Twice Delivered: A Story of Two Families, Two Worlds, and One Redeeming Love

-ABOUT THE BOOK: Delivered by Adoption. Redeemed by Grace. Born in a remote mountain village in Ethiopia, Isaac Melber's life began with loss. Orphaned at a young age and placed in an orphanage, his future seemed uncertain-until a family from Kentucky crossed an ocean to bring him home. But Isaac's story is more than an adoption story. In Twice Delivered, Melber shares the raw, deeply moving journey of growing up between two worlds-wrestling with grief, identity, anger, belonging, and faith. Returning to Ethiopia thirteen years after his adoption, he confronts the questions that shaped his childhood: Who am I? Why did this happen? Where does my story fit in God's plan? With disarming honesty and profound spiritual insight, Melber reveals how what once felt like abandonment became divine placement, how painful providences became sacred turning points, and how adoption-both earthly and eternal -points straight to the heart of the gospel. Blending memoir, Scripture, and pastoral reflection, Twice Delivered speaks powerfully to adoptees, adoptive families, foster parents, and anyone who has ever struggled to see God's goodness in the middle of loss. This is a story about sovereignty and suffering, about identity and redemption, about a God who wastes nothing. Adopted once into a family. Adopted again into the family of God. This unforgettable testimony will leave you with renewed faith, deeper compassion, and unshakable hope in the God who is always writing a greater story than we can see. "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." -Romans 8:28
