unChristian:
What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity … and Why It Matters
By David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons (Baker, 2007)

“No strategy, tactics or clever marketing campaign could ever clear away the smokescreen that surrounds Christianity in today’s culture. The perceptions of outsiders will change only when Christians strive to represent the heart of God in every relationship and situation. This kind of Christian will attract instead of repel. He is provoked to engage instead of offended by a decadent culture. She lives with the tension of remaining pure without being isolated from this broken world. When outsiders begin to have fresh experiences and interactions with this new kind of Christian, perceptions will change, one person at a time.” —David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons, from the book

Make friends, in your own way, and avoid isolating yourself—be open to show and share the love of God.
