Trust God, Love People: Stories of My Openhanded Faith by Jenny Marrs

In this inspirational memoir, the beloved co-host of HGTV’s Fixer to Fabulous asks: When you look back at the stories of your life, where do you see the markers of God’s faithfulness?

When Jenny Marrs looks at all the ways God has shown up in her life, she’s left with immense gratitude for a God who is always, ever faithful. Even as she has trusted that God was leading her, the big picture of her journey was often murky and unknown.

In
Trust God, Love People, Jenny opens wide the doors to her life and her family’s home to share stories of how little steps of faith have added up to an unexpected and abundant life. We ride shotgun next to her as she moves to Bentonville, Arkansas, where she knows almost no one, and watch her slowly put down roots. The sweet stories of how she met Dave and of their early days of marriage and first homes together are here, as are the candid pain and hope of their time spent waiting to start a family before joyfully welcoming their twin boys. Jenny shares intimate glimpses into their years-long fight to adopt their daughter Sylvie from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as behind-the-scenes details about how their work to restore old homes became Fixer to Fabulous.

Through it all, Jenny learns that God is trustworthy even in the moments when she feels fearful, worn out, or dejected.
Trust God, Love People is a guiding principle in Jenny’s life, and serves as a reminder that steadfast trust in our faithful, loving God allows us to love others well. As we, like Jenny, learn to take our next step in faith and love the people around us, we can walk confidently into adventures beyond our wildest expectations.

Precious read…..couldn’t put it down ❤️

I knew this book was going to be wonderful after purchasing and reading House-Love -Home! It certainly didn’t disappoint. Couldn’t put it down. Every “chapter “ of Jenny’s life and journey shows how God is so faithful even when we let the doubts and fears run rampant!
Psalm 70:4 says “But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!”
Thank you, Jenny Marrs. I will always treasure this book❤️

I ordered 3 copies, One for my granddaughter, one for my daughter, & one for myself. I love this book. I don't want to put it down. I find some of the things in this book that I have felt myself at points in my own life. I have to make myself put the book down to do my work. Then find myself picking up the book to read just a few more lines or pages. Last night I was having problems falling to sleep. I'd said my prayers, but kept tossing and turning in bed. Then this voice said Janet, get up and read a chapter or two of Jenny's book, you know you didn't read as much as you wanted too this evening. I can't wait for the next book you write to come out! I loved your first book, "Home + Love - Home by Jenny". We made a trip last year to come to the Berry Festival and you sign my book. I was in AWE that we really got to meet you, Dave, Pastor John & Oprah. You are so sweet we loved our talk with all of you. God Bless the work, we were so pleased that we could in some small way hep Pastor John & Oprah. This book now is the best! I can't wait for you to start another one. We love your show your carrying way you are with people. Someday we hope to see both you and Dave again. As you signed my book, "The sweetest kids in Illinois"

Oh my! I couldn't put it down. I cried, highlighted, and devoured it! I could feel Jenny's faith, joy, and pain as if it were my own. What an honest book and so full of scripture. I love the real life examples of living out the promises of God and staying steadfast through the doubts and fears. Thank you for sharing your joys and trials Jenny. I would recommend everyone read it!

A True Love Story

We've always admired Dave & Jenny. We have been in the broadcast business for 43 years and know the weight of living a public life. We have watched Dave and Jenny navigate with several HGTV 'stars' showing grace and love to each. This book is so personal, so detailed with emotions, always showing the faithfulness of God....but I'm honestly not finished reading it. I bought it to read on a long flight but can't put it down!! Thank you Jenny for writing this part of your journey.

This book is such a good read! It’s has given me some courage in facing my fears and leaning more into the lord! I can imagine it’s going to reach many people and I can see the lord saying “well done Jenny, well done”

Real people, honest faith

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. We've been a fan of your show, actually finding you guys the most relatable to us of any of the shows we watch. My wife loved getting to know you better, allowing her to be a part of your family. She couldn't put it down, finishing it in record time and asked me to read it.
What I enjoyed most is that you guys are real people of faith, not perfect, with common difficulties and problems, yet facing them with God's help and growing to trust Him more. I love seeing that you pray and keep praying for everything. Your book shows that Love is the ultimate command we need to seek to obey and that God will meet you right where you are and take you are and take you as far as you're willing to go.
Blessings, Bob Robertson

Faith on display

My wife and I both enjoyed this book thoroughly, and we deliberately didn't try to read it too fast. Jenny's approach to her faith and life are like a decent palate cleanser for your mindset after all of the negative one gets fed on a daily basis.
Thank you, Jenny, for your fearless approach to living out your faith and walking with our Lord. It's always a joy to watch your show, and this book tells why we enjoy it so much. God bless.

The title of this book was intentional and tied into each chapter.

I LOVED reading this book! It was just as if Jenny was having a face-to-face conversation with me. I LOVED her vulnerability in sharing personal experiences and boldness in sharing her faith. Blessings ❤️

Amazing book

I received my book on time and I loved it so much I ordered 1 for a woman at church who is not able to get out very often.
I also somehow was mailed three books together in a box for somebody else's order.But have not been able to get a hold of anybody to return them. I feel bad because these were probably somebody's Christmas present and all 3 of them are autographed.

Wonderful Book!!

I have enjoyed reading the book! I am the proud mom of two adult autistic sons so I don’t have very much spare time. I made time for this book though. Jenny’s faith and outlook on life is an inspiration. I also bought her previous book and enjoyed it but Trust God, Love People is my favorite.
