Jason Wilson, bestselling author and director of the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy, teaches men how to break free from societal shackles and master the ten characteristics of the comprehensive man that will equip them to overcome life's many challenges.
For many years Jason Wilson struggled with trying to conform to the world's mandate for men, only displaying stereotypical masculine attributes such as brute strength, unchecked boldness, and aggression. But it wasn't until he discovered a pivotal truth--the moment you allow others to define you is the moment you lose your identity and power--that he was able to escape emotional incarceration and become a comprehensive man: a man not defined by others, a man who can become whatever the moment demands.
In a world where the essence of manhood is often obscured by facades and societal expectations, Jason Wilson now uncovers a new path. In The Man the Moment Demands, Jason challenges and dismantles preconceived notions of masculinity, unveiling a deeper understanding of what it means not just to be a man, but to be authentically human. He helps men
- understand the root cause of their trauma, fear, and unresolved anger using the Tree of Trauma assessment;
- discover the ten characteristics that lead to comprehensive manhood;
- confidently answer the question 'Who are you?'; and
- learn how to find strength in vulnerability and embrace change.
After reading The Man the Moment Demands, men will feel empowered live fully from the good in their hearts instead of the fear of how they will be perceived.

Countering a culture that coerces men to suppress instead of express, Jason Wilson calls us to unlearn society's definition of masculinity and discover the power of engaging with and mastering their emotions.
For decades Jason Wilson was losing the war within-the internal battle that many men wage daily but were never taught how to win. As a result, he could not combat his toxic thoughts and emotions. Instead, he was conquered by them and communicated without composure-hurting those he loved and himself. This went on until he renewed his mind by releasing years of past trauma. His life and relationships were transformed when he learned how to master his emotions and express them with self-control. In the process, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader.
In Battle Cry, Jason equips you with the mental and spiritual weapons needed to wage and win your inner war by showing you how to
- master your emotions rather than be ruled by them;
- win internal battles before they become external wars;
- reject the world's definition of masculinity and embrace comprehensive manhood;
- communicate more effectively with the people in your life; and
- release trauma from your past so you can live fully to your potential in the present.
You can live beyond the limitations of your mind and finally experience the life you've always longed for. You can break through what you've been through. It's time to win the war within!
The seeds of irreverent humour that inspired the likes of Wayne and Shuster and Monty Python were sown in the trenches of the First World War, and The Dumbells-concert parties made up of fighting soldiers-were central to this process. Soldiers of Song tells their story.
Lucky soldiers who could sing a song, perform a skit, or pass as a "lady," were taken from the line and put onstage for the benefit of their soldier-audiences. The intent was to bolster morale and thereby help soldiers survive the war.
The Dumbells' popularity was not limited to troop shows along the trenches. The group also managed a run in London's West End and became the first ever Canadian production to score a hit on Broadway. Touring Canada for some twelve years after the war, the Dumbells became a household name and made more than twenty-five audio recordings. If nationhood was won on the crest of Vimy Ridge, it was the Dumbells who provided the country with its earliest soundtrack. Pioneers of sketch comedy, the Dumbells are as important to the history of Canadian theatre as they are to the cultural history of early-twentieth-century Canada.
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."

There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world-from altesse to zierfandler-but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss. Stemming from his own growing obsession, Wilson moves far beyond the "noble grapes," hunting down obscure and underappreciated wines from Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, France, Italy, the United States, and beyond. In the process, he looks at why these wines fell out of favor (or never gained it in the first place), what it means to be obscure, and how geopolitics, economics, and fashion have changed what we drink. A combination of travel memoir and epicurean adventure, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine.
