Mark Karengin is a Christian author who writes with honesty, humility, and a deep desire to strip away the complications that have accumulated around the faith over the centuries. He doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but he knows this much: God is love, kindness is the truest demonstration of that love, and we are not meant to earn our way into God’s favor—we are already loved.

In Not the Same Old Christianity, Mark invites readers to think for themselves, to return to the simplicity of the Gospel, and to stop confusing religion with relationship. He writes from personal experience—struggles with prayer, pride, and self-acceptance included—because he believes authenticity matters more than polish. Mark lives with his wife, Janelle, who supported him through this project.
