Who told you that you were naked?
By William E Combs
This heading was bound to capture my eye. As a person who is always in pursuit of truth I too for once wanted to know the answer to this question.
The book opened up by the writer narrating his explanation of darkness versus light, this gave an indication that this book was more than just a one direction instruction on how to live a life of Christianity but was more of a manual on Christianity applied. He then narrated several stories and to my dismay I was too inquisitive of the meat of the book, I guess I am too direct so a little patience was needed on my part to relax and enjoy the book. Another reader will enjoy the narrations as the do lead up to the crux of this book and serve as a necessary add-on to the understanding of the message the book is bringing about to the consumer of the content. The concept of nakedness was further elaborated on and gave a clear insight on how the transgression committed at the garden
affected mankind. They did obtain a trait which was formerly possessed by God only – knowledge of difference between self and other but the cost of that knowledge was that the differences between man and woman since both were not the creator of each other they could not fathom accepting
themselves in light of their nakedness hence the futile attempt at man-made garments. This book shed light into why even today man attempts by all means possible to “clothe” oneself to be acceptable to his onlookers.
Sin is only named after the initial act of disobedience on this book probably to give the reader an opportunity to explore the concept. In the second chapter many other illustration are used to define the act and elaborate how delicate sin actually is – it can never be clear cut but oftentimes is motivated by other factors. My personal favourite covering was the chapter of covering faith. The chapter gave answers one would battle with upon reading Jesus’ parables of “little faith”. The examples also lived up to the satisfaction much needed to better understand the concept of faith and how to apply it. The topic of “Free indeed” was a bonus covering and made this book have more meat. I guess it also helps that the writer is a renowned pastor who has years of experience in this
subject. He seems to fully grasp the difference between sinners, good people and the sinless son of Adam and how to be saved.
The writer must have received true enlightenment cover the items he covered on the book the same way he did, the book makes for an easy read and the questions at the end of the chapters assist the reader to think deeper and ponder how to apply the knowledge gotten from the book personally. Readers are also given a chance to commit their lives to Christ if they feel led to by the Spirit and many more ways of applying Christianity on a personal level are contained herein. This would be a
good buy and I would suggest every household that believes in Christ to have a copy at home because some other lessons can only be covered in book format. Also the book is a good support to the Bible and the principles taught therein. My rating will be 3 out of 4. The book is well written, each subject covered to my satisfaction and has practical ways of living a life as a Christian.
