Clear Winter Nights by Trevin Wax is a fictional story of a young man named Chris, who begins to question his Christian faith largely due to the influence of one of his college professors. As the story begins, Chris is engaged to be married to a nice Christian gal and is working with a group to start a new church. All of this comes to a halt as Chris grapples with what he really believes. Over the New Year holiday, Chris spends a few days with his grandfather, Gil, who is a retired Baptist minister. Gil and Chris have some great debates over current issues such as homosexuality, Chris' father's infidelity, and the like.This was an interesting read. At first I was not overly engaged in the book but as the story progressed, I found that I was really learning something from each conversation Chris and Gil had. It is a great tool for learning how to lovingly respond to questions about hot/heated topics.
I would recommend this book to anyone. It is a great witness tool as well as a wonderful teaching tool for followers of Jesus sharing their faith with others.
