We are called to be like Christ and this book offers an examination of 10 traits we can emulate.Įach chapter is easy to read and chock full of theology. It is to walk in his image, for his glory and by his power. It re-images us.” Bottom line: we don’t need to wonder what God’s will is for our lives, what his calling for us is. Wilkin starts by stating, “For the believer wanting to know God’s will for her life, the first question to pose is not ‘What should I do?’ but ‘Who should I be?’” She goes on to say that “God does not hide his will from his children” and “the gospel begins transforming us into who we should have been. In His Image, on the other hand, discusses God’s traits that we are called and equipped to reflect, if we are in him: holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise. The first book ( which I reviewed here) discusses God’s immutable characteristics-the things about him that we will never be: self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, and incomprehensible. This book is a sequel to Wilkin’s None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us (And Why That’s a Good Thing).
In His Image: 10 Ways God Calls Us to Reflect His Character, by Jen Wilkin I’ve recently read three and want to recommend them to you. You know I love to see theologically rich resources written by and for women.
