About This Study Guide
None Like Him by Jen Wilkin is a study of ten attributes that belong to God alone — qualities that set him infinitely apart from his creatures. Drawing on the incommunicable attributes of God (those he does not share with us), Wilkin argues that the root of all human sin is the desire to be like God in ways we were never meant to be. From the garden of Eden onward, we have grasped for limitlessness, omniscience, self-sufficiency, and sovereignty — and the result has been exhaustion, anxiety, pride, and broken relationships. The good news, Wilkin shows, is that our limits are not a curse to escape but a grace to embrace. When we stop striving to be God, we are finally free to be fully human.
This guide is designed for individuals or small groups who want to move slowly and thoughtfully through each chapter. Each week, read the assigned chapter before your group meets (or before you sit down to journal on your own). Come ready to engage the discussion questions honestly — some will ask what the author said, some will ask where you see a pattern in your own life, and some will invite you to think about how a particular attribute of God connects to the gospel and to your freedom in Christ. You may want to keep a journal to capture personal reflections you aren't ready to share with a group yet.
By the end of this study, you can expect to know God more accurately, to feel genuine relief about your own limitations, and to worship more freely. Wilkin's goal — and the goal of this guide — is not merely to inform your theology but to quiet the restless striving that comes from living as though you, not God, must be infinite. That is a deeply practical gift, and it is waiting for you in these pages.

Week 1: Introduction — Becoming What We Behold
Free sampleRead the Introduction of None Like Him by Jen Wilkin.
1.Wilkin opens with the idea that we are transformed into what we behold and worship. In your own words, what does she mean by that, and why does it matter which version of God (or which false god) we are beholding?
2.She draws a distinction between God's communicable attributes (those he shares with us, like love and mercy) and his incommunicable attributes (those he alone possesses, like omniscience and eternality). Why is it important to keep that distinction clear? What happens in our thinking — and our living — when we blur it?
3.Wilkin locates the origin of humanity's grasping at God's incommunicable attributes in the garden of Eden. How does the serpent's promise in Genesis 3 — 'you will be like God' — connect to the specific attributes she plans to examine in this book?
4.Before reading further, take an honest inventory: which of the ten attributes listed in the table of contents (infinite, incomprehensible, self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign) do you most find yourself grasping for? Why do you think that is?
5.Wilkin suggests that knowing what God is not like is just as important for our spiritual formation as knowing what he is like. Do you agree? Has your own spiritual formation ever focused on the incommunicable attributes, or has it mostly stayed with the communicable ones (love, grace, patience)?
6.The introduction sets up the book's central promise: learning to rejoice in our limits rather than chafe against them. What would it practically look like for you to experience your finitude as a gift rather than a frustration this week?
7.How does the person and work of Jesus — the infinite God who took on finite human flesh — already begin to answer the tension the introduction raises? What does the Incarnation say about the value of being a limited creature?
Week 2: Chapter 1 — Infinite
Read Chapter 1 of None Like Him. Key passage: Psalm 145:3; Isaiah 40:12–31.
1.Wilkin defines God's infinity as the absence of any limit or boundary on his being and perfections. How is this different from simply saying God is 'very big' or 'really powerful'? Why does the distinction matter theologically?
Week 3: Chapter 2 — Incomprehensible
Read Chapter 2 of None Like Him. Key passages: Job 38–39; Romans 11:33–36.
1.Wilkin distinguishes between God being knowable and God being comprehensible. What is the difference, and why is it important not to collapse these two ideas into one?
Week 4: Chapter 3 — Self-Existent
Read Chapter 3 of None Like Him. Key passages: Exodus 3:13–14; Acts 17:24–25.
1.Wilkin explains that God's self-existence (or aseity) means he has no cause, no source, and no need — he is the uncaused cause of everything else. How does God's revelation of his name to Moses — 'I AM WHO I AM' — capture this idea? What does that name say about everything else that exists?
Week 5: Chapter 4 — Self-Sufficient
Read Chapter 4 of None Like Him. Key passages: Psalm 50:9–12; John 5:26.
1.Wilkin distinguishes between God's self-existence (he has no cause) and his self-sufficiency (he has no need). How would you explain that distinction to someone in your own words? Why does the difference matter?
Week 6: Chapter 5 — Eternal
Read Chapter 5 of None Like Him. Key passages: Psalm 90; 2 Peter 3:8.
1.Wilkin explains that God's eternality means not just that he has existed for a very long time but that he exists outside of time altogether — he is not subject to sequence, past, or future. How does this differ from a merely 'very old' God, and why does the distinction matter?
Week 7: Chapter 6 — Immutable
Read Chapter 6 of None Like Him. Key passages: Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; James 1:17.
1.Wilkin defines God's immutability as the teaching that God does not change in his being, his character, or his will. How does this connect to the other attributes already discussed — his self-existence, self-sufficiency, and eternality? Do they require each other?
Week 8: Chapter 7 — Omnipresent
Read Chapter 7 of None Like Him. Key passages: Psalm 139:7–12; Jeremiah 23:23–24.
1.Wilkin explains that omnipresence doesn't mean God is spread thinly across the universe, but that he is fully present in every place simultaneously. Why is that distinction important? How does it change what it means to say 'God is with me'?
Week 9: Chapter 8 — Omniscient
Read Chapter 8 of None Like Him. Key passages: Psalm 139:1–6; Romans 11:33–34; Hebrews 4:13.
1.Wilkin defines omniscience as God's complete and perfect knowledge of all things — past, present, and future, actual and possible — without learning, forgetting, or being surprised. What aspect of this definition most stretches your imagination? What are its implications for prayer?
Week 10: Chapter 9 — Omnipotent
Read Chapter 9 of None Like Him. Key passages: Job 42:2; Jeremiah 32:17; Matthew 19:26.
1.Wilkin clarifies that God's omnipotence doesn't mean he can do literally anything (for example, he cannot lie or deny himself), but that he can do anything consistent with his perfect character. Why is this clarification important? What would an omnipotent-but-unprincipled God look like, and why would that be terrifying rather than comforting?
Week 11: Chapter 10 — Sovereign
Read Chapter 10 of None Like Him. Key passages: Daniel 4:34–35; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28.
1.Wilkin presents sovereignty as the culminating attribute — in some ways, the one that all the others serve to support. Why does it make sense to end with sovereignty? How do the nine preceding attributes (infinity, incomprehensibility, self-existence, self-sufficiency, eternity, immutability, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence) each underwrite or require God's sovereignty?
Week 12: Conclusion — Beholding and Becoming
Read the Conclusion of None Like Him.
1.Wilkin argues throughout the book that beholding God as he truly is — not as we wish him to be or fear him to be — is the primary means of spiritual transformation. As you look back across all ten attributes, which one most disrupted your previous image of God? Why?
Week 13: Review & Reflection
Review your notes, journal entries, and any underlined passages from the full book.
1.Of the ten incommunicable attributes Wilkin examines — infinite, incomprehensible, self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, and sovereign — which one had the most significant impact on you, either intellectually or personally? What made that chapter land so powerfully?
