Knox comes across as a funny, clever, and likable guy. Overall, the book and the pop culture references are fun and - even for my Gen X self - relatable. At times, I think it went a little too relentlessly self-aware and jokey. Also, mild side-eye at the assumption that no one over 50 has ever heard of a podcast.

This is somewhat of a Christian-lite book. If you're looking for something to better understand faith and Christianity within our cultural context, this is not your best bet. On the plus side, it's entertaining rooted in positive purpose. It's non-threatening, accessible, and may reach people and connect with them in a way that other books wouldn't.

For pop- culture loving Christians, it's comforting to know that Knox and others are out there successfully navigating and positively influencing both worlds. That is no small thing - not everyone attempts, can, or does. It seems Knox is using his God-given gifts in exactly the way he's been designed to do.

Worth a try for readers who are Christian-curious, but still on the fence. ( )

Through a combination of memoir and analysis of pop culture, McCoy explores questions about God, his relationship with his evangelical upbringing, and how best to live in the world. Entertaining with the some good insight--especially into what it looks like to be a socially liberal evangelical Christian. While I certainly enjoyed the book and tore right through it, I find myself struggling a bit to remember much from it having finished it. ( )
