Book Description
“You’re listening to Delilah.” Delilah, the most listened-to woman on American radio, has distinguished herself as the “Queen of Sappy Love Songs” and America’s ultimate romance guru. But Delilah’s life off-air is all the more extraordinary—a life full of trials, forgiveness, faith, and adventure. In One Heart at a Time, Delilah’s heartfelt account of her own story reveals what shaped the voice that 9 million listeners know and love. Today, Delilah is the founder of an NGO called Point Hope, the owner of a 55-acre working farm, and an inductee of the National Radio Hall of Fame. But to achieve this, she often had to pave her own way. Disowned by her father, divorced, and fired from a dozen jobs over the years, Delilah pushed forward through family addiction and devastating loss, through glass ceilings and red tape. Her consistent goal to help those in need took her everywhere from the streets of Philadelphia to refugee camps in Ghana. Along the way, Delilah was blessed by thirteen children—ten of them adopted. Though many of them contend with special needs and the forever effects of a broken foster care system, her children have been able to transform their own remarkable lessons into guiding lights for other kids in need. Just as Delilah has done. One Heart at a Time exposes the real woman behind the microphone. In her easy-going style and characteristic, beloved voice, Delilah tells her deeply moving life story as the series of miracles it is.

Book Description
This is a book of faith, love, and the real-life workings of a hands-on God. It centers on a personal story about a husband and wife who come to a spiritual crossroads and need to decide whether to trust in a strange "message" (delivered by their 6-year-old daughter) that they believe may be divine or to ignore it and, in doing so, miss some God-given blessings their family was meant to receive. The wife is ready to make the right choices, but the husband is not. His intellect tells him to overlook the message, but his heart cannot. He follows his heart but the road to which it leads is uncertain and difficult. He questions his choices and even tries to sabotage his own plan at one point. However, he fails, and the plan goes on, resulting in a happy and successful adoption of a second child. The underlying message of this story is that everything seems to be supernaturally connected and that we all have blessings that are waiting to be discovered. But to truly get them (or at least see they are there), we must have faith to make the choices that lead to them.
