None Else: 31 Meditations on God’s Character and Attributes
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.

“The first question we ask when reading Scripture should not be, What can the Bible do for me? The better question is, What does the Bible teach me about God? Knowing God is the key to spiritual progress, and Joel Beeke and Brian Cosby have written a masterful book designed to help us grow. Whether for personal devotion or group Bible study, None Else will prove an outstanding introduction to the character of God. For some, this book will be revolutionary—releasing them from the cycle of self-centered obsession to God-glorifying worship.”
— Derek W. H. Thomas, Robert Strong Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Atlanta, and senior minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina
“God is. He is not the figment of imagination nor is He defined into existence by religious dogma. What we know of God is what He has revealed about Himself. Since God is infinite and incomprehensible, He cannot be defined, but He can be described in terms of His self-revelation. In a month’s worth of daily meditations, Beeke and Cosby focus our attention on one and then another of God’s wondrous perfections. Whereas the world’s notion of meditation is to empty the mind, biblical meditation requires that we fill the mind with things above (Col. 3:2). To reverently and prayerfully reflect on these warm and theologically sound expositions will fill the mind with the heavenly thoughts that will increase the knowledge, love, and fear of the one true and living God.”
— Michael P. V. Barrett, vice president for academic affairs and professor of Old Testament at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
