NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 6, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — Christian business leader Marty McDonald announces the release of AUDACIOUS: A Bold Guide to Building the Life and Career You Want and Deserve (Hachette Books, October 14, 2025), a career guide for all readers that features her powerful testimony of how surrender to God’s plan unlocked miraculous provision.
“I was facing what seemed like an impossible financial situation,” McDonald shares. “I had wrestled with it for hours, searching for a solution that didn’t exist. Then, I released it all: ‘God, I don’t know how, but I trust You.’ The very next day, a sponsor I hadn’t spoken to in months called. They had $100,000 left in their budget and wanted to allocate it to my business.”
Marty’s journey began at seven when she gave her life to Christ in a small church, and continued at seventeen when she wrote her vision in the back of her Bible alongside Jeremiah 29:11. That early lesson in surrender proved essential decades later when McDonald built Boss Women Media and Elle Olivia—two businesses generating over $8 million in economic impact while serving women of color and families. Through Boss Women Media, she has distributed $1 million in funding to women entrepreneurs. Elle Olivia became the first Black-girl lifestyle brand in 400+ Target stores nationwide.
The book addresses universal challenges—comparison traps, scarcity mindsets, fear of rejection—through frameworks applicable to any professional, while McDonald’s chapters on surrender reveal how her faith shaped her approach to business and leadership. Readers will find tools to rewrite limiting narratives, strategies for powerful negotiation, step-by-step guidance for designing an audacious life, and McDonald’s transparent testimony of God’s provision throughout her journey.
“Surrender isn’t about sitting back and doing nothing; it’s about taking inspired action while trusting that God will handle the rest.” McDonald writes in her debut book.
To demonstrate the book’s methodology, McDonald launched the “Audacious Asks” initiative, encouraging readers nationwide to make bold requests. The campaign will be tracked through a landing page, social media, and integrated into McDonald’s book tour.
