International speaker, author. and founder of JC Empowerment Ministries, Janet Perez Eckles has been called an expert in overcoming adversities. Janet’s newly released memoir, Now I See: How God’s Amazing Grace Turns Betrayal, Blindness, and Heartache to Shining Joy empowers readers to discover the same glorious victory she reached after her own trials—blindness, the murder of her son, the acquittal of the man responsible, and the death of her 42-year marriage. But rather than live defeated, God met her sorrow with His grace leading her to a life that celebrates with glorious victory. “This captivating journey from tragedy to triumph through perseverance and deep faith in God will stir your heart and transform how you navigate life’s trials. Unthinkable challenges and unexpected adversities.” — Jason Noble, pastor and motivational speaker, featured in the Twentieth Century Fox film Breakthrough and on the marketing team for the Kingdom Story film Jesus Revolution. She’s the author of five books: Trials of Today, Treasures for tomorrow, Simply Salsa, Hola Happiness and Contagious Courage. In today’s chaotic times, her writing uplifts readers and ignites a passion to overcome and triumph over fear and anxiety. She does the same from the stage when she addresses English and Spanish-speaking audiences nationally and internationally. With a blend of Latina passion, unexpected humor, insight and biblical wisdom, she illustrates the beauty of restoration, the joy that comes after adversity, and the abundance that tenacity and faith bring. Her writings have appeared in thirty-two Chicken Soup for the Soul titles, Guidepost Magazine, Crosswalk.com, and hundreds of print and on-line publications. Her joy-filled recount of her journey has been featured on Christian radio and TV programs from Focus on the Family to the 700 Club and on the cover of Hispanic Woman Magazine. She’s the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Central Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Beyond Me Award from AWSA, Latina Women Who Make a Difference Award, Professional Excellence Award by Language Line Solutions, and first runner-up for the Ms. Senior Florida Pageant, 2022.
