1st Edition of Still A King: Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Failure, and Identity

This book paperback only.

What happens when the life you built falls apart—and all that’s left is you?

In Still a King, Bernard King delivers a powerful and soul-baring memoir that traces his journey through the devastation of divorce, the sting of failure, and the dismantling of an identity he once held sacred. Written through the lens of a Black man confronting the silent pressures of masculinity, cultural expectations, and emotional trauma, this book is more than a story—it’s a reclamation.

Through raw storytelling, spiritual insight, and deeply personal reflections, King challenges the myths we carry about strength, manhood, and healing. From the moment he looked in the mirror and questioned his worth, to the day he redefined what it truly means to be a king, Bernard opens up about the war within—and the peace he found on the other side.

This book is for anyone who has ever:

• Faced heartbreak that shook their foundation
• Struggled with identity after failure
• Wondered if they were still worthy of love, purpose, or a second chance
• Needed permission to let go, break down, and rise again

Whether you're in the midst of your own fire or rising from the ashes, Still a King offers you something deeper than motivation—it offers truth, transformation, and the reminder that your crown was never lost—it was just buried beneath the pain.

Because real kings aren’t made in comfort. They’re forged in the fire.

This special edition serves as a profound summary and spiritual bridge into the upcoming second edition of Still a King, offering readers a deeper glimpse into the healing journey, expanded reflections, and the sacred daily practices that helped reclaim the crown.

What you’re reading now is more than a preface—it’s the foundation for what’s next. This is the moment before the elevation. The quiet before the roar. The truth before the triumph.
