About None Like Him: 10 Ways God Is Different from Us (and Why That's a Good Thing)Human beings were created to reflect the image of God—but only to a limited extent.

At the root of all sin is our rebellious desire to be like God in such ways—a desire that first manifested itself in the garden of Eden. In None Like Him, Jen Wilkin leads us on a journey to discover ten ways God is different from us—and why that’s a good thing.
