Bezalel: Redeeming a Renegade Creation - Paperback

by Nancy Mari (Editor), Christ John Otto (Author)

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.
