Who Told You That You Were Naked? is a spiritually enriching book written by a retired Presbyterian pastor, William E. Combs. I must say that the title of this book intrigued me to give it a try. I am thankfully delighted by the author's presentation.

I was initially reluctant to take this book up, basically because of two significant reasons. One being a non-Christian, I might be too little in knowledge to comprehend it. The other reason was the highlight stating 'A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden' on the cover page. This one-liner explains the focal content of this tome. It evoked me to probe as much as it escalated my apprehension as I am just bubblehead beyond Adam Eve's story in the garden. Incognizance to all other characters involved in the story beyond upsurged me to leave the book after reading a few pages of the book only to relent.

To my amazement, I found myself deep digging into this book when I came across the author's intriguing questions at the end of each chapter. These questions made me ponder on what the author deduced from the context. I admit I didn't understand what the author meant by using the different reference verses from Genesis until these questions arrived. The multidimensional representation of a simple versification broadened my perception to discern beyond the words.

The book is divided into ten chapters prominently highlighting sin, its plight, faith, and persuading obedience to God. William's virtuoso in pastoring and delivering sermons is remarkably visible in his resourceful presentation of testaments from the Bible. Questioning someone's religious beliefs is an operose task without rigorous backing of thought-provoking opinions. William's reexamination with utmost care to sentimental connections is worth analyzing. A noteworthy takeaway for me is that we are the figures of wrongdoing while God is always willing to grant an amnesty. Given that, we must faithfully and gratefully adhere to His shown path.

I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I could not find a single mistake though I was critical of locating some of them. The book is exceptionally well-edited. The flow and illustrations are suitably maintained so that the readers may find it easier to assimilate. Nevertheless, this book is most suitable for readers following Christianity. Additionally, it may interest the readers who are open to reading beyond their religion. While on the other hand, those who are of subtle opinion about a religious belief must resist this one.
