In the spirit of experiment we agreed to a "trade" - he would read (thoughtfully and with an open mind) a book of my choosing on reasons to doubt faith, and I'd do the same with a book he chose on Christianity.

Can that really be worth it? It seems disproportionally too costly for small expected gain.

I don't see where you're getting a huge cost.

Reading a book.

Exchanging books with a random theist - probably not worth it. In context of a specific social relationship, might be worth it.
