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.
“I have had the privilege of personally knowing Jen Wilkin for
several years. She is a woman intoxicated by the God of the Bible
and has written None Like Him by staring at his majesty.
The soul is healed not by gazing at its broken pieces, but by
gazing at the beauty of its creator and surrendering to the ‘I
can’ts, but he cans.’ I pray you melt into the relief of belonging
to the One who is unlike any other as you read this book.”
—Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village
Church, Dallas, Texas; President, Acts 29 Church Planting Network;
author, The Mingling of Souls and The Explicit
Gospel
“In an upside-down world that has humanized God and deified man,
Jen Wilkin brings us the best news imaginable: our God is
infinitely greater, more powerful, more majestic, and more
wonderful than we can possibly fathom. Jen calls us to lift our
eyes upward, to earnestly contemplate his attributes, and to humbly
acknowledge our own limits. As we do, our hearts will be filled
with wonder and awe that such a God should stoop to save and love
us.”
—Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author; Founder,
Revive Our Hearts and True Woman
“My wife and I love Jen Wilkin. She represents a rising
generation of evangelical women discontent with the status quo, yet
fiercely committed to the Scriptures. Her teaching is provocative
without approaching compromise, revolutionary without seeking
novelty. This book is rock solid, and it portends an encouraging
future for evangelicalism.”
—J. D. Greear, President, Southern Baptist
Convention; author, Not God Enough; Pastor, The Summit
Church, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
“Far beyond a Sunday school lesson listing the attributes of
God, None Like Him evokes a sense of both familiarity and
wonder around the characteristics of the Almighty we worship. This
book puts us in our place, beneath the God of all and over
all.”
—Kate Shellnutt, Associate Editor,
Christianity Today;
Editor, Her.meneutics
“This book made me want Jen Wilkin as my best friend. But far
more than that, it made me grateful that Jen Wilkin’s God is my
God. Books that are this theologically rich while also being this
funny, this personal, and this penetrating are rare. So don’t miss
this one.”
—Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher; author, Even
Better than Eden
"As [Wilkin] 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."
—Publishers Weekly
“What happens when women learn about the attributes of God? They
rightfully praise him for who he is! Jen Wilkin has written a
helpful book introducing the attributes that belong to God alone,
while revealing our own tendencies to try to produce counterfeits
in others or ourselves. A better understanding of who God is builds
our faith and helps to guard against damaging theology. Jen presses
the reader to see how God’s incommunicable attributes affect our
own spirituality.”
—Aimee Byrd, author, Theological Fitness
and No Little Women
“Many of us attribute to God the characteristics of our fallen
earthly fathers. In this study, Jen walks us through a better
foundation for knowing and relating to our Father in
heaven—Scripture itself. None Like Him is a helpful
resource that reminds us that ‘the knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.’”
—Wendy Horger Alsup, teacher; blogger;
author, Is the Bible Good for
Women? and Practical Theology for Women
“This wonderful book is big on truth and big on God, which means
it is very good for my soul. Jen’s exploration of God’s attributes
and her reminder of all the ways I’m not God and don’t have to be
God ministered to me as a wife, as a mother, and as a Christian. If
true wisdom starts with the knowledge of God and the knowledge of
ourselves, then here is a book full of wisdom.”
—Trisha DeYoung, happy wife to Kevin DeYoung,
author of Just Do Something and Crazy Busy;
stay-at-home adventurous mother of six
“Many of us believe that greater peace and self-awareness come
from exploring our own psyche or learning what makes us tick. But
Jen Wilkin believes that greater self-knowledge comes from knowing
and reverencing the One who is knowledge himself. In None Like
Him, she invites us to learn how God’s nature transcends our
own and why the difference between us is good news. In fact, it’s
the very best news.”
—Hannah Anderson, author, All That’s Good:
Recovering the Lost Art of Discernment
“In my ministry to college students, I am rarely asked questions
about morality or theology. They ask for wisdom. Young people yearn
to know how the world works and how to work well within it. Jen
sets us on the right path by inviting us all to the essential
starting point: awestruck wonder at our Maker. We must see how the
eternal connects with the mundane if our lives are going to be
filled with a sense of meaning. This is a resource that I would
love to see in the hands of all of our students.”
