Product Description

Endorsements
"Reading this is like sucking in lungfuls of mountain air. There is a craving for beauty, vastness and wonder that shallow books cannot satisfy. What people gasp for is God, the real God, the God of the Bible. Andrew does not domesticate Him, trivialise Him or dumb Him down. Buy and read. Then read it again." Joel Virgo
"Bite-sized chunks of great theology that will inform the mind and inspire the heart to worship." Tim Hughes
"Clearly written, full of truth, and containing a wealth of helpful illustrations, this book is accessible theology that will draw you into the worship of God." John Hosier

There is a raging debate over Andrew Wilson's 'Incomparable.' Is it pronounced 'in-com-parable' or 'in-comp-rabble?' That minor quibble aside, Andrew Wilson has taken on a sizeable task: an accessible theology book, "exploring the character of God," as the tagline goes. He does so admirably.
Focusing exclusively on God, it is very helpfully divided into four sections: The Being Of God, The Names Of God, God In Three Persons and The Attributes Of God. Each section is comprised of a number of chapters that average five pages in length. As you'd expect, Incomparable is littered with scriptures that Wilson unpacks to teach into and bring insight into the character of God. Despite the chapters being short they are full of truth and very easy to read.
I really enjoyed the books style - it is written in an engaging and accessible way and filled with illustration and example. This means it is a book that can be read as part of devotions or picked up periodically over time. Of course, it could also be read systematically or worked through slowly as a study. Its versatility mean it is actually one of those 'shelf-life' books that can stay on your bookcase for years, that you can come back to again and again. Normally such books are weighty tomes that double up as doorstops , so credit to Wilson for packing so much truth in a volume of such brevity.
Incomparable has something for everyone - whether you are familiar with theological reading or not, revelation will come as you read this book. Personally, I found combining it with my devotional life to be energising and invigorating. I also think it is a book that would be perfect for giving to new converts, or working through with young people. Also, if you are looking for an entry level book into more theological reading, it is an ideal foundation.
An excellent book, very well written and worth buying, reading and giving away!

Its like a condensed, less dry version of the classic Knowing God (J I Packer). Although, the depth may not be quite the same, the pages per chapter is also far reduced making it an excellent daily reading companion. Theologically sound and sublimely encouraging to look upwards rather than inwards. Definitely worth every penny

Incomparable by Andrew Wilson is a Christian book which looks at the character of God. I purchased it because my brother needs it for his theology training and I really enjoyed it.
This is a very readable book which looks at some of the characteristics of God. Every chapter is short, no more than 6 pages long which makes this an accessible book and easy to dip into. However, there is a lot of theology in this book and even though I was able to read this book in a few days I would like to re-read it slowly to see what I probably missed/didn't take in.
Wilson writes in a very accessible way and argues every point clearly and concisely, using evidence from both the Bible and other sources. I have learned an awful lot from this book, and there is probably more I can learn when I re-read it.
This is a really informative, enjoyable and easy-to-read book.
9/10
