As a leader in teaching, training, and transforming boys in Detroit, Jason Wilson shares his own story of discovering what it means to âbe a manâ in this life-changing memoir.
His grandfatherâs lynching in the deep South, the murders of his two older brothers, and his verbally harsh and absent father all worked together to form Jason Wilsonâs childhood. But it was his decision to acknowledge his emotions and yield to Godâs call on his life that made Wilson the man and leader he is today.
As the founder of one of the countryâs most esteemed youth organizations, Wilson has decades of experience in strengthening the physical, mental, and emotional spirit of boys and men. In Cry Like a Man, Wilson explains the dangers men face in our cultureâs definition of âmasculinityâ and gives readers hope that healing is possible.
As Wilson writes, âMy passion is to help boys and men find strength to become courageously transparent about their own brokenness as I shed light on the symptoms and causes of childhood trauma and âfather wounds.â I long to see men free themselves from emotional incarcerationâto see their minds renewed, souls weaned, and relationships restored.â
