"I love how Jen Wilkin helped us see which 10 characteristics we are like God. It made me purchase her other book, "None Like Him" to see which 10 characteristics that we cannot be like God (which ways we rival Him). Both books were a very welcome addition to my daily quiet time."

In His Image 10 Ways God Calls Us to Reflect His Character Jen Wilkin 9781433549878 Books Reviews
- This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. The goal of the book is to know God and allow him to make us more like Him. Wilkin gently but firmly guides the reader to know more about Gods character and challenges us to desire to reflect that character. Very practical. The application side of the book is fabulous. Wilkin has such a great way of saying it like it is but in a loving way. EVERYTHING is backed by scripture. This is not fluff. It is deep and meaty. I read it slowly so I could chew on every nugget of wisdom. My understanding of who God is has increased tremendously after reading this book. My bible reading has also gotten better with this increased understanding of who God is. Great book.
I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley and he publisher in exchange for my honest review. It was so good I bought a copy! - Jen Wilkin has DONE IT AGAIN. This book and its partner were instrumental in getting me through a divorce from a dangerous and toxic relationship. They helped reorient me to the ways I was playing God and the ways I CAN be growing in Christlikeness and then the ways that I am to submit in worship to the Lord for HIS amazing qualities that aren't supposed to be mine. So great. Spoken right to the heart of today's woman (person!) - grace-filled, biblical and honest - wonderful just like Jen's teaching! Honestly, I think that if more books were required like this at seminary, we may start turning out more empathetic men who want to love well and teach practically to the hearts of God's people - instead of blanketing a bunch of seminary speak - *dismounting from my high horse*.
- “Every word of God is true and good, but not only that, none of them ever grow stale. The practice of asking God for a “fresh word,†a new truth personalized for us, has grown more and more popular. I don’t think any of us would argue that we have adored and adhered to the ancient words thoroughly enough that a request for new ones could be credible. Faced with uncertainty or difficulty, or just spiritual malaise, my perception is that it would feel better if the words were meant strictly for me and my circumstance. But it is not new truths we need; we need old truths recently forgotten. It is not personal truths we need, but rather shared truth preserved and passed down from one believing generation to the next, personalized to us in our current day. That shared truth is available within the pages of God’s Word to me and to all who believe.â€
Super thankful for this follow up book, and it stands alone as well, and for the right theology that it calls us to believe about God and ourselves. - I am half-way through this book. Had not read the other one before, but that is not affecting my reading.
The only thing that I feels it lacks is the applications for reflecting God’s characters. It just talks about “being good, being holy†and it doesn’t go into what this looks like. The Love chapter was meatier talking about agape love. Very happy overall, and will read more books by her! - I love how Jen Wilkin helped us see which 10 characteristics we are like God. It made me purchase her other book, "None Like Him" to see which 10 characteristics that we cannot be like God (which ways we rival Him). Both books were a very welcome addition to my daily quiet time.
- This book is amazing! As a new christian I love this book because it's so well written, and easy to understand and fallow along with, anyone can read this and understand it. I also love that it's not just a light read though, it challenges you to think about the bible and study along with it. It's also great for those who have been christian for a long time, my mom has been a christian for years and she really enjoyed this book as well. I've been reading a lot of christian books and I have to say this would be the first one I would recommend to anyone. Also it's not just written for women, if a guy can get past the girly cover he'll be able to get just as much out of this book as anyone else.
- Wish I could give a synopsis of this book to do it justice. I can't and no one in my 8 member bible study could. You're left astounded by God in the best way. Called to be better, motivated to move. I like a study that can be done in a night if I'm having a rough week and could take all week if I have the time to delve in and this was just that.
Spot on book for my second of her reads. - This is an excellent book for those who have struggled to figure out God's will. It's approachable. Biblically sound. And thoughtful with great questions to help the reader go deeper at the end of the chapters. I've already recommended it to several people who have also been challenged by it -- in a good way!
