Keith Ward's latest - Why There Almost Certainly Is a God: Doubting Dawkins www.amazon.co.uk/Why-There-Almost-Certainly-God/dp/0745953301/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books is (as often with Ward) both to the point and funny.
He avoids the peripherical stuff and aims for the heart by dealing strictly with TGD chapter 2, 4 and 3, in that order.
A good one, twice as long as McGrath and much more on arguments for God. Though not as detailed as e.g. Craig, he presents his case admiringly well in the "new" argument from design (and he is no ID'er), the argument for simplicity vs. complexity (we can't possible use probability analysis related to the "complexity" of a non physical being as we have no background information to derive probality from in that realm), God as no scientific object etc. etc.
The cover alone is worth the purchase.
