The world is full of many unanswered questions that baffle even the most learned personalities. In his book Who Told You That You Were Naked? William Combs has provided answers to some questions people ask and argue about with the creation and the future of the world. The author introduced the content of the book by narrating the event that compelled him to put his inspiration to writing. He said this was due to an encounter with darkness at an early stage in life.

Using the Bible as his main reference material, he started talking about the love of God for humankind and his son Jesus Christ whom he sent to die for the sins of mankind and the forgiveness of sins. The author sounds very religious and he has demonstrated his mastery of the Bible as he claims to have carefully read the Bible from the book Genesis to Malachi as well as the books of the New Testament. He made his introduction very appealing by inviting his readers to come with him on a mission to delve into the events through which sin and death came into the world, the consequences of sin on humankind and the remedy for sin. He also gave a brief overview of what his readers should expect in the various chapters of this book.

This journey the author has described above started with the first days of Adam’s life. He described how Adam lived in a paradise known as the Garden of Eden. He dramatically described the interactions Adam had with the Lord as well as with other creatures in the beautiful Garden. Adam had the power to assign names to all the creatures. The Lord then made a companion for Adam and he named her Eve. There was a clear description of how Adam and his wife Eve lived happily in this peaceful sanctuary.

It has been clearly explained in this book that fear came into the world as a result of the sins of humankind. The author has delved into the concept of sin and fear. He has made several references to support his points using his own personal testimonies as well as the testimonies of others. He gave the reason for Adam’s fear and stated that this was due to the sin’s he committed with his wife. The battles that exist in the flesh and the spirit were clearly explained and distinguished.

The next concept the author talked about is his faith in God. The names of some Biblical icons that demonstrated great faith in God have been mentioned. The Apostle Paul is no exception. The distinction between little faith and real faith is made. The author has clearly explained the beatitudes and he continued to flood his story with his personal testimonies. William Comb talked about the restoration of man to God by describing the Kingdom of God. He used the words of John Newton’s song “Amazing Grace how sweet the sound” to introduce this topic. He then talked about Jesus Christ and his work of redemption on the cross. He referred to Jesus Christ as the sacrificial lamb and supports his claim to the personality of Jesus by stating and explaining the seven words of the cross.

I see this book as one of the best religious books in Christianity and I must caution that Non-Christians who read this book may be converted to Christianity. The vocabularies used are simple to understand. The expressions are very clear and grammatically excellent. There is also an excellent use of literal devices in the various expressions. The author has also explained some important keywords at the bottom of each page. There are studying questions at the end of the chapters. William Comb has done a good job. I will, therefore, rate his book Who Told You That You Were Naked? 4 out of 4 stars.
