The Diamond Collection Series I contains selected stories from two of Tales2Inspire's most popular gift books, the Emerald and the Topaz Collections, a double header that combines two book under one cover. Each of these stories was a winner in a Tales2Inspire annual, international contest. Now the best-of-the-best, the most popular and diverse set of stories from these two books are included in this one collection.The Emerald, the gemstone symbolizing psychic powers and self-knowledge, was a perfect fit for the original Tales2Inspire book subtitled, 'Beyond Coincidence'. These are the stories that often make even the most skeptical among us question: “Could there be an unknown force, a stronger power taking charge?” Although each of these stories is a true account, don't be surprised if you find yourself gasping “unbelievable” as you finish reading some, or simply getting a feel good rush from others.The second set of stories come from the Topaz Collection, a book subtitled Awakenings & Aha Moments. Moments such as these happen every day, but the most powerful ones are those that suddenly bring us clarity of vision, fresh new perspectives, possibly even revelations on how to lead more meaningful lives. I do think the Topaz the gemstone, which symbolizes self-realization, truth and forgiveness, is a perfect match for this set of stories. Each of the non-fiction stories filling the pages of this anthology is a joy to read. Some might even awaken you to some fresh new ideas to embrace into your life.
