As a leader in teaching, training, and transforming boys in Detroit, Jason Wilson shares his own story of discovering what it means to &;be a man&; in this life-changing memoir.

His grandfather&;s 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 Wilson&;s childhood. But it was his decision to acknowledge his emotions and yield to God&;s call on his life that made Wilson the man and leader he is today.

As the founder of one of the country&;s 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 culture&;s definition of &;masculinity&; and gives readers hope that healing is possible.

As Wilson writes, &;My 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 &;father wounds.&; I long to see men free themselves from emotional incarceration&;to see their minds renewed, souls weaned, and relationships restored.&;
