None Like Him: 10 Ways God Is Different From Us (And Why That's a Good Thing)

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.
