Who Told You That You Were Naked? A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden offers a story based on faith and belief, with each chapter finishing with dialog questions and Bible verses to offer assistance. The author's composing strategy is one that appears rather than tells; hence the reader gets to encounter the environment and sentiments along with the imperative authentic figures.
One of the primary focuses of this book is that Christians are in need of reexamining the prevalent idea of sin, which is ordinarily seen as a simple list of offenses that can be overcome by basically committing them less regularly. Reverend Combs smashes this misguided judgment (and a few others) by utilizing particular illustrations from the Bible to back up his focuses. Moreover, he gives point by point anecdotal accounts of what life may have been like for Adam, Eve, and others. Christians with a more standard perspective might balk at these stories, but I actually found them to be accommodating and pleasant.
The creator talks straightforwardly on a few critical subjects all through the book, counting physical, spiritual, death in the land of the plants and the implications behind each one, uncovering the redemptive rather than corrective qualities. Each chapter is broken down into bite-size parcels of point by point subheadings and brief screenplays, with empowering declarations sprinkled all through the book. The most paramount declaration Combs offers is the one around being irritated by Satan and his minions amid the night where he wrestles a dull figure and his spouse reproaches it. This design of inconvenience they experienced is too something I fight with at times, particularly when I have either just had an incredible spiritual encounter or am almost to have one, so I can certainly correlate!
Be that as it may, the author highlights Paul’s inadequacy to overcome sin, our own fallen nature, and our desire to confess our “total failure to free ourselves from our sentiments of nakedness”, which ought to be a lasting and consistent confession. Other points secured are little-faith and genuine faith. Combs records the steps to having genuine faith as well as a prayer of faith. In the final four chapters, he talks about spiritual worship; evil propensities, the root of sin, and passing on to sin; being free in Christ and strolling in the light; and finally, three things Christ is calling each of us to.
After finishing this book, I am obliged to say that it granted me a worthy reading experience. Personally, I found the plots and points well written, and no grammatical errors were encountered. However, I must warn Atheists that this book certainly isn't meant to be for them to read. Thus, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
