Description
Book SynopsisIn 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?For Jenny Marrs, looking 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. But even as she trusted that God was leading her where she was supposed to go, the big picture was often murky and unknown, the path ahead blocked by obstacles and opposition, the daily experience filled with waiting and expectation.
In
Trust God, Love People, Jenny opens wide the doors to her life and her family’s home to share the stories of how taking 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, a town where she knows almost no one, and watch how she slowly puts down roots. The sweet stories of how she met Dave, and the early days of marriage and first homes together are here, as is 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 Congo, as well as behind-the-scenes details about how their work to restore old homes became
Fixer to Fabulous.
In the moments when Jenny feels fearful, worn out, or dejected, she has seen God faithful to redeem and restore.
Trust God, Love People is a guiding principle in Jenny’s life, and is a reminder to us all that when we place our trust in God, He will be ever faithful, and we can respond by loving the people He has put into our lives. The stories in this book inspire us to look to God to guide our next step. As we, like Jenny, learn to take the next step in faith, and love the people around us, we can walk confidently into adventures beyond our wildest expectations.
