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.”

- Short version Get this book for every man you love and even the ones you feel are hard to love.
Long version I love Jason Wilson. I know his ministry is targeted towards men but he still speaks to me (a black woman). My sister mentioned to me that Wilson had a book that was soon to be released. I came on over a month ago just to read the book listing. I don't even know how it happened but I must have clicked purchase on accident because before I knew it, there was a message thanking me for my preorder. I almost cancelled the order but felt compelled to keep the order. I am a life coach and mentor for teens both male and female. I also have a younger brother and a father that I still struggle to relate to and understand. On top of all of that, I generally don't know how to relate to men at all [romantically]. I am a daddy's girl who has a father that really isn't the daddy's girl type. A lot of father's don't understand that they frame how their daughters will relate to men. You are our 1st love and often our 1st heartbreak (it goes without saying... But not in a sexual or romantic way). The way that this is handled will be with us in every relationship, even our relationship with God. I thought reading Wilson's book would feel like reading someone else's mail but his words are so engaging that I had to force myself to not finish it in one day and let what I have read so far unfold in me before moving on. This book has been such a healing and eye opening experience for me. I have learned more about my brother and dad and even myself from this book. I could relate to Wilson's quest for his father's love and approval and I became very aware through reading this book from his POV that we feel much the same, we just express our emotions differently. Maybe after thoughtfully and prayerfully reading this book, I will overcome my fear of relationships and finally have the privilege of having one. If you're wondering if you should get this book... Yes!!! You should and grab a few extra copies for someone else who may need to cry like a man.
I have the book but I'm getting hard copies for my dad and brother and a few for my male clients as well. - I have been waiting for this book to release since I saw on Eshon Burgundy's Instagram a copy of it. This was an excellent read. There were many things I could relate to as a young black man. There were also many things I couldn't relate to but that's ok. I was was the white sheep compared to my brother, the black sheep. Though raised in a Christian home and still an active believer there are things that I missed because of cultural barriers. It's important to know that Christ penetrates all cultural barriers even when we can't see it. This books depicts a picture of turmoil though I haven't experience to that extent I can resonate with as a man. I believe Mr. Wilson paints a portrait of the struggle that many men face and too prideful to admit publicly. To show vulnerability is weakness in many eyes. Thankfully, Jesus identifies with our struggles and will wear the scars of our vulnerability, shame, and defeat forever. Mr. Wilson gave us just a glimpse of that saving power and for that I say thank you.
- There is no reason that Jason Wilson should be such an incredible influence for good today, except for the grace of God, his wife, and other people who did not give up on the good inside him, sometimes buried deep. For the longest time he walked his own path - the one that looked like it would get him what he needed and to where he wanted to go. He did not have the examples he needed. He did not have the love he needed, that we all need. But life experiences and people taught him. What he does today with youth is amazing and he is a shining example. I have cried watching some of The Cave of Adullam videos. If I had to describe this book in one word, that word would be "epic." I look forward to the movie! Thank you, Jason Wilson, for stepping up, finding your true nature, and for teaching young men and boys true strength!
- I've been waiting three months for this book. I've been following Mr. Jason Wilson on social media with his work with CATTA for about a year.  As a mother of an only son, I want to have a better understanding of my husband and the men in my life. EQ (Emotional Intelligence) and the ability to verbally share feelings are important skillsets we desire in our son and our selves. I received the book today and read the entire thing. Mr. Jason shares his life story and how he overcame his struggles with God on his side through forgiveness, redemption, grace, serving others, loving hard, and being a lion and a lamb. Get some tissues out for many joyful and challenging moments shared. I will be sharing this with my husband and family. I’m going to give my boy and husband extra hugs tonight. God is good and so faithful!
- There is an internal battle within our selves and this book helps me see the errors of my upbringing and false thoughts and ideals of masculinity has caused me so much unnecessary pain. Thank you Mr. Wilson it’s time I have a deep conversation with me myself and I.
- I thank the LORD for using Jason Wilson. This book was so transparent. It captures how a life saturated with torment and conflict can be malleable in the hands of the Almighty Father. The Good News of the Messiah brings liberation to the soul. I was tearful many times in every chapter, amazed at the grace of GOD. This book has encouraged me to not only become more intimate with my Heavenly Father, but to appreciate my earthly, godly father, & honor my mother. It also helped me look at insecurities within, so that I can love my wife better and lead her heart, as well the hearts of our sons. Glory to Yahweh!!! May He continue to lead you, Jason Wilson. I'm eager for your next projects!!!!!!!!
- While this book is an excellent read for everyone, I highly recommend it to any man who has a desire to free himself from the societal definition of masculinity. This book is awesome.
