Paul Hudson's Winter

If you are hurting, this book is for you. It's full of hope. If you are a Christian, you will find yourself cheering. Entering his second year as a high school physics teacher, 30-year-old Paul Hudson is struggling through a deep depression. Chrissy, his intended fiancee, is killed in an auto accident in which he feels responsible. Without her, his life is unbearable. His friend and school guidance counselor spent the past summer helping him return to normal activity. He recommends Paul find something to keep his mind active, aside from his time teaching students. Paul belongs to a local gym and becomes interested in a new Mini-Gym exerciser that is being introduced by the national franchise. The gym owner hires him to follow up on inquiries and sell these expensive units after school. This introduces Paul to an exciting variety of potential users and their problems. During one visit, Paul becomes acquainted with Abby, a classy female television reporter who strongly reminds him of his beloved Chrissy. By chance, he gets to know her and her family through the sale of a Mini-Gym and slowly finds a release from his depressive thoughts. Paul has never been a strong believer in God due to his father's own beliefs, and for the past five years they have been estranged. In an amazing turn of events, however, Paul has a vision and becomes a new believer overnight, hungry for more of what he has missed all his life. This is a powerful evangelical book demonstrating how God answers problems and prayers in a person's life. It proves how He loves each of us and wants us to have an abundant and fulfilled life.
