Who told you that you are naked? is a nonfictional story written by William Combs. The story covers Christian believes in their God in a simple and precise perspective. Human beings are probably not naked, they already have all the things that they might probably require, what is required of them is just little effort. So therefore, their is no reason to strain yourselves in life. The book has 10 chapters and about 185 pages. It will be very possible for a person to read it in one sitting, but in order to understand the content, I will advice that a person should tackle only 3 chapters for every sitting, and not to forget, answering the questions the author has written at the end of each chapter will also be of great help.
The story starts with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God forbids them from eating the fruit of the tree in the center of the garden. A serpent comes and ensures that they both feed on the fruit, cheating them that they will be as wise as their Load, with knowledge of evil and good. From this descriptions of the first days of the world, William describes more stories from the bible, quoting some verses from the bible as well as including stories of his life and that of his wife. For my own convenience, I will have to jump the stories from the old testament and go on to the new testament. William summarizes the story of Jesus Christ in a precise and simple manner, giving detailed information of his teachings which relate with the fact that, God created us being complete, and it's pointless to strain ourselves doing things that are behold our ability. Teachings of Paul about the gospel are also included.
The plot of the book was simple and easy to follow. The stories from the Bible has followed the same order as they are in their. The words used are also not difficult to figure out their meanings. The author, as I had said earlier, uses his own story life and that of his wife throughout his book, I liked this habit because I could feel a personal touch with him and the boredom of pure narration was reduced. The author also selects important quotations of his writings and puts them in a box after a selected section. This was of great help to me because I could understand his content better. Also, these selections helped me before I started reading the book know what the book was all about. Apart from this selections, the author also includes notes of all the things he has captured in a chapter at the end of each chapter. This will be of great help also to the readers in knowing what the book is about and when they want to remind themselves of what they learned in a certain chapter. Another thing I yet liked about the book is that the author includes some questions at the end of each chapter, by passing across this questions, I was able to access if I had understood a certain chapter.
The title of the book also captured my attention to read the book. I was very curious to know who was thinking was naked and yet was not naked, and why think to be naked. The book cover, with the image of a beautiful tree holding a beautiful fruit also attracted me to the book. The content of the book was also fascinating.
Having not found nothing to dislike about the book, I am very happy to rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I did not spot any grammatical or spelling mistakes in the book, it was professionally edited. Christians will enjoy reading the book. Also, for those who have lost their faith in God will find the book helpful in regaining it. People of other religions apart from Christianity may find the book difficult to enjoy. Jesus Christ stories are repeatedly referred to.
