HGTV’s Jenny Marrs is getting ready for the release of her latest book, sharing her prayer for how it will affect readers.
“For the past two weeks, I’ve spent the white space of my days signing bookplates for pre-order copies of my new book,” she posted on Instagram. “As I signed, I listened to worship music and prayed over each person who will eventually receive these books and read my words.”
Marrs continued, “The work is done and my prayer for this book continues to be that God uses it to encourage and uplift weary hearts while reminding each person reading that He writes the very best stories. We simply have to trust Him (and love the people He places in our path along the way).”
She then shared Psalms 39:7 — “And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.”

Marrs’ new book is titled “Trust God, Love People: Stories of My Openhanded Faith.”
“Each time I sat down to write, I’d pray about which stories to share and then I’d wonder how in the world I’d ever take all of these stories and find the common thread connecting them,” Marrs wrote in an Instagram post. “Until, my editor read the first draft of the manuscript. She said simply: This book is about learning to trust God and then, in turn, loving the people He puts in my path as a result of that deep, abiding trust.”
She continued, “I have so much more to say about this book. It’s my heart on the page and I am so proud of it while also holding it loosely. Who knows what God will do with the stories He’s entrusted me with. I’m extremely nervous and extremely grateful to get to share them with the world very soon.”
Marrs has been keeping fans up to date on her writing process. In a post from March of this year, the HGTV star wrote, “This is it. I’m in the final days of editing my latest book before these vulnerable words of mine will head to the printer. I’m up to my eyeballs in old journals, cross-referencing and (over) analyzing every word choice.”
“Often, I could only see two or three feet ahead and simply trusted God for the destination,” she continued, “I pray the words I’ve written will be a blessing to you, friends.”
“Trust God, Love People” hits bookstores October 7!
