Some were serious Christians and very few were indifferent towards religion. In this timely and original book, Roy Williams examine s the spiritual life of each of our Prime Ministers from Edmund Barton to Julia Gillard. He explores the ways in which for good and ill their beliefs (or agnosticism) shaped the history and development of the nation. Featuring extensive interviews with John Howard and Kevin Rudd, and pulling no punches, IN GOD THEY TRUST? will appeal to voters across party lines and excite plenty of debate among believers and non-believers alike.

REVIEWS: "I thought that God, Actually was one of the best statements of reasoned faith that I have read. I loved it." Tim Costello "Williams has not only done a lot of hard thinking and reading, he has the literary skills to do justice to his views." Fiona Capp, The Age (Melbourne)
