Many students at Harding University have reached many accomplishments, and recently another student has made an achievement of her own. Junior Tayler B. Appleton, a biochem and molecular biology major, published her own book last month titled \u201cThe Fire Within One\u2019s Heart,\u201d a two-in-one novel discussing spiritual exploration and interpretations of scripture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Appleton initially aimed to publish short stories she had written before becoming inspired to work on her new book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was planning on just trying to publish those, but then I came to Harding and learned a bit more about philosophy,\u201d Appleton said. \u201c… And I’ve always been really passionate about philosophy, and I was like, \u2018Well I’ve never seen a book that’s like Christian devotional and philosophy,\u2019 so I decided to combine the two.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christian Faith Publishing Inc. served as Appleton\u2019s publisher, releasing \u201cThe Fire Within One\u2019s Heart\u201d on March 21. Two professors helped her with the book creation and publishing process, including Dr. David Donley, assistant professor of biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTayler has been an excellent student who is motivated and curious,\u201d Donley said. \u201cIf my students are nervous about trying something new \u2014 for example, completing a new technique in the lab \u2014 I will often tell them \u2018Just go for it, and you’ll learn along the way.\u2019 Tayler often does just that. She is willing to try new things and enjoys being involved in lots of different projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jonathan Wood, assistant professor of marketing, has helped her in the process of marketing her new book. He said he benefited from assisting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a doer,\u201d Wood said. \u201cShe will just do things. She doesn\u2019t sit around and wait for someone else, so she\u2019s actually really a lot of fun to watch, and she\u2019s very enjoyable to be around, and she\u2019s wise beyond her years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Appleton said \u201cThe Fire Within One\u2019s Heart\u201d will be available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble in the next month or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
