None Like Him

10 Ways God Is Different from Us (and Why That's a Good Thing)

By: Jen Wilkin

Narrated by: Jen Wilkin

Length: 4 hrs and 2 mins

Publisher's summary

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 10 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.

Loved this book!

At first when I started it, I was bored and thinking I needed something different, something more suited to me. But as fits with the content of this book, as God came more into focus and therefore my condition in relation to Him, I realized this is just what I needed. God is the center of this book and we are challenged throughout the pages to see where we constantly struggle to decentralize Him.

Thank you Jen and Thank You Lord for Jen!

Beautiful Book!

Loved this book! So much knowledge and insight while still being approachable and easy to listen to. Will be one I recommend to friends and will listen to again!

A Pirate's Perspective....

Any additional comments?

This book was recommended by a female friend from church. At first glance, I likened her book recommendation, “None Like Him”, to that of offering up a movie night of “Bridges of Madison County” to a Pirate. Never one to forego an opportunity to learn something new, however, I channeled my fatherhood dives into makeup and dress-up night with my daughters and blocked some time to give it a listen with an open heart.

Four hours later, I sat in silence. Trying to grasp the awesomeness of what I had just taken in. Like being drawn graciously out of cold incompetence and gently guided into the warm light of awareness. I felt at peace, and yet ever smaller by comparison to our Lord. By the end, I was no longer a pirate, but a little boy with a wooden sword.

Love This Book!

This is a wonderful study of the attributes of God. It is well written and the questions are thought provoking. Jen Wilkin is easy to listen to - she is both engaging and articulate. It is a great Biblical study.

Wonderful work

This book is a wonderful explanation of a limitless God. It humbles the soul and lifts our eyes in worship to our Creator. Also wonderful to use as a women’s home study or personal study because she has reflections, verses and questions at the end of each chapter. Thankful for her work.

Incredible

None Like Him is one of the most powerful books i've ever listened to. Incredibly edifying and humbling. This has quickly become one of my favourite books.

Fantastic!

I loved this book. What an excellent women's study. Wonderfully presented by the author. I encourage all women searching to know more about God to read or listen to this book.

Challenging and Encouraging

Loved this book. Read by the author, but very pleasant to listen to. Full of truth and challenging to my sinful heart, and I learned a lot. At the same time, I was encouraged to hear how God's distinct attributes that I fruitlessly try to attain are actually cause for joy, peace, and humble obedience. It was a quick and easy read, but I'm actually going to read it again because I want to soak it all in even more. My only issue is that I would have liked to see more actual Scripture/Scripture references in the main text. I agree with all that she wrote, and appreciated the verses for meditation at the end of each chapter. However, I think her arguments could've been bolstered by a little bit more references within the text itself. Nonetheless, a wonderful read.

Focus off of me, onto whom it belongs

If you would have told me 25 years ago that I would listen to a book targeted to women about God, I probably would have punched you in the mouth. Not really, I don't really punch people in the mouth but I would have questioned your sanity. But here I am and here you are and neither of us have pain so a lot has changed in 25 years.
I came to this book while listening to another book about how Christians are supposed to act in the age of the internet. I was immediately drawn in by Jen Wilkin. I first liked her style of narration. Then I really got into the words. This book is about God, the largest, deepest, and least understood topic in the universe. Even with all that has been written, spoken, and understood about God, how to you describe the limitless? While not exhaustive, Jen does an amazing job to describe what we do know about God from his own revelation and to compare us who are no comparison to not only bring us to a Godly fear, as the start of wisdom, to to be comforted that God is God no matter what happens as he is not changed by time, space, or bribe.
You don't need to be seeking how to be a godly woman to listen to this book. While written to that audience, the subject and manner of which it is talked about makes this a must-listen book to anyone who wants to know God, know that you are not God, and why this is not only a good thing but the most important thing in our existence.

Amazing how it magnifies the Lord

In a time when I forgot God's Majesty, our sister pointed my gaze where it belongs. The spirit of the book mightily.
