This is a book you should check out...
The idea that Christians should somehow wall themselves off from the world is, thankfully, on the wane. This book provides a great vision for the way forward, a paradigm for truly being in the world, but not of it.
The problem, as Staub points out, is that when we really live as Christ did, we'll seem too pagan for "religious" people, and probably too Christian for the non-religious.
That's okay- the good news is that by being a true friend to non-Christian friends (not just someone who's being a friend in an effort to convert people, but also not a friend who never influences people spiritually) is what God really wants. Staub walks through the benefits and the pitfalls of this type of living and comes up with some real gems along the way.
