Book Review: None Like Him 10 Ways God Is Different From Us, and why that is a good thing!5/10/2016 Welcome to another product review at Createyou86. This is another great book which explains how God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, and incomprehensible. This book by Jill Wilkins is a one hundred, and sixty three page softcover book where Jill gives her personal revelation regarding all of the above. She hopes to bring back God-Fearing in all of us, but not in a bad or oppressive way of the past, rather in a liberating, and reflective way. Jill explains how God being different than us is a good thing, and that our limitations weather mentally, physically, or any other way are by design because we were never meant to be God. On the other hand Jill goes on to explain that at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone. Jill calls us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God's limitless powers, and invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we finally understand that it is best to let God be God. Throughout this book is scripture on almost every page. At the end of each chapter are questions for review, verses for meditation, and a simple prayer that goes along with each chapter. I really enjoyed reading this book. Being new to Christianity myself, i always like reading different peoples accounts, and learning new perspectives.

This sounds like a fantastic book! Since Satan was kicked out of heaven for wanting to be like God, it behooves us to avoid making that same mistake.

Very interesting - the God-fearing topic can be a hard one to discuss in a way that glorifies and brings people to Him.
