Christopher M JonesCHRISTOPHER M. JONES, Ph.D. is one of the few people who can talk as fluently about Biblical theology and Christian principles as he can about quantum mechanical states and differential equations. He is among an even smaller set of people who can do hat while recalling stories of fishing, playing sports, organizing in urban and rural communities, being a military spouse and doing his girl dad thing. He brings all of this to bear in Quantum Pearls. A native of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Dr. Jones was the first African American nominee for Governor by a major party in Arkansas. His love for science took him to Morehouse College, where he earned physics and math degrees, to NASA where he interned under an astronaut and worked on a plasma rocket ship, and to MIT where he earned two master's degrees-nuclear engineering and technology and policy-and a Ph.D. in Urban planning. The son of two preachers, his love for Christ drove him to teach Sunday School at a young age, to lead the College ministry at Morehouse, to jump start the church's young professional's ministry while at MIT, and to become an ordained minister. His love for community and people opened the door for him to teach high school math, serve as an Assistant Dean for Graduate Education at MIT, run a community-based organization in Boston (The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative), lead a maker space in Arkansas (The Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub) and eventually run for Governor of Arkansas. The experiences and tools that Dr. Jones has learned along the way have helped him daily excavate his own life and find valuable quantum pearls that he shares in this devotional. More than anything, Dr. Jones loves his wife of 20 years, Dr. Jerrilyn Jones, who is an emergency medicine physician and veteran of the United States Air Force. Together, they have three beautiful daughters, Jordyn, Janelle, and Jasmine. Read More Read Less
