There is an overwhelming stirring in the black community to stand with and support Israel. Generations of African American Christians have had a biblical allegiance to the Jewish people but without a clear understanding of why this is so important or a practical plan for how to help Israel. African Americans can identify with the pain and plight of a people dislocated, disenfranchised, and disheartened. Yet it is the Jewish community that has supported the African American community during some of its most challenging times. In fact, did you know that a disproportionate number of non-blacks who marched during the civil rights movement of the 1960s were Jewish? We Too Stand seeks to enlighten and educate African American churches and communities across the country about the importance of supporting Israel. This book will serve as a comprehensive study for any African American church setting regardless of denomination. We Too Stand will be important to African American churches and the Jewish community at large, as it will seek to build bridges of commonality and cultural appreciation.

Facing public criticism, peer hostility, and widespread disapproval, would you compromise your principles to blend in with the crowd, or would you stand for what you believe? On July 31, 2020, the Orlando Magic starting forward Jonathan Isaac was the lone NBA player not to kneel for the national anthem amid a league-wide demonstration in support of Black Lives Matter. Standing alone, knowing the scrutiny to come, Jonathan had a peace he at one time never could have imagined possible. In Why I Stand, Jonathan shares the journey of how—through a series of divine connections and a willingness to follow Christ—his fear and insecurity-driven life was transformed into one of confidence and purpose. From his childhood in the Bronx to his high school years in Florida, from rail-skinny freshman at FSU to top draft pick in the NBA, Jonathan uses his life story to illuminate the freedom and peace found in the love of Jesus Christ. More than the story of an NBA player’s transformation from man on the court to man of God, Why I Stand is a testament to His love, power, and grace that extends to us all. This book is a discovery that no matter your level of confidence today, God’s strength will develop in your weakness. That courage is found in trusting that God is greater than your fears. As Jonathan takes you through the experiences that drove his decisions, he offers insight and inspiration to help you to grow to a point where standing alone is better than not standing at all.
