Who Told You That You Were Naked? A Refreshing Reexaminations of the Garden of Eden written by William E. Combs unfolds confusion on sin. William studied Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees at Fuller Theological Seminary which made this book suitable to various denominations of Pastors, Ministers and Christians believers.

In Bible discussion, sin is the most controversial issue until now. Debates are everywhere under the account of sin. When we talk about sin, we usually go back to the beginning of sin situated in the "book of Genesis." The nakedness in the past does not bear malice until "sin" entered the world. In addition, only a few people do not know about Satan. In fact, a young child was commonly taught that "Satan" is "God's enemy" and the enemy of us all.

William illustrated a fictional-story-type on the account of Genesis especially in the Garden of Eden. I disagree over some of his points prior to the "scene of sin" when a Lioness chased a ewe. My point is, I guess prior to sin everything was in harmony." However, my disagreement does not hinder my attentiveness in flicking through this book. I still enjoyed the fictional-story-type events in the Garden of Eden. William's description makes me feel "I am walking in that gorgeous garden and eventually eat some fruits."

Do you doubt on God? You should give this book a try because it is like you are digging treasures. Your faith will increase when you experience the toughest times of your life. I appreciate William's in-deep study on Adam and Eve's fall for it makes me realize "how great is the love of God towards me."

You can add this book to your collection of religious books because it is a good source for studying sin, faith and righteousness. The latter key points are being discussed thoroughly in this book. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because William provides a thorough discussion in the account of rebellion in the book of Genesis. The book is written properly because the errors already been addressed and corrected as I read other reviews on this book about the few misspelled words.

I appreciate testimonies of numerous people, though I did encounter them; they imparted me words of encouragement. This day's people oftentimes make God just like a "paracetamol" because of hard work and leisure. They call God only when needed! I am so gratified with the testimony because I know God is working in accord to someone's faith.

This is perfect! The most perfect answer to all Christian, maybe some were faithful. Today's generation, call God when needed! The last choice!

I found this book so interesting huh! Thanks to the review.

Nice review. This story of Adam and Eve seems very insightful. I've read a lot of accounts and I think I'd love to know what William has to say about the story.
