This book is a nonfiction book, it is faith based and it reexamines the event that happened at the Garden of Eden.
The author of the book is William .E. Combs. Published by Carpenter’s Son Publishing,
Franklin, Tennessee and the title is who told you that you were naked?

The book tries to elucidate on the events that happened in the Garden of Eden as well as making readers to understand and decide on their choice of the Christian faith.

The author did a good job by writing from his wealth of experience and also including real life testimonies of his and others.
From the Introduction, I like the way the author used to mix his family history with his faith and how he introduces other chapters of the book. He makes it attractive.

The book is instructive and memorable.
He was able to redefine death in a way that people might have not been familiar with. I quote;
“So, what kind of death did they incur that day? Instead
of viewing death as the cessation of life, it might more appropriately
be viewed as separation or alienation. In that light,
physical death takes place when our spirit separates from our
body and our body “returns to the ground.”
Relational death occurs when the insecurities and
self-deprecation brought on by an inner sense of nakedness
alienates the participants from each other by replacing trust,
compassion, unconditional love, and acceptance with suspicion
and a shattered self-worth.
Spiritual death occurs when we are separated from the
Lord. Adam and his wife did indeed experience relational and
spiritual death that fateful day, and this alienated them from
each other and from the Lord.”

The author also elaborates on the concept of sin.
Chapter three includes some theological concepts to compare and contrast his views.
Chapter 4 illuminate on the issue of little faith and real faith.
Chapter five reveals more about sin. More revelation was also given about Jesus Christ. He also talked about how Christ died for all.
Chapter seven talks about being born again and for the first time the Bible was mentioned by the author after six chapters.
I wonder why he took him so much time to mention the Book he has spoken so much from.


I love the way the author included Study Questions for Discussion at the end of every chapter, this will make readers to ruminate over what he has read and give better comprehension.


"I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars." he did a good job; he seems to know much about his faith and was able to blend it with his experiences and testimonies.

The book will appeal most to people of the Christian faith and those who are looking for the truth about life as well as those who are frustrated and need a renewed life. It will least appeal to atheists.
