None Else: 31 Meditations on God's Character and Attributes

31 Meditations

by Joel R. Beeke, Brian H. Cosby, Tom Parks (Narrator)

This book delivers a month's worth of meditations on God's character and attributes so that you will grow in both knowledge of and love for the Rock of your salvation by the Spirit s grace. While there are many devotionals in the marketplace offering guidance into the treasures of God's Word, None Else specifically reflects on God's manifold perfections as a means through which He by His Spirit-graciously transforms our minds, changes our hearts, and molds us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Wonderful theological precision (as much as we can try to be precise, right?) on attributes of God and how to apply to your real life. I’m not a huge devotional fan, but this one was truly challenging, comforting, and beneficial to my soul. Will be returning to over and over.

This is an excellent month-long devotional on the character and attributes of God from Joel Beeke and Brian Cosby. Joel Beeke never disappoints and the folks at Reformation Heritage Books always produce good material. It reminds me of the Puritan Stephen Charnock's "Existence and Attributes of God".

This is a 31 day devotional which covers a different attribute of God: 'God is Holy", "God is Creator", "God is Sovereign", etc. Each day has a scripture meditation, followed by a prayer, a short essay on a biblical perspective which expounds on the attribute for the day, reflection questions, and a section on "Digging Deeper" which explores the attribute in much more depth. This is NOT a quick devotional as found in "Our Daily Bread" or Charles Stanley's "In Touch".

I found that each day took me no less than 20-30 minutes, which lead me to rearranging my devotional schedule. This has been incredibly rewarding; and as I persevered each day, I found myself looking forward to the time spent in the Word. It takes a bit of discipline and self-control to stick to this because of the length, but since we are called to always be in the Word as a means of grace, this is time well-spent.

This book has been so helpful in going through a revolution and violence that flooded my country. Settling in knowing God's character has been refreshing. I am thankful for this kind of devotional. I strongly believe that learning who God is helps us to be sanctified.

It took me awhile to make my way through this book though it was supposed to be a one-month devotional. I am simply not a fast reader, particularly when the subject matter is so deep and meaningful. Lots of highlighting and note-taking in this one!

I liked the devotional aspect of it, while not going light on the theology.

[Jonathan Fontenot · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best modern devotionals that I have read.

[Micah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wonderful encouraging devotional. Although I would have preferred it to not be in the King James and to not have listened to it on audio to make looking up the verses easier.

[Josiah Richardson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good and helpful daily reminders of Who God has revealed Himself to be and what our response ought to be in light of that information.

[Charles Sager · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great basic but worthy daily reader.

[Isaac · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful. Shines for its simplicity and devotional accessibility. Every believer should read this one. Especially helpful for those who struggle to read.

[ValeReads Kyriosity · Rating 3 out of 5]

Listened to this over the course of a few weeks for prayer prompts. Let's just say I still haven't found a book on God's attributes that seems to enjoy Him as more than an intellectual exercise. 🤷‍♀️

[Zacarias Rivera, Jr. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful small volume. Each of the 31 meditations covers a key BIble verse or passage, a prayer, analysis of an attribute of God, questions to ponder, and suggested further reading. I loved looking forward to reading the next day's meditation. The authors are very knowledgeable of the scriptures and theology.

This is my first finish of the year and what a great start of books read in 2024! Filling my mind with the attributes of God ; being reminded of who God is and not what or who I think He is in my human mind . I taught the attributes of God for 19 yrs to 1st graders and I have missed intentionally meditating on God everyday. Dr.. Beeke and Mr Cosby have done an outstanding job of relaying Biblical truth with a masterful use of language -" we do not " discover" God , He reveals Himself to us." "We do not "give" God glory, we acknowledge His glory. It may be viewed as semantics but theological vocabulary is important. Have we become sloppy in our words about God? Charles Spurgeon said," The attributes of God are the anchors to hold the soul from drifting in seasons of peril." This little 31 day devotional was just what this weary soul needed to end 2023 and begin 2024. I am determined to keep something concerning God's attributes in my stack this year .
