ABOUT THE BOOK
Popular podcaster and author Knox McCoy offers readers a unique blend of humor, Bible stories, pop culture references, and personal stories that show how asking tough questions and approaching life with a willingness to reconsider ideas can allow them to grow in their faith.
What would it mean to really examine what you think you know about yourself and your beliefs? To not just rely on the generic platitudes you’ve always recited to yourself but to look more deeply into why you think what you think?
After exploring how pop culture shaped his life and carved out the foundations of his faith in his debut book, The Wondering Years, Knox McCoy began to think more deeply about those foundations and how they had evolved, changed entirely, or stayed the same. The result of this soul-searching led to a book about the necessity of reexamining our ideas and identities throughout our lives and how we grow as a result.
In a look back at his own life and the fundamental convictions—both secular and spiritual—he’s pondered over the years, Knox deploys his signature self-deprecation and an academic approach of understanding the absurd, whether discussing the social hierarchy of Sesame Street or the cultural allergy to participation trophies. Along with these voyages into the humorous and the mundane come deeply vulnerable revelations from Knox’s heart as he interrogates his own foundational beliefs. His stories will encourage readers to think about their own convictions and how reconsidering them leads to a deeper understanding of what they believe and why.

MY REVIEW
What an entertaining, yet thought-provoking book. In All Things Reconsidered, Knox McCoy explores the idea of reconsideration, of course. He broaches topics from participation trophies to team loyalties and prayer (and a whole lot more) with capable storytelling, hilarious insights, and a heart for authentic belief. Easy to read, his message about reconsideration, allowing for growth and change, proves to be—especially because he is not trying to force his reader to reconsider exactly as he has and believe exactly as he does. Instead, he simply shares his stories in a way that provides food for
I enjoy my time with All Things Reconsidered and definitely recommend it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Knox began podcasting in 2011 as a way to talk more about popular culture, and to his extreme surprise, he’s still doing via The Popcast with Knox and Jamie and The Bible Binge.
As a resident of the South, Knox’s heritage is to enjoy football and barbecue, and he does so with great passion. He also enjoys zombie movies, police procedurals, and a good Netflix binge.
Knox lives with his wife and three kids in Birmingham, Alabama, where he works as the swashbuckling cofounder of The Popcast Media Group.
I love when a non-fiction has some humor and wisdom, but also entertains, which is what books need to do for me. Thank you for being on this tour! Sara @ TLC Book Tours
