Shotgun Angels

My Story of Broken Roads and Unshakeable Hope

De: Jay DeMarcus, Timothy D. Willard

Narrado por: Jay DeMarcus

From one of America's most successful and beloved country music artists, Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus, Shotgun Angels reveals the untold stories of his journey and will rally your own courage to find hope where you least expect it.

From his humble beginnings in Ohio, to the spark of early fame in Nashville, to a fair share of surprises and setbacks, Jay has learned firsthand that the blessing only comes through the broken road. Shotgun Angels details his path to celebrated heights, as well as the hope instilled in him at a young age that started it all - a hope that sustained him when it looked like his music career was over and continues to fuel him today.

With no shortage of humor, heart, and off-the-cuff candor, Jay gives listeners a backstage pass to the story behind the music and the musician. You'll follow his intensely personal journey through big breaks and broken dreams, desperate dashboard prayers and limelight glories. Along the way, you'll find the same constant source of strength that he has - hope that is powerful enough to hold you up through whatever trials come your way.

Living after Adversity

Really enjoying the book. I have always liked Rascall Flatts. The answer to the question is a Child of God. My License plate says it all. WHOUBE. God is there always regardless of what we think. Take care and God Bless.

heartwarming

a must read/listen. what a very touching and moving story. made me think of the pain of losing my daughter at 21 and son at 34. how fast I have come because of God. thank you for sharing your story Jay

Insightful and promotes hope!

Thank you for sharing your story Jay! I do believe people who hear or read this story will be more aware of their own shotgun angels and hopefully take time to write how God has worked throughout their lives. It is also a good reminder of grace. Your words and perspective were humble and not preachy. I hope others will take time to read your story.

calming

Loved it! His voice is so calming to listen too. He is a great story teller

A great read of Jay's inspiring journey.

So glad he shared his personal story with us. Thanks for giving the glory to God and His will in your life. That is inspiring. This book is certainly worth reading and I highly recommend the audio book of Jay's voice telling his own story. I listened to the entire book on a cruise vacation, gazing out into the ocean and pondering what God has done in my life. Thanks for sharing your story with us Jay. I know it wasn't an easy road, but it's an inspiring story to share with others.

Love this story

Amazing story of life, faith and hope. Proof that fame and fortune are attainable with hard work and belief that God knows what's best.

Loved the rawness of his story!

Hearing Jay Demarcus read his own life story was so interesting. He shared the happy, the sad, the encouraging and the heartbreaking moments of life. So raw and honest, all the while giving hope and communicating grace. Hearing how God has grown his faith through the years was so encouraging.

Absolutely amazing!!

I loved it!! There were so many situations that I could relate to! My mom was my best friend! She was so faithful to God and it took awhile for me to grasp her faithfulness! I lost her in 2015 at the age of 78 and it was the most hurtful thing I have every been through!! I am a very dedicated fan of Rascal Flatts! Every song touches my life in some way! But this book touched my life even more! Thank you Jay, for sharing your story with the world! I truly loved it!

Raw Real and Honest

Rascal Flatts has always been one of my favorite bands. I’ve followed Jay since the Michael English days. His story of hope and strength mixed with “real talk” is worth the listen. Excellent book!

Very good message

I have always loved the music by Rascal Flats. Jay’s story and his ability to tell it is very well done! Thanks Jay for sharing your story with us. God Bless you!
