Packer be your steak and let Jen Wilkin's None Like Him be your baked potato! It may be good to pair this one alongside another book focusing on God's attributes. The first being from Proverbs 31, the last being from Psalm 139. She chooses two stereotypical verses and puts a spin on them. One thing that I really loved was the introduction and conclusion. Or if her writing style was so contagiously enthusiastic that she kept me turning pages because I wanted to learn more. I don't know if the book is really that short. This book may just get you EXCITED about God: humbled and ready to give thanks to our amazing God. But it does remind you in each and every chapter-if not on each and every page-WHY the GOOD news is such great news. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it makes a book about God's attributes me-centered instead of God-centered. The book is about God-about who He is and what He has done-but it is also about how KNOWING God, knowing about God, transforms your life-what you do, what you say, how you think, etc. It first covers an attribute, and, then challenges you to rethink-or to think-about HOW that attribute being true of God is GOOD, life-changing news for you right here, right now. But instead of being your traditionally routine book about God's attributes, it gets a bit of a spin. I loved that it was so accessible and practical. None Like Him is a wonderful read that is easy to recommend.
