I do not ordinarily read many novels, but I have just finished reading a marvelous fictional account of the life of John Calvin by Christian novelist Douglas Bond entitled The Betrayal. The book can be found here. I do not want to give away all the twists and turns of this well-told tale. While this is a fictional account, it is historical fiction interweaved with a lot of historical truth. The book has the merit of bringing the story of Calvin to life. The account is told from the perspective of Calvin’s personal servant/aide. This is a page turner and was hard to put down.

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea this was around.
