One need only observe the tenor of the current presidential election cycle, and it's obvious such qualities as sympathy, compassion, and understanding have quickly been replaced with intolerance, exclusion, and bigotry for many in our nation. Rather than be sympathetic with our fellow man or seek to find common ground with those from different backgrounds, the tendency now is to reach snap judgments and cast xenophobic aspersions on anyone who doesn't subscribe to our particular belief system. What is there to look forward to in a world growing so increasingly hostile and emotionally detached?

Enter Tales2Inspire ~ The Ruby Collection, a moving collection of stories compiled by editorLois W. Stern. Each of the stories featured in the collection is centered on the concept of compassion, which seems only fitting, considering the ruby is known to open the heart and promote loving relationships. The more salient stories of The Ruby Collection highlight the transformative power of self-sacrifice for the benefit of others, a trait we tend to see less and less in the modern reality TV era. Not just a human quality, The Ruby Collection also displays the ability of our furry and feathered friends to show compassion when needed, which leads one to question just how difficult it is for their human counterparts to do the same.

Powerful and enthralling, the stories of The Ruby Collection do an inspiring job of conveying the best of what mankind has to offer. An uplifting addition to any reader's personal library.

MORE FROM LOIS

Tales2inspire® was a kernel of an idea I initiated in 2012, growing in proportions even I didn’t dare to envision. My innate curiosity about potentially fascinating human interest stories was the spark that ignited this idea, but there was something more propelling me forward - my belief in the power of stories to shape our thinking. Famed biographer, Doris Kearns Goodwin has repeatedly written about this theme in relation to some of our greatest presidents, who recognized the power of stories and used their storytelling abilities to reach the people they were chosen to govern. Each of the non-fiction stories published in one of the Tales2inspire® books was selected similarly - not only for its artful writing, but for its skill in delivering an underlying message to inspire each of us to reach for the best within us.
