Review of Who Told You That You Were Naked?
[Following is a volunteer review of "Who Told You That You Were Naked?" by William Combs.]
This book brings us to the knowledge of sin, salvation and faith. Who Told You That You Were Naked by William E. Combs is an account of a dramatic and exciting embellishment of Adam's days in the Garden of Eden, before God created his companion, Eve. Most importantly, this book reveals the events through which sin and death entered the world.
In the introductory and the first chapter of the book, the story sounded familiar (everyone knows the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden), and I got bored. Still, I kept on reading. Then in the second chapter, it dawned on me that Eve's encounter with the serpent could be me or anyone. The devil encourages us to do the unthinkable by showing us apparent reasons why we should do them, especially in situations where we are vulnerable. This idea sparked my interest.
This book teaches the benefits of obedience, the consequences, and the guilt of disobedience. I learned a lot from this book, but the one that stood out to me is the role that the sin of transgression played in the history of humanity. It seems as though if Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit, humanity would have been free from death. Again I ask, did sin change the initial plan of God for humanity to dominate the earth?
Each chapter concludes with a set of questions that summarise the main points. These questions, which bolster the information, could also serve as excellent topics to spark conversations during Bible studies. For this reason, the book could serve as a practical guide for Bible study.
Combs' personal stories made the book more relatable and emphasised the points he was trying to make. The stories are excellent examples of Scripture in action. As I read the stories, I felt both beautiful and terrifying emotions.
The structure and style of writing are explanatory with the Bible verses stated out; however, the use of ambiguous words was something I had to deal with obviously with the aid of a dictionary. Though I still enjoyed and understood the author's message, simpler words would have made the book more enjoyable.
The editors did a fantastic job on the book. I found no errors in it. Hence I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. As a matter of urgency, I recommend the book for Christians seeking the rebirth of their spirit into a relationship with the Lord through faith in Jesus Christ. The book doesn't contain any profane words; rather, its words are edifying.
