Old Tales and New Truths
This guidebook to the Bright-Shadow World develops three closely related issues. The first is the position that fairytales and folktales are of value today because they encourage the growth of capabilities important in our postmodern world. Each of us, like the fairytale hero, sets out on his/her own quests, seeks his/her own identity, faces his/her own dilemmas with few resources but wit, imagination, and a certain power of improvisation. King develops the implications of this situation for such common fairytale problems as learning to read the world productively; navigating various kinds of "edges;" exploiting power sources; developing highly personal moral commitments; problem solving; an...
Remaking the World
In Remaking the World, James Roy King weaves together strands of thought creating a tapestry that mirrors John Dewey's pragmatism of sufficiencies.

Life-Giving Leadership
If you examine almost any effective leader, you'll find that that they are lifelong learners. Most of their learning comes from two sources: deep reflection on their leadership experiences and intentional exposure to other leaders. They read what leaders write and they receive mentoring and coaching from leaders they respect and trust. This is a book for a mentoring leader to share with developing rising leaders. It is designed with thought provoking and action oriented exercises to launch stimulating conversations. You will walk away with expanded thinking, challenged motivations, and an enhanced ability to lead others in a life-giving way. Christians worship a life-giving God. Doesn't it make sense that the leadership he intends for every Jesus follower to experience would also be life-giving? Find one or two other leaders, fire up the tea or coffee pot and let's get going!
