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.
This book packed quite a punch! I was positive that it was going to be just like other books I have read, but was I ever wrong. It just gave me so many AHA moments I was sad when the book ended. I used it as my daily devotional and I honestly learned so much about the characteristics of God I was in awe and plan to reread soon. My only disappointment was the fact that my copy was an e-book and I couldn't write in the margins and highlight! I can't recommend this book enough! I will be picking up another Jen Wilkin title in the near future.
