What People Are Saying About James Donaldson and his "Standing Above the Crowd" book (Charles Hall, One of James Donaldson's favorite relatives)
“I remember visits to James’ home when he was a very young, chubby boy who was extremely reserved and polite. As he grew rapidly, no one envisioned that one day he would play basketball in the NBA, but it was apparent that character-wise, he would grow as a Christian and one who would always be concerned about the quality of life for all members of our democratic society. This book reflects the character of the man who has captured the hearts of thousands as he pursues worthy goals on behalf of fellow citizens. He indeed “Stands Above the Crowd” in more ways than one.”

What People Are Saying About James Donaldson and his "Standing Above the Crowd" book (John "J.J." Johnson, Former NBA Player & Teammate)
“‘Jimmy’ (as I’ve always called him) has always been one to “Stand Above the Crowd.” I remember as if it were yesterday that he would arrive early at the Seattle SuperSonic practices and go through his drills that I taught him until he perfected them. Not many young players are willing to put in the time and effort that Jimmy did. That’s one of the reasons that he had a twenty-year professional basketball career! His Desire, Dedication, and Discipline approach is something everyone can benefit from. It’s been a real treat to watch his growth and progress through the years.”

“Donaldson’s thoughts expressed in Standing Above the Crowd are ideas that are above the crowds but below the clouds. James turns his readers onto some very positive concepts, which they can use not only personally, but also when dealing with others. Being a licensed behavioral health professional, I will suggest Standing Above the Crowd as reading material to several of my clients, especially those who are struggling with self-image issues or those who are having a hard time developing some life goals. My hope is that after reading Standing Above the Crowd, these patients might be motivated to use their unused talents and stand above the crowd.”

What People Are Saying About James Donaldson and his "Standing Above the Crowd" book (Katie Artt, High School Student)
“Thank you for coming to my school today! When I heard we were having an assembly I was sort of disappointed....They tend to be boring. But when you were done speaking, I was yet again disappointed; but not because of the speech you gave, but because I didn’t want for you to be done. What you were saying out there was really inspirational. I really did take something away from this assembly….I’d really like to hear more of what you’ve got to say, which brings me to ask about your book. I’d really like to read it myself.”
