Bezalel: Redeeming a Renegade Creation, Paperback

Among the many characters in the Biblical story, Bezalel is unique. His uniqueness is not only in the job he was called to do (creating the first portable worship center for God on earth), but also in his experience with God, his unique calling by God, and the characteristics attributed to him. Along with this, he is the forefather of some of the most important people in the Bible. Bezalel has been hidden, and he has been hidden because he was an artist. Why has Bezalel been overlooked? Why are so many artists overlooked? Maybe you have been hidden, overlooked, or passed over. Maybe you have had an amazing call by God to change the world. If that resonates with you, then read on; you may have a lot in common with Bezalel.

About the Author:

In 2006 Christ "rhymes with wrist" John Otto was called by God to begin writing, leading worship, and hanging out in a local coffee shop. His adventure, and the people who joined him, eventually took the name Belonging House. Today after lots of coffee, five books, and thousands of emails, Belonging House has become an international "house" for creative culture shapers. Christ Otto holds degrees from Houghton College and Asbury Theological Seminary. Since 1986 he has worked in a variety of media as a freelance artist including decoupage, faux finishing, mural work, sign painting, commercial and retail design, and catering and pastry. He is a classically trained tenor and vocal coach. Through it all he has learned to be a son, and bring others into a relationship with God.
