“For this anthology of inspirational true stories, we are looking for narrative personal essays (creative-nonfiction short stories) written by and for Christian women that reveal myriad ways in which one’s faith has provided (provides) insight, guidance, comfort, and joy in navigating one’s life. Stories must be original, unpublished, true, and positive. Stories can focus on any of life’s challenges and/or blessings, and can be either serious or humorous or contain elements of both literay tones. We are not interested in ‘preachy’ stories that tell other people how to live their lives and how to practice their faith. Nor are we interested in stories that promote one branch, denomination, or form of Christianity over another. What we’re interested in is how your faith positively impacts your life and, by extension, the lives of and your relationships with your loved ones. You may cite one or more Biblical passages in your story; however, please keep in mind that this is a collection of personal stories and not a devotional.” Deadline August 15, 2010.
