His first book was The Legend of Bagger Vance, which was later turned into a movie and directed by Robert Redford and starred Will Smith, Charlize Theron, and Matt Damon. His second book was Gates of Fire, which is about the Spartans at the battle of Thermopylae, and this book is on our list of the 100 Books Every Modern Christian Man Should Read list.
