Donald Cross edition by Joseph Todd Emerson Literature Fiction eBooks

The culture wars have descended and have disturbed the comfortable and privileged residents of Pernoit County, Virginia. Caught in the midst of this conflict is Donald Ross, the eldest son of Dr. Eric Ross, the Senior Minister at Grace Progressive Church. Donnie has two things on his mind as he enters the summer between his Junior and Senior years at Logan High School, finding a job and improving his baseball swing. He never intends on becoming an avid volunteer to defeat his state’s anti-gay marriage referendum. Yet, after being entrusted with a secret from his favorite teacher and receiving a personal revelation from God, Donnie ventures upon his quest to heed the call of the Prophet Isaiah to “seek justice.”
Along the campaign trail, Donnie is constantly asked to step out of his comfort zone by Cameron Hamilton, the Justice Coalition’s senior political strategist. During that summer, Donnie reframes the campaign’s message for his generation and conquers his fear of public speaking. As a senior, Donnie consistently faces down, Lloyd Chambers, his principal and an institutional proponent of reaction and homophobia. Donnie’s active engagement with the marriage equality campaign challenges his childhood friendships and the vestiges of his own personal power. Meanwhile, Donnie begins to forge new relationships with Alden and Aliceanna Dodge and Daniel Shelby, the youngest son of the state’s most ultra-conservative minister, while new priorities begin to emerge.
When Donnie is assaulted by his best friend, Jake Kneath, in the restroom during Logan High School’s Homecoming dance, he struggles emotionally. Yet, a new and profoundly stronger resiliency is resurrected giving him the courage to face the daunting challenges to passionately take up his cross and follow Christ and to support his friend’s decision to come out of the closet in order to live a more authentic life.
Donald Cross edition by Joseph Todd Emerson Literature Fiction eBooks
“Donald’s Cross” does an exceptional job of establishing a theme of perspective, politics, and religion through an after-school special feel. The conflicts and engagements between characters feel very thought out and complex and seem to happen at very fast pace. Where it’s strongest quality lies it’s weakness as well .The characters get very little detail for personality/background and the depth that feels necessary. There were points where I wanted perspective of antagonists just as much as I wanted the protagonists because both could’ve explored deeper themes and perspectives from their stances. The book feels like it was edited for “time and content” for tv and that the “director’s cut” held a lot more character development. Donnie’s different, (an enlightening kind of different) from what you might be used to, and his intentions and determination gives the reader hope. You want to know more with every different interaction he has with the supporting cast of characters. The passages used in the Bible and how they were challenged and discussed were interesting and the references to political and legal cases were also worth looking up, (this book does it’s fair share of sending you to google for those not familiar :-)Overall I see this book has massive potential for its themes and characters, give it a shot.

Donald Cross edition by Joseph Todd Emerson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Good story. It will make an impact on the heart of anyone who thinks they know what being a Christian is all about, and hopefully they will understand what the love of God really means.
Great story that keeps you reading on and on.
It is hard to put into words my feelings after reading this book. I laughed, I cried and I thought very deeply. The courage and selflessness runs deep. I recommend this book very highly and will make sure my children read it and hope they too walk away with something.
Donald's Cross is one of those stories that stays with you. It forces you to contemplate your own determination, your own drive to stand up for what's right. It brings the ugly side of a debate that people usually only support in principle, but not with their actions, right to your face and demands you confront your own positions and your own convictions. It is definitely a book you're going to want to read closely and probably more than once.
Donald's Cross is a very good telling of how gays are struggle with making the decision to come out of the closet. Even their friends who speak out for them are ostracized. Good book. I would recommend it.
Decided to take a break from grinding Russian politics and picked up some light reading. Engaging story without the frippery of authors trying too hard (I'm looking at you, Margaret George). Relatable characters in a subject matter that resonates with Christian liberals in the Bible South.
I'd recommend this, particularly for a youth group shelf.
If you are someone who appreciates "challenged books", then Donald's Cross by Joseph Todd Emerson is worth a read. Donald, at first glance, could be the poster boy for All-American high school student. He's on the baseball team, parties a little, likes girls, hangs out in a coffee shop and has a best friend who is a stoner. Oh and he's a PK (Preacher's Kid) whose father's church is embroiled in the middle of a debate about marriage equality. Don't jump to conclusions at this point.
When Donnie overhears a conversation between two teachers, he realizes that he can't sit on the sidelines of the debate. He begins volunteering at the Justice Coalition where he discovers that one person can make a difference. Through a journey that includes loss of friends and physical brutality Donnie comes to understand how important it is to "seek justice" as an action of his Christian faith.,
This is a coming of age novel that celebrates the idealism of youth and how one person can make a difference. The use of biblical passages and theology is an important part of Donnie's discovery of what are his personal beliefs and ethics.
“Donald’s Cross” does an exceptional job of establishing a theme of perspective, politics, and religion through an after-school special feel. The conflicts and engagements between characters feel very thought out and complex and seem to happen at very fast pace. Where it’s strongest quality lies it’s weakness as well .The characters get very little detail for personality/background and the depth that feels necessary. There were points where I wanted perspective of antagonists just as much as I wanted the protagonists because both could’ve explored deeper themes and perspectives from their stances. The book feels like it was edited for “time and content” for tv and that the “director’s cut” held a lot more character development. Donnie’s different, (an enlightening kind of different) from what you might be used to, and his intentions and determination gives the reader hope. You want to know more with every different interaction he has with the supporting cast of characters. The passages used in the Bible and how they were challenged and discussed were interesting and the references to political and legal cases were also worth looking up, (this book does it’s fair share of sending you to google for those not familiar -)
Overall I see this book has massive potential for its themes and characters, give it a shot.
