Why I stand / Jonathan Isaac. by Isaac, Jonathan, 1997- DW Books, 2022. Call #: 796.323092 I73w Subjects Isaac, Jonathan, 1997-   Basketball players, Black -- United States -- Biography.   Basketball players -- United States -- Biography.   Black lives matter movement.   Vocation -- Christianity.   Christian biography. ISBN:  9781956007060 (hc) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  208 p. : portrait ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographic references (page 205-206). Summary:  "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. This is the story behind the stand."--Publisher. Genre:  Memoirs. Other authors:  Gregory, A.
