The Betrayal: A Novel on John Calvin
Set amidst the backdrop of the scholarship and humanism of renaissance France, and its love of luxury, power, and decadence, this fast-paced biographical novel on John Calvin is told from the perspective of a rival whose envy eventually culminates in violent intrigue and shameless betrayal.
The Betrayal is the tale of the private war of one man who was determined to sell all for a convoluted allegiance to the King of France and the jealous Doctors of the Sorbonne, even if it cost him his own soul. Get set for royal intrigue, desperate escapes, violent martyrdom, hazard-all romance, high-risk debate, and sword-point confession in this tale, one that is a story of how God uses the humility and unflinching faithfulness of one man to break down the barrenness and bitterness of another -- all accomplished by grace alone.
"God above, if you are there, you are most unkind to me. . . . Therefore, will I not serve you, will I not worship you, will I not obey you. Henceforth, I give of myself to those powers that most work against you, against your will and ways, and against your servants."
