The TOW Project needs examples, cases, and illustrations. For short we'll call these "illustrations"
- One paragrah to one page long.
- Shows the application of a biblical principle or other resource of the Christian faith to a specific workplace situation.
- Is a true, real-life situation that can be documented.
- Fits a particular need from the Illustrations Needed list below
(In some cases, we may be able to use an illustration that fits a TOW article, even if the illustration doesn't fit a specific request in the article. Feel free to submit any illustration that contributes significantly to the article.)
How to submit an illustration
- Resigter (create a user ID) on this website if you don't have one already. The only information you have to give is an email address.
- Login.
- Click on one of the illustrations needed in the list below. That will take you to the article where that illustration is needed.
- Read the section of the article in question to make sure that your illustration really fits the need.
- Use the "Edit Draft" function (at the top of each article) to type in your illustration right into the article at the place where it's needed. (You can cut and paste instead of typing, if you like.) Don't worry about messing up the article -- you are actually working with a copy, not the original. If you get hopelessly messed up, you can just click "cancel" and start over. There is no way you can damage the site.
- When you are finished, click "Save" (just below the "Edit Draft" icon). One of the TOW Project editors will review your illustration and may edit it before it incorporating it into the live version of the article.
