+ Stories are selected, edited and posted on a quarterly basis. If yours is published, we will let you know by emailing you at the address you provide below with your submission. Thanks for your interest in sharing! + --Barrett, Chief Messenger, Touched by the Hand of God :: SUBMISSION GUIDELINES :: Please read these first, then submit your story per the instructions at the end of these guidelines. If you are under 18 years of age, see item #4 before proceeding further. A story that’s suitable for this web site will tell about a remarkable event when God left an indelible handprint on your life. Many of these events are answers to our prayers. Others seem to come out of the blue. All have a special "wow factor" that surpasses the ordinary. For example, your story might…
* Tell how an unexpected but much-needed helping hand (a heaven-sent angel?) came your way when you needed it most. * Describe a remarkable chain of events that fell into place at a critical time in your life, setting you on a new path. * Relate a small, quiet moment of comfort, guidance or revelation that lifted your spirits, gave you direction, hope, etc. * Report a life-changing, odds-defying miraculous event. As you write your story, use this checklist: 1. Report the events as clearly and concisely as you can, in a way that anyone with no knowledge of the situation (or the people appearing in it) can follow what happened and how you/your loved ones were affected. It may help to read your story aloud to someone who’s not intimately familiar with what happened in your story. Then ask them if they understood the events you described and could keep up with who did what or who said what. The key is to tell your story in a simple, direct way like a newspaper article – covering what, who, when and where – while letting your own voice shine through. You are encouraged to include a few brief sentences about what this event or moment has meant to your own spiritual journey. 2. Please keep story length to 600 words, although it certainly need not be that long! If used, your submission may be edited for length, clarity, grammar, etc., but its essence will not be changed. 3. You are welcome to submit more than one story if you have been so blessed! Please make sure, however, that they are materially different and not simply variations upon a previously submitted story. Keep in mind: 4. Please note that the story must be about you or a loved one. If the latter and they are not your young children, they need to be comfortable with your submitting a story about them. NOTE: anonymous submissions or hearsay stories (i.e., web lore, pass-along e-mails, etc.) cannot be accepted, due to potential legal liability. Please refrain from submitting material containing unsavory situations, inferences or language. Any questions, contact us via the below form. If you are under 18 years of age, you must contact us FIRST via the "Contact Us" link above to arrange to send us parental consent. We will give you an e-mail address and instructions to follow.
