Stars Though the Clouds: The Collected Poetry of Donald T. Williams
Stars Through the Clouds is a revival of the lost art of traditional poetry--glimpses of beauty, goodness, and even truth, couched in what today will seem the radical innovations of meter and rhyme! Williams is a true renaissance man, covering a diversity of topics from life in Appalachia to C. S. Lewis and Tolkien to theology and literature to solemn meditations to medieval ballads to limericks. A wide variety of readers are sure to find joy (in the sense that Lewis used it) peeking through even the bitter-sweet moments...like stars through the clouds.
Stars Through the Clouds
Williams has returned poetry to the writing of poetry. Here you will find new life breathed into the old forms that graced English verse for centuries. Owen Barfield insisted that poetry must cause the reader to undergo a "felt change of consciousness." That's a tall order, but Don Williams achieves it. Someone said reading C.S. Lewis "caused one to grow in sanity." I find very few other authors of whom that may be said: Tolkien, Le'Engle, Frost -not many more. But it can be said of the poetry of Donald Williams.
The Devil's Dictionary of the Christian Faith
A morphing of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary with The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, this book takes a satirical look at the contemporary church scene. It intends to help the church look at itself from a new, satirical perspective and see how the world views the traditions of the church, both old and new. The Christian reader should see a need for change of perspective, programs, and identity and find reason to act on the need for change. Each dictionary entry will make the reader laugh as well as think. This tongue-in-cheek look at Christian church programs, theology, ministry, personnel, and activities will prompt church leaders and members to laugh at themselves and their hidebound ways, while humoring scholars to laugh at the irrelevance of so much scholarly activity.
Mere Humanity
Williams delves into the writings of G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, and J. R. R. Tolkien for answers about the purpose of man and his life on earth.

Inklings of Reality
In Inklings of Reality, poet and theologian Donald T. Williams revisits some of the most interesting and constructive moments in the history of Christian reflection on life's great issues and helps us develop a rich and dynamic Christian philosophy of reading.
Deeper Magic
"Explore the theology behind Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, and the other works of C.S. Lewis! The imagination of C.S. Lewis inspired people all over the world. We remember him today as a literary giant and a preeminent apologist for the Christian faith. But what about the theological framework that drove his writing? Deeper Magic reveals the foundation of Lewis' thought--the theological underpinnings that gave his prose so much power. If you have been moved by the writing of Lewis, this book will help you understand why"--www.squarehalobooks.com
Gaining a Face
Contrary to the popular perception that C.S. Lewis was merely a religious writer, there is a good case to be made for Lewis being one of the major British writers of the twentieth century if we look at him as a prime member of a resurgent Romantic movement after the Second World War. Much has been written on Lewis’s thoughts on joy, a central aspect of his Romanticism. However, Lewis was at the same time a rationalist, and managed to merge his Rationalism with his Romanticism in a unique and original manner. And his Romanticism likewise was complex and owed much to both George MacDonald and, through the medium of MacDonald’s thought, to the Romanticism of William Wordsworth. This study traces the aspects of Lewis’s romantic thought as it is drawn from MacDonald, Wordsworth and other influences, and traces how, beyond his fascination with joy, Lewis constructed a consistent romantic vision that allowed for a balance with reason and stood in contradiction to the literary movements of his time.
Credo
Credo provides a unique basis for personal daily meditations, while opening the way for the church to explain the basic significance of the creed it so often recites. Williams takes the classic Nicene Creed of the church and examines the meaning and modern application of each of its words and phrases. He shows the historical setting of the creedal statement, historical disputes that gave rise to the precise wording of the creed, and current situations that call for affirmation of the creed amid a multitude of ecclesiastical differences. Williams even provides a way to sing the creed.
White Working Class
"I recommend a book by Professor Williams, it is really worth a read, it's called White Working Class." -- Vice President Joe Biden on Pod Save America An Amazon Best Business and Leadership book of 2017 Around the world, populist movements are gaining traction among the white working class. Meanwhile, members of the professional elite—journalists, managers, and establishment politicians--are on the outside looking in, left to argue over the reasons. In White Working Class, Joan C. Williams, described as having "something approaching rock star status" by the New York Times, explains why so much of the elite's analysis of the white working class is misguided, rooted in class cluelessness.
