Publisher Description
Human beings were created to reflect the image of God—but only to a limited extent. Although we share important attributes with God (love, mercy, compassion, etc.), there are other qualities that only God possesses, such as unlimited power, knowledge, and authority. At the root of all sin is our rebellious desire to be like God in such ways—a desire that first manifested itself in the garden of Eden. In None Like Him, Jen Wilkin leads us on a journey to discover ten ways God is different from us—and why that's a good thing. In the process, she highlights the joy of seeing our limited selves in relation to a limitless God, and how such a realization frees us from striving to be more than we were created to be.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
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.
