The book is written in an engaging, personal and relatable manner. It was a book full of ‘ouch!’ moments for me, as she probed into how we seek to rival God, rather than reflect His glory. But the genius of this book is how she flips each attribute to demonstrate how in our sinfulness we seek to take them for ourselves. Perhaps you are a bit put off by a book about God’s attributes, feeling that you are covering familiar ground. She expounds on each of these attributes, increasing our awe of God by dwelling on his character.

These include his being infinite, incomprehensible, self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and sovereign. But Wilkin identifies 10 attributes that belong to God alone.

Many of God’s attributes we are called to possess in increasing measure, such as His goodness, mercy, love and faithfulness. There was some initial confusion with the title as some people heard it as ‘ Nun like Him’, but thankfully the book is not a calling back to the convents! Instead Wilkin seeks to take us through a list of ten attributes that belong to God alone, and tease out how it is we try to rival God in possessing these attributes that belong to Him alone. I read Jen Wilkin’s latest book, None Like Him, with our women’s book discussion group at Moore College.
