Who Told You That You Were Naked? A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden by William E. Combs is an analysis of the events which took place in the garden of Eden before and after man sinned against God. This book is good for Religious people who want to know more about Spiritual things and increase their knowledge of God.

The striking part of the book that got me fully interested in it was the author's creative and careful imaginations of the events that took place in the garden of Eden. Adam's conversations with the animals before the hours when God would come down to have fellowship with him. What Went through his mind while he was naming the animals as he was instructed by God to do. The Author William must have been in the state of mind that depicted and reflected how Adam felt in the garden all alone doing his business before God noticed how lonely he was though he had all the other animals to keep him company.

His analysis of the events which place before and after the creature who Adam called woman was created shows the author's creative ingenuity. He was able to depict their innocence in a clear and simple picture, simple enough for anyone to understand it at first glance. His analysis on how the serpent was able to deceive Eve to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of "good and evil" and she was able to lure Adam into eating the fruit which God had warned them not to eat was yet another display of excellent creative thinking. The study questions after each topic and the highlighting of salient points in form of nuggets are excellent addendums to the book which readers would very much like and appreciate.

However, the author's sudden digression from the central theme From chapter 5 into other religious matters was an unnecessary distraction from the title of this book. Interesting as those other topics may have appeared, readers might find them very boring as they would take their minds away from the central message of the book. There were also some typographic errors like ("Why go to all this effort and leave it" and "at issue"). I think they were some oversights by the editors

I, there rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The book is very enlightening and would impact alot of spiritual values on the readers. This is a very good book and I highly recommend it for everyone to read and be blessed by it just as I was when I carefully read through it.
