southern-born Italian sauce brand that grew from a few local stores into hundreds of grocery chains across the Southeast. As business success surged, so did spiritual warfare, betrayal, temptation, and moments of near-collapse, as Joe fought to protect not only his sobriety but the mission itself. Today, the Apastioli brand stands as a living redemption model, scaling simultaneously across books, retail, and film. With products being slotted into Food Lion, Piggly Wiggly, Publix, Whole Foods, Walmart, and Harris Teeter, and with Angel Studios actively developing a pilot for potential Netflix adaptation, Joe's story has grown into a rare multi-platform franchise while remaining grounded in honest, unsanitized faith. Featured in outlets like LA Weekly, Holy City Sinner, SC Biz News, and podcasts nationwide, From Bars To Jars delivers a brutally transparent message to anyone who's ever felt disqualified by their failures, while proving that grace can still break through boardrooms, business plans, and supermarket shelves. With echoes of Educated, Crying in H Mart, The Chosen, and The Bear, this first installment launches a growing series rooted in second chances, spiritual warfare, entrepreneurship, and Southern grit, as one man dares to believe that God still calls unlikely people for extraordinary assignments.
