What Christians Do: Living Like Jesus in a Divided World

Releasing October 6, 2026

What if the biggest challenge facing Christianity today isn’t what we believe—but how we live?

What Christians Do calls Christians back to the heart of discipleship—not merely believing the right things, but following Jesus and becoming more like him in everyday life. Through six practical, scripturally grounded practices, the book offers a hopeful path toward a faith marked by love, compassion, humility, courage, justice, mercy, and grace.

Beginning the Journey: An Introduction to Following Jesus and Growing in Grace

Beginning the Journey is a short, practical guide for those who are beginning—or beginning again—the journey of following Jesus. Written from a Wesleyan perspective in clear, accessible language, it explores the meaning of grace, faith, salvation, and the way of Jesus while making room for honest questions and uncertainty. It then helps readers move from belief to practice with concrete next steps in prayer, Scripture, worship, Christian community, and continued spiritual growth.

Available directly from Mark Reynolds for churches, membership classes, and individual use.

The Way of Holiness: A Wesleyan Journey Through Lent

Coming Lent 2027

I’m honored to be one of six pastors contributing to The Way of Holiness, a new Lenten study from Abingdon Press. This book invites readers to use Lent as a season of spiritual course correction, asking whether our lives are truly centered on Jesus and offering practical ways to grow in love of God, neighbor, and self. It also offers a compelling description of holiness in the Wesleyan tradition.

I had the privilege of writing Chapter 6, which reflects on one of the most overlooked parts of the Greatest Commandment: learning to love ourselves as God loves us. Too often, Christians are taught self-denial without also embracing the truth that we are beloved children of God, worthy of compassion, grace, and care.

Whether you’re seeking spiritual renewal, deeper discipleship, or a richer understanding of holiness, The Way of Holiness offers thoughtful reflections and practical guidance to accompany you throughout the season of Lent. Look for The Way of Holiness in winter 2027, and join us on a journey of grace, transformation, and holy love.

Writing is one way God renews my spirit.

For most of my life, I’ve been preaching, teaching, and helping people wrestle with questions of faith, doubt, forgiveness, relationships, and spiritual growth. Writing allows me to continue those conversations beyond Sunday morning and reach people I may never meet in person.

Some of my deepest reflections come while sitting on my porch with a cup of coffee, walking on the beach, or waiting for the next wave on my surfboard. Writing helps me slow down, listen for God’s voice, and explore the questions that matter most. It is both a spiritual discipline and a ministry.

My hope is that these books and resources will encourage people who are seeking a deeper faith, grappling with difficult questions, recovering from painful religious experiences, or simply trying to follow Jesus more faithfully in everyday life.

If something you read here encourages, challenges, or helps you take another step on your spiritual journey, this ministry is accomplishing its purpose.
