Synopsis
GOD ACTUALLY is a highly original and eclectic book about Christianity, covering a wide range of subjects. Williams doesn't preach to the converted or attempt to browbeat sceptics. Instead, he persuades using rational argument drawn from non-religious sources: physics, chemistry and biology; politics, history and sociology; music, novels, poetry and film. In part the book is a counter to the recent bestsellers by atheists like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, and shows that belief in Christianity can and should be based on logical deductions from known facts. It is not a matter of ignorant superstition or blind faith.

About the Author
Roy Williams won the Sydney University Medal in law in 1985, and practised as a litigator for almost 20 years at one of Australia's oldest and most eminent legal firms. He now writes full-time. A sceptic for most of his life, he came to faith in his midthirties via parenthood, prodigious reading and a life-changing illness. He lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and two daughters.
Review
"A must read for skeptics. Roy Williams brings a lawyer’s careful attention to evidence and strength of inference to life’s (and death’s) most important questions. He respectfully, but effectively, cross-examines the case against Christianity as propounded by its recent atheist advocates. Like C.S. Lewis and other authors who came to faith late in life, Roy Williams understands the issues that trouble atheists and agnostics and gives thoughtful, convincing responses. He takes on the issues that serve as roadblocks to many modern skeptics, from creation and evolution to the religious right." —Robert F. Cochran, author, Faith and Law
