None like Him : 10 ways God is different from us (and why that's a good thing)

None like Him 10 ways God is different from us (and why that's a good thing)

Jen Wilkin, 1969-

Book - 2016

God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, and incomprehensible. We're not. And that's a good thing. Our limitations are by design. We were never meant to be God. But at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone. Calling us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God's limitless power, Jen Wilkin invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we rest in letting God be God. - Amazon.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In her newest study resource, Wilkin (Women of the Word) details 10 characteristics that separate the Christian God from humans, describing God as infinite, incomprehensible, self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, and sovereign. Opening with a statement that may surprise Christian readers, Wilkin explains that she's shocked to have written a book that features Proverbs 31 as its foundational verses and explains how this proverb says much about the nature of God. She offers numerous personal stories and deftly weaves everyday occurrences into her whimsically arranged study of God's attributes. Wilkin guides readers through the theological study of these 10 elements of God's character, closing each chapter with select verses for meditation, questions for reflection, and a brief prayer. As she compares human flaws and weaknesses with God's steady and unchangeable characteristics, readers of faith will be reinvigorated by the assurance of God's unvarying, all-encompassing nature.
