About This Study Guide

At a glance: this is a 13-week study and discussion guide for None Like Him by Jen Wilkin, with 93 questions organized by reading assignment. Week 1 is free to read, with no card required.

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 — no card

Open Week 1 →

Read the Introduction of None Like Him by Jen Wilkin.

Before diving into the attributes themselves, Wilkin sets the stage by asking why it matters that God is unlike us — and what goes wrong when we forget that he is.

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?

A note from the founder: I’m Josh, and I built this because most Christian books don’t come with study materials — leaving volunteer leaders to build discussion questions from scratch on a Saturday night. That shouldn’t be the default. If anything about your guide isn’t right, reply to your order email and it comes straight to me.

13-Week Schedule

Week 2: Chapter 1 — Infinite

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 3: Chapter 2 — Incomprehensible

All 8 questions →

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?

+ 7 more questions in the full guide

Week 4: Chapter 3 — Self-Existent

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 5: Chapter 4 — Self-Sufficient

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 6: Chapter 5 — Eternal

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 7: Chapter 6 — Immutable

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 8: Chapter 7 — Omnipresent

All 7 questions →

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'?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 9: Chapter 8 — Omniscient

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 10: Chapter 9 — Omnipotent

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 11: Chapter 10 — Sovereign

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 12: Conclusion — Beholding and Becoming

All 7 questions →

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?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 13: Review & Reflection

All 8 questions →

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?

How are the discussion questions different from what I'd find online?

Free discussion questions online tend to be surface-level — "What did you think of chapter 3?" Our guides include questions designed to spark real conversation: questions that connect the book's ideas to personal experience, draw out different perspectives, and help group members open up and share honestly.
