Who Told You That You Were Naked?: A Refreshing Reexamination of The Garden of Eden by William E. Combs is an intriguing non-fictional book that delves into the Christian religion. The book contains 161 pages, and it is divided into ten chapters. According to the Christian religion, God created heaven and earth. He created everything that exists, and he also created man, Adam. Adam, the first man, could not find a suitable partner for himself in the garden which is why God created Eureka, the first woman, with Adam's rib. God gave them instructions and guidelines to live with, but the choices that the first humans made affected their relationship with their creator. Who Told You That You Were Naked?: A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden is a clear work of reexamination and exegesis by the author. The book also explains what could have happened if they had not disobeyed, and it also lays out the standard for our relationship with God.

Who Told You That You Were Naked?: A Refreshing Reexamintion of the Garden of Eden by William E. Combs is a thought-provoking book. The author is concise in the presentation of his perspective, and I love the way he used simple words for description. From my observation, this book is based on the Bible and the author's perspective.

The book is a good reexamination of the fall of man at the garden of Eden. One special thing about the book is the study questions at the end of every chapter, It helped me to think. I also love the fact that the author goes on to talk about faith and our relationship with God. The only way that we can live a blissful life as Christians is if we allow God's will to influence our decisions.

If we acclaim that, God is our Ruler, father, and friend then we must do things based on his rules, we must listen as a child to his instructions and confide in him as a friend. Reliance on our knowledge of good and evil leads us to sin. It is very sacrosanct to have a relationship with Christ that is based on faith in his insurmountable power and love.

One thing I like about the book is its concise nature. The author does not introduce anything new rather he expounds on the things that we, Christians, already know. The book seems to be highly educational, and I think it would be engaging to any Christian reader. Sincerely, I could not agree less with the truths that the author presents in this book. I did not notice anything negative.

This book was well written. This book was professionally edited, and I did not notice any grammatical or spelling errors while reading this book. As a Christian, I enjoyed every aspect of this book.

I recommend this work of refreshing reexamination specifically to Christians. I think that any Christian who reads this book would gain a lot from it. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars due to the few points mentioned above.

God's ever constant mercy for mankind is incomprehensible. His mercy was shown to the first man even after Adam sinned against God. Thanks for the great review.

Sometimes I wonder what could have been, had the first man not sinned against God. In all, I believe what would be, would definitely be. Thanks for the review.
