Raging Love
is about athlete Jimmie D. King's rise to fame as an angry, chronically injured powerlifting champion to a happy, healthy cyclist and bodybuilder. The reader will witness a man who learns to be at ease with himself through mentoring and coaching others to become a better version of themselves.
gives us a glimpse at the life and athletic career of Powerlifting National Champion Jimmie D. King. With stunning candor, King shares his intimate and deeply personal perspective-including his challenges and struggles with bullies, physical limitations, childhood abuse, disappointments, oppression, and racism-and how he evolved and adapted over seven decades to stay as close to the ball as possible while learning to serve and develop the talents of others. Far more than a sports memoir, Raging Love is a gripping tale of perseverance and purpose and a reminder that finding one's path is, above all, an evolution from psychological discipline and mental toughness to forgiveness, spiritual peace, self-knowledge, and self-love.
King shares with the reader how he
* stood out among the elite, proving that athletic ability and training don't translate to success, it's the mental game and focus that matters most;
* learned to focus his anger toward winning at every level-from elementary and high school to college at West Point, to becoming a National Champion Powerlifter at 38-showing us that rage can be used to win in sports;
* dominated opponents mentally and channeled his anger in a positive direction in his performance and competitions;
* came to know that athletic success does not automatically bring peace, happiness, and fulfillment; in fact, his success coupled with his anger often masked his inner struggle to reconcile his childhood anger, disappointment, and feelings of unworthiness; and
* learned that forgiveness, investing in his own health and personal development, returning to a childhood passion, and turning his focus to mentoring others allowed him to evolve, find love and quality relationships, and live a more balanced life on purpose.
will serve as a must-read source of inspiration for kids and sports fans of all ages. Even non-sports fans will cheer for King as he wrestles his rage, learns to forgive, and turns his focus to love and service of others
