The Magnolia Story (with Bonus Content) by Chip Gaines & Joanna Gaines Book Summary

This eBook includes the full text of the book plus an exclusive additional chapter from Chip and Joanna that is not found in the hardcover!

Are you ready to see your fixer upper?

These famous words are now synonymous with the dynamic husband-and-wife team Chip and Joanna Gaines, stars of HGTV’s Fixer Upper. As this question fills the airwaves with anticipation, their legions of fans continue to multiply and ask a different series of questions, like—Who are these people? What’s the secret to their success? And is Chip actually that funny in real life? By renovating homes in Waco, Texas, and changing lives in such a winsome and engaging way, Chip and Joanna have become more than just the stars of Fixer Upper, they have become America’s new best friends.

The Magnolia Story is the first book from Chip and Joanna, offering their fans a detailed look at their life together. From the very first renovation project they ever tackled together, to the project that nearly cost them everything; from the childhood memories that shaped them, to the twists and turns that led them to the life they share on the farm today.

They both attended Baylor University in Waco. However, their paths did not cross until Chip checked his car into the local Firestone tire shop where Joanna worked behind the counter. Even back then Chip was a serial entrepreneur who, among other things, ran a lawn care company, sold fireworks, and flipped houses. Soon they were married and living in their first fixer upper. Four children and countless renovations later, Joanna garners the attention of a television producer who notices her work on a blog one day.

In The Magnolia Story fans will finally get to join the Gaines behind the scenes and discover:
The time Chip ran to the grocery store and forgot to take their new, sleeping baby
Joanna’s agonizing decision to close her dream business to focus on raising their children
When Chip buys a houseboat, sight-unseen, and it turns out to be a leaky wreck
Joanna’s breakthrough moment of discovering the secret to creating a beautiful home
Harrowing stories of the financial ups and downs as an entrepreneurial couple
Memories and photos from Chip and Jo’s wedding
The significance of the word magnolia and why it permeates everything they do
The way the couple pays the popularity of Fixer Upper forward, sharing the success with others, and bolstering the city of Waco along the way
And yet there is still one lingering question for fans of the show: Is Chip really that funny? “Oh yeah,” says Joanna. “He was, and still is, my first fixer upper.”

Truly Inspiring!. Such a breath of fresh air to read about a family that is so real, so true and authentically themselves. The book goes well beyond great design and deeply into great people, great values and a beautiful life. A truly inspiring book that speaks to your soul and reminds you to listen to your inner voice, do what you love and create the life of your dreams!

Inspiring and Humble. Great book to read at any time. Their honesty shows that we all have difficult seasons in life. It further brings to light the decisions we can make to find positivity and growth. Truly inspirational.

Heartwarming!. An inspiring easy read.

Thank You. Wow, Chip and Jo! What a treat it was to read your story. You guys truly are an inspiration. Thank you for allowing the world into your lives and home . I certainly look at my hopes and dreams a lot differently now and will continue to not just survive but thrive. God bless you! -MK

Amazed. love, love, love this beautiful, industrious couple!! cannot get enough! very easy read. looking forward to more!

The Magnolia Story. Read the book through in 1 day laughing out loud. As 1/2 of a renovating couple I totally related and could "feel" the stress or joy and the aches and pains. The book was more than renovations: it's spiritual, inspiring, showing the good with the bad. It gently pushes you off the couch away from the TV to motivate the reader to return to the fun challenging projects that got pushed into a closet last time company came to spend a weekend in the guest bedroom/craft room. Many thanks for a wonderful read, might have to road trip to the Waco Silo's.....

The Magnolia Story. Absolutely loved this book! I have loved the Gaines family from the getgo and this book was just the cherry on my sundae! I am a forever fan

Best. Book. Ever.. I'm a big book reader and I will read anything. I usually don't like most books but I thought I would give this one a try bc Fixer Upper is my favorite tv show and I love the design industry. Reading this book and watching the episode "Fixer Upper Revealed" it really showed me how to own a space and make it your own. Great book that everyone should read. There's embarrassing Chip moments! (My fav parts) lol😂

LOVE. I absolutely love this book! Their story is heart warming and inspirational. One of my faves.

Authentic and fun. Loved the book! So fun to see the story behind the success! Such a genuine couple and their story is so good!

Completely inspirational.. May the Lord continue to bless Jo, Chip and the kiddos journey. Thank you for always placing God as the rock of your business and your family. Thank you for being an inspiration, sharing your story, and never giving up. I visited the silos from Fort Lauderdale Florida. I brought home a mug and then read this incredible story. I loved y’all before and I love y’all even more after reading about your journey!

Inspiring!. Great story! Very inspiring!

Inspiring and Real!. This was such an easy, feel good read! I've watched Fixer Upper a handful of times and enjoyed it but wasn't a show that I just had to watch. After reading about Chip and Joanna and their start together, I can't wait to watch it again and see how I feel. It's refreshing to hear about their Christian life and the challenges they faced to get where they are, all the while keeping the faith and love for each other and, most importantly, putting their family first. Also, I can't wait to get started on the redecoration of my own home, with new found confidence!

Love love love. I am not a reader by any means but have kept up with “Fixer Upper” for a while now. Once i began reading this book i couldn’t put it down! From the humor to the messages and faith of these two I can’t help but think that much more of them! This is so great!!

Chips Book is great too.. Both this and Chips book are great. We need more people like them in the world.

Loved this.. Great story. Great sharing of the how and when, with an underlying call and nod to God. Love this couple.

FfdztsE. I’m gonna do d

the magnolia story. a real and inspiring true story.

Inspiring. The story of Chip and Jo is so inspiring. It is so refreshing to hear a couple talk so positive about their relationship with each other, their family and their faith in God. That is what makes both their show and this book such a success

Inspiring!!. Incredible story of perseverance and determination. Very likable and relatable. Great life lessons and advice.

Really awesome!. This book is truly for everyone. Man or woman, fan of the show or not. Fun to read and truly inspirational! I haven’t seen them all, but I like the show and thought it might be an interesting read, but it blew me away with the depth of story and life lessons that are applicable to anyone. Highly recommend!

Great book!. Very inspirational

Awesome Read!!!!. I love Chip & Joanna's story! I laughed, and even shed a tear or two! So inspiring how God worked through their toughest times, and how they never gave up on pursuing their dreams, and they never gave up trusting God in every circumstance! Awesome! May God continue to bless their family! Sincerely Donna B MS

Inspiring. What a ride these two have had! Lovely story of how opposites can attract and it can work!

Love Fixer Upper. My favorite HGTV show, love the Gaines family, so authentic, feel the love they have for each other. Very well written, highly recommend.

The humble American dream. Loved everything about this book!

Magnolia the Magnificent. I couldn't put this book down. I've been a fan of this couple since I first watched their show. We need more families like the Gaines in our world. The world would be a much happier, healthier and certainly prettier place to live. Even though I'm a control freak, I would happily handover the reins to the Gaines to decorate or design my home. They are a classy family and that's why they are loved by all. Their book deserves to be on the New York bestsellers list as number one!

Magnolia Story. I loved this book so much!!! You inspired me in so many ways, Chip and Joanna. I couldn't put this book down. Thank you for letting us into your personal life and with all your struggles as well. You have such a wonderful family. I also Loved the pics!!!!

5 stars well deserved!. Absolutely loved this book! Love how honest and open Chip and Jo are throughout. Loved reading their story. Loved hearing how Fixer Upper came to be, how they met, how they tackled life and its many twists and turns together. Truly an inspirational couple and an inspirational read! Didn't think it was possibly to like these two more but I was wrong! :-)

Fun Read!. The book read exactly like they talk. I loved the stories from their beginning homes to Chip getting on the "wrong side of the law". They obviously love each other and their family very much and it was inspirational to read about Jo's inner voice and so many things coming together to put them where they are today.

Yay. Yes

Amazing.. The book is incredible and I've never really liked a book before. From a non-book reader saying that a book was so good, people who love books, I know, will love it. The book is worth buying. Just it's such an amazing book. I 100% recommend buying it.

The Magnolia Story. What an amazing story. I love their show, but I love who "they" are. Wish I had this book when my children were small, but thankful I read it for my grandchildren. I will share a copy with each of my sons and their families! God's Grace. Thank you for sharing! Cindy

Great Love Story. This is a great book on the two of them and their love story and how the magnolia fits in their story. Great book to read. I definitely recommend it

Inspiring. I was expecting to read all about flipping houses but when they talked about the miracles of prayer and their faith showed how inspiring this couple is.

Austin, Tx.. I really enjoyed reading the Gaines story. I'm proud that they are Christians and gave God his due credit. How refreshing. I shall visit Magnolia one day soon. What a great couple and adorable family. Cindy Todd Austin, Texas 78734

Chip and Joanna Gaines. I love how this smart pretty funny couple took design by storm and ran with it

Loved every page!. I don’t know what I expecting but it was so much more. To be emotionally drawn in and captivated at the same time.

Inspiring. This book came to me at a good time. Sometimes we get so caught up in life and we forget how involved God is in your life and I this was a nice reminder. Plus, their story is inspiring. I want to live a life like theirs. Embracing the moment and trusting God. I was truly touched and inspired to live a life you love and helping others along the way.

Nice story, but even nicer message.. Felt at home while reading this book. It made me wonder how I could make my home feel like home. I got the main message from it, to realize ones self image on what style is and go with it. To make something to last a lifetime, not just for the moment. Very good book!

Magnolia a Story. What a wonderful heartwarming book. So glad to see this couple is as authentic as the appear on their TV series. Sit down with a cup of hot tea and enjoy the ride!

Honest and Uplifting. "Find that which you love and do it until it hurts." This a beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness in the lives of Chip and Joanna Gaines. Shows a God that is for us, that has a plan for each of us, and will be there to help us turn it into a reality if we're willing to listen.

Nothing of substance. I write this review as a fan of Chip and Joanna. This book is not worth the time to read it. If anyone actually paid $14 for this book I am so sorry for you. I enjoy both of these TV personalities and deeply hope their relationship is as strong as they portray on tv. This book is honestly a waste of time and effort. I'm am so glad I got it from the local library rather than purchasing it. If Chip and Joanna really wrote this nonsense I hope you get yourselves right before cheating anyone else. Shame.

Great couple and family in addition to being top notch entertainers on HGTV. Book was well written and also entertaining. I suspect their show and the Property Brothers are keeping HGTV a float. The Flip and Flop segments need to be revamped with new hosts

Inspiring, suspenseful and heartwarming. Great book. I don't think I've ever read a book so fast in my life!! This couple is so inspiring in everything that they do. I love how they have God in their lives and have shown their trust in Him through out their lives. God always provided for them when they needed it most. That inspires me to put more trust and hope in God that with a life with Him things will be ok.

The Magnola Story. Really enjoyed the peek into their life.

Great read, Better couple. Chip and Joanna have a fun way of keeping things interesting yet simple. I enjoyed reading their story and wish them the best of luck!

Mission accomplished. No matter where you are or what it is you're passionate about, Joanna's book has certainly accomplished its purpose. To listen to that voice that says, "Don't give up." Truly an inspiration

Well done. I fell for the authentic candor

Just amazing!!. Such a cute, captivating story of their lives and how it all started and how they begin new chapters as their daily life continues :)
