Raging Love

Raging Love … from “feel bad” to “feel good” … revealing and uplifting … from winning is everything to losing self in order to give to others.  A “Phoenix” of a story that shows us that in order to “stay close to the ball” you really have to pass it to others because none of us can win in life without an assist from others.  Jim gives us that assist in his bare all journey … thank you, Jim!!!

Resilient, determined, a force.

Jimmie took everything that was handed to him, all the hardship, the ache, the disappointment, the pain, and he turned it around to better himself and those around him. Jimmie’s story could have gone all different ways, but he took the road that lead him to love, to happiness, and to contentment. Anyone with any kind of pain needs to read Jimmie’s story. He is an inspiration!!

(Jimmie’s story and your writing brought tears to my eyes!!!! Fantastic book!!)

Throughout his childhood, Jimmie faced abuse, racial discrimination, and physical limitations. In spite of it all, he showed the mettle to not only overcome, but succeed as a professional athlete and in life. Raging Love will move you.

My friendship started with Jimmie during the time he was my trainer in Brooklyn. His friendship and encouragement on so many levels has guided me up a healthier and happier path!

Aloha My Friend. Mel And I wish you all the luck in the world on this new book. It’s a great read, accomplishments that are unreal. The fact that you endured the things you did? Wow. Mel And I have known you and Lori for 3-4 years know. You have been an inspiration to both of us through out the time that we have known you. Reading this just validates the man that you truly are. Mahalo for all you do.

Love ya man.

Truthful, honest to the bone!  A great read that brought back some great and some bad situations in my own youth growing up with a dominate mean military father.  Highlights the emotional, physical struggles of a black professional athlete during a difficult time of US history.  Shows how someone can make themselves the person that they want to be.  Again, a Great Read!

We all experience difficult events in life.  We have a choice of whether those events trap and ensnare us, or not.  “Raging Love” is the story of one man who used his experiences to make himself better. He used rage to make himself a champion, but eventually, with hard work, he let go of bitterness and anger.  He opened his heart and chose forgiveness and love.  Jimmie’s inspiring story helps the readers choose the better way.  

Jimmie has endured so much and always comes out on top.  Jimmie and Lori are one of those couples that dreams are made of! Together they give off this energy of love. It’s like a ginormous hug like the first moment I remember with Jimmy! Whenever you are around them- you just feel so much love. I would have never thought that Jimmie had endured so many hardships because he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve. Our past may always creep into our present day self but it doesn’t define us! Jimmie is a perfect example of that! This book is a must read even if you don’t know the King’s. It makes you want to be the absolute best version of yourself!

I have never had more thoughtful physical and personal advice than that I received from Jim King. He has taken his own intense struggle to become truly himself and turned it into a gentle desire to help everyone be their physical and emotional best. He and his wife Lori bring love to all they do.

I’ve known Lori since high school and have never had the opportunity to meet her husband, Jimmie; at least until reading this book.

My favorite quote from Raging Love: “People aren’t defined by the storm they face; they’re defined by how they react to the storm.”

We all face storms in life; some of those preparing us for our futures, as many of them did for Jimmie in a variety of ways. Great book for anyone –  not just the sports enthusiast – looking for purpose and trying to find their way in a crazy world.
