Review & Giveaway: None Like Him


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.
About the Author:
Jen Wilkin is a speaker, writer, and teacher of women's Bible studies. During her fifteen years of teaching, she has organized and led studies for women in home, church, and parachurch contexts. Jen and her family are members of the Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas. She is the author of Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds.

Life is too short and too precious to spend fearing the wrong things in the wrong ways. I propose we learn holy fear for a God like no other. Only then will our fear of man be put to flight, our self-adulation be laid to rest, and our hearts be turned toward worship. I want us to become God-fearing women in the truest sense of the word, to take our stand in gladness at the foot of Mount Zion, offering true worship to our Father in heaven. And in so doing, we'll make a beginning at becoming wise. pg 14

This book has been such an eye-opener for me! Jen writes about just 10 of the ways God is different from us, giving each attribute it's own chapter and sharing Scriptures and personal stories about His limitlessness and our own limitations. Infinite, Incomprehensible, Self-Existent, Self-Sufficient, Eternal, Immutable, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent and Sovereign.
Our God has NO LIMITS!!! He is a God of infinite mystery, creativity, provision, days, sameness, place, knowledge, power and rule. Infinite....no limits! How often do we put God in a box simply so that we can try to understand Him completely?! Let's take Him out of that box and embrace our own limited humanity. He created us this way, we are shaped in His image, just with limitations. Exactly the way He wanted us.

I think this would make a great small group study, with meditation verses and questions at the end of each chapter. I plan to do this with my family. A chapter a week, the younger ones may not understand it all but it will still be good for them to hear!
