The book entitled "Who told you that you were naked" was written by a Presbyterian minister with degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary. He has a masters degree of Divinity and a doctorate degree of Ministry. The book was published by Carpenter's Son Publishing. The type of book falls under non fiction with a literature theme that talks about life's birth, destruction, and rebirth. It encompasses the wholeness of humanity. The writer, William E. Combs was able to write a book exposing man's nakedness.
The story of Adam and Eve was seen in an uncommon perspective. It has an additional special character for more visualization. I had this thought of how can one breathe by the divine God be so wicked by wanting to be disobeying the perfect Creator during the first few chapters. Was it really about wickedness? The author was able to explain further what is was and why was their nakedness only unveiled after Adam's bite of the forbidden fruit. As to why God provided garments for Adam and Eve before banishing them from the garden of Eden, the author was keen to observe the discomforts of what they first wore. Half way reading, I felt like it was boring, probably because I am familiar with the story of creation as written in the Bible. Yet, I saw the book as insightful since I have not seen Adam and Eve's disobedience the way the author did. He did well linking the creation story to the New Testament stories of the Bible in the following chapters. This book is not typical for my taste. It is more of a lecture type, which tries to help a reader analyze it more through the series of questions at the end of each chapters. Most words used were basic aside from the words exegesis and eisegesis. It generally is well written.
Life stories or testimonials are the good things written in this book. They showcase the power of prayer. Faith is regarded as a prerequisite for great miracle stories especially those of healing. For believers, this maybe a reminder of God's grace and for the skeptics, this book can be an eye opener.
Chapter eight for me is mind blowing. This is when my boredom transformed into goosebumps all over me. I will regard it as my favorite chapter which kept me reading until the end of the book.
In conclusion, " Who told you that you were naked" is not just a book to read. It is a book, a journal of faith, written to change lives. It helps one understand life and its real purpose as to how God deemed necessary. At the end of the day, I saw this book not just worth reading, but it's content worth sharing.
I will have to rate the book 3 out of 4 stars.
