As I read Blake Western’s There’s No One Like Jesus, I found his writing style hard to define. Some write with an academic tone, some with a devotional tone, and others with an exhortational tone. I finally concluded his writing style is in a “worshipful-tone.” It is very unique! Throughout, I found myself desiring to worship and pray to Jesus.

Another aspect of the book I enjoyed was how well-researched it is. There are tons of wonderful quotes about Christ. Consider a few:

“He is as truly God as if He were not a man, and yet as completely and perfectly man as if He were not God.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“Many teach¬ers of the world have tried to explain everything—they have explained little or nothing. Jesus explained little and changed ev¬erything. Jesus changes everything He touches. Call Him a man and you will have to change your ideas of what a man is; call Him God, and you will have to change your ideas of what God is. He is the one figure in history that is not local or national. He is the universal Christ. All nations feel at home with Him when they really know Him.”
E. Stanley Jones

“You can no more add anything to Him than you can add something to the sky. He pushed every good trait of human character to its utmost limit. His forgiveness was unbounded, His generosity was untiring, His patience illimitable, His wisdom was unfathomable, His kindness was interminable, His faith removed mountains, His hope had no shadow in it, His love was infinite.”
Dr. Charles Jefferson

There’s No One Like Jesus is essentially a Christological book; however, it is not written for scholars or academics but for worshipers. In twenty chapters, Blake considers various Christological topics such as Christ’s deity, his humanity, his work in creation, his names, his rule, his intercession in heaven, and ultimately his return, among other things. If you want to see and understand Christ in all his splendor, please read There’s No One Like Him. There is something especially delightful about this book!

This simple book is simply amazing! It is not long and each chapter is divided by a different attribute of Jesus. Reading the book by itself will inspire you and lift you up but I could see this book being used in a Bible study group or as a basis for a series of Sunday sermons. This book explains in easy terms many characteristics of Jesus. As a Christian seeking to be more like Jesus, this book may hold a few ideas for you. It can be read in a day, this small book packs a powerful punch! I was ...more

I didn't learn anything new and I'm not sure that this book could convince anybody of the uniqueness of our Lord Jesus, but it is good to read or hear some things we know again and again.

Blake western examines different aspects, qualities and characteristics of Jesus, always emphasizing that He is so great, amazing and surprising that it is impossible to fully describe or even understand Him.

Not all chapters may appeal to everybody, but sure enough you will find something that really will touch ...more

I found this book to be most rewarding because it put all the attributes of Christ together in an easy to understand summary. Everything you need to know is there and it made me so grateful that I have so great a Redeemer. Thank you Mr. Western for writing this book. I give God the glory for giving you such a talent.
