Each chapter ends with reflection questions and a call to prayer. It's a call to love His law, His ten words, and let them transform us more into His likeness. It all starts with the worship of God alone and builds beautifully in a practical call to love God with our whole hearts, souls, minds, and strengths - and then to love those made in His image as we love ourselves. She offers the hope of a future where "things we have exalted will be cast down to the level of their real worth" - and an exhortation to cast them down now, giving "undivided allegiance to the God of our costly deliverance." She calls us to worship with single-minded allegiance, being conformed in thought, word, and deed into the image of our God, not the image of the enemy. Jen considers each word carefully, bringing out new depths from old commands, calling us to changed hearts, not just moralistic deism. She brings the text alive with context and home with thoughtful questions. She opens up the ten commandments, making them accessible in a whole new way, and calling each reader (listener) closer in to the heart of God. Her delight in God is evident in her work and this work is no exception. She has a gift for communication in both written and spoken word. Jen makes the reader yearn to learn more about God in a way that few books can. The book didn’t reveal any new revelations to me, but it did help me understand God better. Jen Wilkin is one of my favorite teachers. None Like Him Moved Me Emotionally It’s been a while since I read a book that brought me to tears, but Jen Wilkin’s None Like Him had that effect on me.
