"As agronomy is the care of the soil and Dr. Arnold's life work, he
shares with the reader his care for the soul as he travels through
life in this insightful autobiography. The reader becomes a visitor
in the lively dialog among family members and colleagues as Dr.
Arnold reveals conflicts and resolutions in the world of faith and
science. His subtle sense of humor adds a light touch to this
amazing journey." - Anne S. Owens, President Samar Publishing Inc.
"Wendell Arnold's beautifully written story of his life is so
intriguing I couldn't put it down. When you read this book, you
will discover the author is a man who dearly loves his family and
friends. Furthermore, his completely committed faith in our Lord is
a role model for all Christians." - Doris Hodges "Faith and
Science. Can one person truly emote to these two different worlds?
In this book, the autobiographer reveals his unwavering deep faith,
while overcoming many challenges as he lived a professional life as
a well respected and successful scientist. Read on and discover a
true story that is deep in meaning, yet inter spaced with happy
family memories and light diversions. The reader will have much to
ponder long after the end of the book." - Jo Watkins "Science and
religion walk hand in hand in Wendell Arnold's journey from a farm
boy to the holder of a Doctorate in phytopathology and numerous
patents in the environmental field. In From the Cotton Patch to
Ph.D. we encounter a warm and readable story of a man's life
defined by scientific inquiry and his relationship to Jesus
Christ." - Bob Libby, Author and Episcopal Priest "Wendell Arnold's
story of his Christian walk in life's journey is inspiring,
heart-warming and a window into mid-century American life. Dr.
Arnold's disarming and self-deprecating account of his experiences
in family, youth, marriage, professional life and retirement paint
a personal portrait of how to be aware of Christ's constant
presence in our daily lives. Sit back and enjoy your travels with
Wendell, knowing that you will find strength in his example." -
Ruth D. Foss, Diocesan President, Daughters of the King. The title
From the Cotton Patch to Ph.D. is by its very nature
autobiographical. Wendell Arnold tells about being from a family of
nine kids whose parents are share croppers. The experience in the
cotton patch to dealing with corporate political challenges,
environmental issues and legal avenues blended with raising a
family paints the picture of a managed life. He shares his profound
experience with God in his life as the adventures take more twists
and turns than a rattlesnake chasing his prey. Dr. Arnold is a
scientist with a BS and MS in Agronomy and a Ph.D. in Plant
Sciences. He holds over ten patents on compound efficacy to control
plant pathogens and is the author or co-author of over 35
scientific papers that have been published in refereed journals.
Dr. Arnold skillfully tells his intriguing story of growing up
picking cotton and becoming a world renowned scientist with faith
in God. His story is a must read for those who think that religion,
science and environmental improvement don't mix.
