Jen’s desire is similar to that of the faithful writers who have gone before her: “How should the knowledge that God is _ change the way I live?” This format is so helpful to use for a quiet time devotional in addition to one’s regular Bible reading plan. Then she directs the reader in things to consider for prayer regarding that attribute. How can this bring Him glory? How can this help one live in better relationship with others? In each chapter, the questions will lead the reader to consider both their vertical relationship with God as well as their horizontal relationship with others.
These allow the reader to personally engage with the teaching and to consider one’s own limitations in light of God’s limitlessness. At the end of each chapter, she invites the reader to meditate on several Scripture verses related to that attribute and then she gives several questions for reflection. In every chapter, Jen notes first our own limitations, drawing the contrast between ourselves and our glorious God, to highlight each attribute, one per chapter. While Jen’s choice of Proverbs 31:30 as her introductory verse and her application of Psalm 139 to women at the end of the book demonstrates an intention to speak to a female audience, the main content of the book is germane to men and women alike. Jen Wilkin is a writer, Bible teacher for women, and speaker.
She also explains why this is actually good for us. Jen Wilkin, in ten chapters, takes an easy-to-read and conversational approach to explain ten attributes of God’s character and shows how we do not possess these attributes. Our culture radically prizes the individual in the way we choose to define or redefine who we think we are. From the Resource Section: "None Like Him"
