Christian artists and creative people often believe that there calling and career is not supported by the Bible or theology. Christ John Otto, founder of Belonging House, has worked for 10 years studying the eight chapters in Exodus about Bezalel. Bezalel is one of the most overlooked figures in the Bible. Bezalel's story speaks to one of the key questions of our time: "What is my identity?" The name Bezalel means 'image of God,' and reflects not only his calling to be the artist who built the Tabernacle, but also reflects the call of all humanity to build a place for God in the earth.
This book is primarily for artists and creative people who are called to impact the culture of this world with the culture of heaven. This impact happens when we become disciples, master copies of the Icon of the Father, Jesus Christ.
Bezalel: Image of God is the Yellow Book of Poetic Theology of Artists, a series of big ideas that are essential for artists and creative people to function in their role as culture shapers.

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.
