In Chapter Two, “Jesus the Evangelist,” the author describes Jesus as our role model. She writes, “In Jesus, then, we have our model for how to relate to the world, and it is a model of openness and identification…. We must learn then to relate transparently and genuinely to others because that is God's style of relating to us. Jesus commands us to go and then preach, not to preach and then leave. We are not to shout the gospel from a safe and respectable distance, and remain detached. We must open our lives enough to let people see that we too laugh and hurt and cry.”

She reminds us that boldness doesn't have to be offensive; that Christians and non-Christians have much in common; and that God can be “a natural, integrated part of an ongoing discussion about movies” and other topics of interest.

Although her target audience is the college student, the principles and perspectives are applicable to every Christian who wants to share the difference Jesus makes in her life but feels inadequate or uncomfortable.
