Tento autor sa ponára do histórie, najmä do americkej občianskej vojny a jej ozvien, skúmajúc témy rodiny, dedičstva a vplyvu minulosti na prítomnosť. Jeho písanie, ovplyvnené skúsenosťami z vojenskej služby ako lovec hurikánov a prácou v divadle a televízii, spája dôkladný výskum s pútavým rozprávaním. Prostredníctvom fakticky podloženej fikcie aj literatúry faktu sa autor snaží odhaliť menej známe príbehy a postavy, pričom jeho dielo odráža hlboký záujem o ľudské zážitky tvárou v tvár histórii a prírodným silám.

The book critiques the contemporary shift among Christians away from viewing the Bible as the infallible and ultimate authority in matters of faith. It explores the transition from traditional beliefs to a more modern, post-modern perspective, suggesting that older views are now considered outdated or even harmful.
