Description
The Bible’s teaching on God’s love, holiness, and sovereignty is often met with questions about human responsibility, suffering, and evil. If God is in control of everything, can we make free choices? If God is good and all–powerful, how can we account for natural disasters and moral atrocities? Answers to these questions are often filled with technical jargon and personal assumptions that don’t take into account the full scope of biblical truth.
In None Other: Discovering the God of the Bible, Dr. John MacArthur shows that the best way to discover the one true God is not through philosophical discourse but a careful study of Scripture—the primary place where God has chosen to reveal Himself.

“Dr. John MacArthur has been faithfully explaining and proclaiming God’s Word for years. With this book, None Other, he expounds the character of God with clarity, passion, warmth, and urgency. In a time of theological confusion, Dr. MacArthur upholds Scripture and speaks clearly to the church and to the world about who our Lord is. I am grateful to Dr. MacArthur for his service, and I commend this book whole-heartedly. It is a gift to the people of God.”

“For over four decades, John MacArthur has faithfully exposited God’s Word and has taught a generation of Christians to value sound doctrine and fidelity to the Word of God. At the heart of that teaching and preaching ministry has been a robust commitment to the Bible’s teaching on the character of God. This brief biblical and theological exploration of God’s attributes is rich both in theology and devotion. This book is a welcome resource for any Christian who seeks to know and to love our triune, sovereign God as He has revealed himself in Scripture.”
—R. Albert Mohler Jr.

“Rich fare indeed, and most welcome from one of today’s most beloved and trusted expositors, addressing our greatest need— knowing God. With the skill of a master theologian and the heart of a tender shepherd, Dr. John MacArthur provides the richest of material that will edify, nourish, and grow all who read it. A book to read and re-read, and to give to others with assured confidence that this will do them much good.”
—Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas
Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church

“In this work, the reader is loving, patiently, and unapologetically confronted with the God of the Bible. Dr. MacArthur makes no attempt to reconcile the testimony of God’s Word with the contrary opinions of fallen man. He simply points us to the Scriptures and expounds them without additions or subtractions. In a day of confusion, the reader will find in these pages a trustworthy treatise regarding some of the most important, yet misunderstood, aspects of God’s nature. Do not be misled by the brevity of this work. It is chock-full of theological truth set forth with clarity and simplicity. For the new believer, it is a valuable introduction to the God of Scripture. For the seasoned pastor, it is a reminder to hold fast to the biblical view of God and to proclaim Him to the people.”

John MacArthur has written an easy to understand book that portrays God as he is described in the scriptures. MacArthur shows how our saving God is gracious, sovereign, good, holy, and loving. You will be enlightened and fulfilled through MacArthur's wisdom and decades of teaching the Bible.
This book is focused on moving from knowing about God to actually knowing God on a deeper, more personal level. MacArthur teaches important aspects of the sovereignty of God drawn directly from the scripture.
I recommend this book to all Christians, especially new Christians who are beginning to study the doctrines of the Bible. I received this as a free ARC from Reformation Trust Publishing, Ligionier Ministries, on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

It is quite short, but in its brevity "None Other" contained the type of clear and concise writing that I wish all Christian books could accomplish. This doesn't mean that he didn't tackle explanations for complicated theological matters (because he did and came on very strong), but that the book managed to be informative without being dry. Ultimately my fondness for it and sustained interest in finishing it came from MacArthur's emphasis on Scripture to answer questions about the nature and character of God—not only commentaries, confessions, or extra-biblical dogmatic opinions he'd formulated on his own, which I come across at times with Christian works. The intensity with which he writes about the ways Scripture has shown us a God of lovingkindness, justice, holiness, sovereignty, mercy, wrath—agree or disagree with MacArthur's stance—keeps the pages turning and points to the God of the Bible for all He has said that He is, or at least some aspects that our human minds can begin to grasp.
