How to See With Your Heart

Janet Perez Eckles is an author, international speaker, radio host, life coach and the founder of JC Empowerment. As a blind woman, she is the last person you would expect to see dancing but she teaches thousands of people how to celebrate life.

She lost her eyesight at 31, her son was murdered and the man who committed the crime was acquitted.  In the midst of these traumas, she also had to cope with infidelity in her marriage.  Yet, she discovered how to turn a life of tragedy into a life of triumph.

Not only does Janet dance the Salsa but she has a You Tube COOKING show.  She does not believe in limiting ourselves - but to be strong and courageous and face every challenge in spite of adversities.

Do You Believe Truth is Universal?

You will find that Pamela Christian's books are very different from what you might expect.  In the first book of the series, she dissects the top five major world religions and New Age. This is to help readers learn the origin and beliefs for each religion to make an educated choice.

Pamela explains that "the world is broken" but what's needed to repair it does exist and is accessible if we are willing to do what it takes.

We must agree that governments, marriage and family, jobs, big business, and real estate markets have failed, including the Church. BUT real and certain hope in life exists.

Depression, suicide thoughts, chemical/alcohol abuse, worry, fear, anxiety can touch each of our lives in some way.  People are starved for hope and truth.  Pamela's book series can offer much to those seeking to understand this entire subject of truth and faith.
