God, Actually is a unique new religious book, a rational Christian apologetic written for agnostics and atheists as well as people of faith.

Since mid-2006, Williams has written numerous book reviews for The Weekend Australian and other newspapers and magazines.

Only some of the books had a specifically religious (or anti-religious) theme, but Williams has sought to bring a Christian sensibility to all of his reviews (as well as wide-ranging knowledge of many other subjects).

Here are links to some samples of his work:
