Use your best fiction techniques to develop the story of a likable protagonist to who overcomes insurmountable odds to reach a happy , positive, or satisfactory conclusion. This type of article is most often used by women’s or general-interest Christian or secular magazines, not by technical or how-to publications. Examples: Story of someone who has overcome huge obstacles; story of a family that has adopted disabled children; story of someone who has learned how to trust God through difficult times.
