Shotgun Angels

My Story of Broken Roads and Unshakeable Hope

By: Jay DeMarcus, Timothy D. Willard

Narrated by: Jay DeMarcus

Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts reveals the untold stories of his journey--from obscurity to becoming one of America's most successful and beloved country music artists--that 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.

As you discover more about Jay and his incredible story, you'll be encouraged to:

• Embrace the life-changing power of hope
• Find out who you are under pressure
• Dream big dreams--even if they seem out of reach

With no shortage of humor, heart, and off-the-cuff candor, Jay gives you a backstage pass to the story behind the music and the musician. You'll follow his intensely personal journey through big breaks, 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's powerful enough to hold you up through whatever trials come your way.

Praise for Shotgun Angels:

"We all get asked at one time or another, 'How did this happen for you?' Usually our answers are uncomfortably awful. But Jay DeMarcus has dug deep inside to look not at his career but at himself. Such a rare look inside has created a rare book. Enjoy."

--Cris Collinsworth, NBCSports broadcaster and former NFL wide receiver

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

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.

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.

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.
