Robin Jackson is a personable and skilled
communicator with 14 years of corporate
communications experience.
Not only a talented performer, Robin has
a remarkable track record of overcoming
adversity.
Like many women, Robin Jackson’s life was
fun, stressful, busy, and
crowded with good
things: a committed marriage, a delightful
toddler, and a high-achieving career in
corporate communications. It looked outwardly
successful yet felt vaguely dissatisfying. On
one ordinarily frenetic day, everything
changed.
Less than a month after receiving a
perfect score on her performance review,
Robin was sidelined by a disabling
spinal injury in early 2001. After
completing physical rehabilitation, and
returning to work, Robin's employer
implemented several reductions in force.
Jackson was offered the option to
convert to vendor status to avoid a
layoff. She took it.
Because of a relationship with Jesus
that can only be called transformational,
Jackson experienced tremendous restoration in
her health, her heart, her family and her
career. After several months of
rehabilitation after the injury, Robin
founded Lighthouse Productions Inc. and began
writing novels, short fiction, magazine
articles, and inspirational non-fiction.
Robin tells her story of overcoming
disability in her upcoming book If You’re
Out of Hope I’ll
Lend You Mine: God’s Mercy to Me in
Disability. In addition to her creative
writing, Mrs. Jackson speaks to disability
support groups, women’s groups, community and
church groups, raising awareness on
disability and proclaiming that wholeness and
healing is possible. Her message of hope in
the midst of suffering is relevant to any
audience.
As a speaker and writer, Robin Jackson is
beloved by her readers and audience for her
candor and earthy
humor. Robin
tells it like it is—in ways many Christians
only muttered to themselves or didn’t dare to
articulate. Readers are encouraged by Robin’s
warm and compassionate voice and generous
helpings of laughter. By giving voice to the
reality of suffering and the promise of
mercy, readers hear their own thoughts
reflected in a voice they instantly recognize
as their own.
