Jay Demarcus Reveals Life Story In New Memoir ‘Shotgun Angels’

Jay DeMarcus is telling his life story in a new Zondervan book due out in April, Shotgun Angels: My Story of Broken Roads and Unshakable Hope. The memoir gives readers a backstage pass to the unique journey that led DeMarcus from small-town Ohio to some of the world’s largest stages.

“I’m really looking forward to sharing a pretty personal look at my path so far, as that isn’t something I’ve done yet,” said DeMarcus. “In Shotgun Angels, readers will hear never-before-told stories and get a glimpse into what it was like for me coming from Columbus Ohio and my journey to Nashville. My ultimate goal is that the book will encourage people that no matter where they are in their lives, they can find hope, comfort and strength in their faith.”

Set for release April 30, the book rollout will include a major national media launch and a multi-city book tour.
