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.
Did you ever experience something that you felt couldn't have happened simply by coincidence - that perhaps an unknown force entered your life to take charge? These are the true 'Beyond Coincidence' inspiring stories written by everyday people just like you. Here you will read Heidi DuPree's story of the lost dog who landed in her Garden of Miracles at the very same moment her husband had met up with its distraught owner, frantically searching for her beloved Aussie, many miles from home. Here you will read Tina Chippas' remarkable story of how, through meeting a stranger in a German cemetery, she uncovered the history of her heroic grandfather, who saved the lives of thousands of people while sacrificing his own. This collection of inspiring stories will warm your heart, uplift your spirits, and sometimes leave you gasping the single word, "unbelievable ".

The man behind Spider-Man, The X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, and a legion of other superheroes tells his own amazing story in a book packed with punch, humor, anecdotes, and a gallery of never-before-seen photographs. Stan Lee is the most legendary name in the history of comicbooks. The leading creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics, he brought to life some of the world's best-known heroes and most infamous villains. His stories, featuring super- heroes who struggled against personal hang-ups and bad guys who possessed previously unseen psychological complexity, added wit and subtlety to a field previously locked into flat portrayals of good vs. evil. Lee put the human in the super-human. In the process, he created a new mythology for the twentieth century. In this treasure trove of marvelous memories, Stan tells the story of his life with the same inimitable wit, energy, and offbeat spirit that he brought to the world of comicbooks. He moves from his impoverished childhood in Manhattan to his early days writing comicbooks, followed by military training films during World War II, through the rise of the Marvel empire in the 1960s to his recent adventures in Hollywood. The story of a man who earned respect by blazing new creative trails in a storytelling form once dismissed as just for kids, Excelsior! is an inspirational story about following one's vision, no matter the odds. Yet it's also the story of how some of the most exciting and memorable characters in the pop-culture universe came to thrill a generation.
