Raging Love
An Athlete's Journey to Self-Validation and Purpose
For much of his life, Jim believed that if he could achieve enough...
win enough...
be strong enough...
he would finally be enough.
Raging Love tells the story of an athlete's lifelong pursuit of validation and the surprising discovery that true worth is never earned through performance.

About the Book
From childhood abuse and racism to West Point, national powerlifting championships, cycling, coaching, business ownership, and personal transformation, Raging Love chronicles one man's extraordinary journey toward healing.
Written together by Jim King and Lori Ann King, this memoir explores the experiences that shaped Jim's life and the lessons that ultimately helped him exchange anger, fear, and the need to prove himself for compassion, purpose, and lasting peace.

A Note from Jim & Lori
Every book has a story. This one is beginning a new chapter.
After five wonderful years with our publisher, Jim and I have chosen to conclude our publishing agreement. As a result, the current edition will gradually go out of print as remaining inventory finds its way into readers' hands.
The good news?
We fully intend to republish Raging Love as an independent edition.
We simply don't have a timeline yet.
For now, you may still be able to find copies through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite independent bookstore while supplies last.
If you search and discover it's no longer available, I'd truly appreciate hearing from you. Knowing when readers begin looking for the book and whether they can still find it will help us understand when it's time to begin the next edition.
Thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and for continuing to believe in this story.
After all...
This story isn't over. It's simply catching its breath before the next ride.
Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and for being part of this journey. We'll be excited to share the next edition with you when the time is right.
With gratitude,
Jim and Lori
