"None Like Him" Book Review and Giveaway

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. In this case, it's very true. What a dreadful cover. It's worse in real life. Drab colors, hard to read title; I fear no one will pick this book up because no one will even notice it on the store shelf. Sadness.

But if you can get past the cover and read the back of the book, you will likely be interested. (Provided you're interested in learning about the Great I Am.) "None Like Him" goes through 10 attributes of God that we can not obtain (such as self-existence, infinite, sovereign) and shows not only do we not appreciate these attributes in God, we seem to think we possess them. The author, Jen Wilkin, also discusses what believing that lie does to us and how to combat it.

"None Like Him" is the perfect example of what happens when a great thinker doesn't have a great editor. Ms. Wilkins has so many incredible nuggets of truth and insight but the book isn't that well written. There are  paragraphs that more resemble lists and unnecessarily explanations. I found myself going -- skim, skim, WOW!, skim, skim, WOW!  I still highly recommend this book because of the multitude of WOW! moments. And maybe I'm being too hard on the her. Now that I think about it, her writing style is quite reminiscent of Max Lucado. (whose writing I also file under "skim, skim, WOW!") If you love Mr. Lucado's writing, you'll love this book too.

In the past week, I've talked to no less than 6 people about the ideas presented in "None Like Him" and it has upped my appreciation for the One I call Lord and Savior. It has also made me pause and reevaluate a few things in my life for which I am thankful. Jen Wilkin is gifted in turning your mind to the Eternal, Incomprehensible, Omnipresent God of the Universe.

If only it didn't have that dreadful cover.

If you can look past the cover and see the worth of this book and if you'd like your name entered into a draw for a free copy, please leave a comment below. The draw will be held May 10th, 2016. Good Luck.
