The description of the introduction, as well as showing your desire for Combs to describe how the experience at Alaska, as an adult,gives someone thirst for another Combs publications. This is, if at all, he would be willing to share it with his audience.
I have enjoyed reading your review. Kudos.

Thanks so much, Paul78, for your comments. It's good to know you drew significant lessons from my review of Who Told You Were Naked?

And, oh, I totally agree that an idea of a second book by William Combs will be awesome.

Thanks for this review. I don't really have a very good impression of so-called "Christian" books, and I'm glad you had a good time reading this.

Hi, inaramid! Thanks for stopping by my review page and for your comments. I guess, different readers have different reading preferences, and it's all ok because it speaks to our individuality.

Sounds like a heaven on earth plot though. Might just be an informative read. Does it carry many parallel, contemporary real world situational theories which might be offensive to Christians though? If so, what are they? I hope to speed read the book soon.

Hi, Skeco!

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your comments. The book is a beautiful creative nonfiction. The author immaginatively recreates the story of Adam and Even, garnishes it with his own real life experiences as a Christian and a pastor. There is nothing in the book that will be offensive to Christians.

Thank you very much Klare. Adam and Eve are a real historical mystery who'd interest anyone who actually believed in creation theories, so the book must explain a lot from the authors own perspective. From your review perhaps I first thought there were a few outlandish theories here and there of controvercial interest.

No, Skeco. There were nothing outlandish I could really point to in the book. I guess its all a matter of individual perspective/judgement. Thanks, again :) .

This book sounds like a great read, especially for those seeking to learn a few things about Christianity. This book doesn't sound as formal and tight as a lot of Christian reads are, which is a huge plus in my eyes. Loved the review.

Not yet fully back, Miriam! Just passing by - I guess I'd be needing a couple of months more... Thanks so much!

Post by Itskai88 »

i just finished reading this book and i must say that i was quite impressed. I personally learnt from this quote in the book “The serpent helped me realise you must have misinterpreted God’s warning”. In the society today, Christian sometimes miss misinterpret the word of God just to justify actions that God does not approve and it is also true as the book states that when all is said and done the repercussions can be very embarrassing. i also rated the book 4 out of 4, great review.

Hey, KlareAllison, when are you really coming back? Well, at least you still pop in once in a while.
