Who Told You That You Were Naked? by William E. Combs
This is another book that I read.
Who Told You That You
Were Naked? A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden by William E.
Combs is a nonfiction book based on the Garden of Eden. This book was published in 2016 by
Carpenter’s Son Publishing. The author
is a retired Presbyterian minister, who came up with this idea by a sermon that
also uses his experiences. He received
his Masters of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from the Fuller
Theological Seminary.
The reason for this book is to consider the events that
brought sin and death into the world.
This book is interesting book to read.
The author starts the book with a vivid memory from his
childhood. The memory is a vivid picture of the first time he saw the aurora
borealis in Alaska when he was a child.
It is a vivid descriptive memory that it is like you are there with
him.
The purpose of this book is to consider the events that made
sin and death come into the world. The
author reflects on the joy of the Garden of Eden; the finding of a helpmate for
Adam; the plans that God had for them; and to their leaving the Garden of Eden
because of sin. He also explores what
happened after Adam and Eve left the Garden including Cain killing his brother,
Abel. The book goes on to talk about the
relationship of faith; individual’s faith; God’s promise to everyone through
faith; establishing a relationship with Jesus; how to walk in the way; and how
to follow him. There is so much to read
and contemplate that one will have to read the book to find out.
What was interesting to me was the personal testimonies
about himself and his family that he wrote about in this book. I really liked learning about his church life
and how he became a minister. I also
enjoyed the thought questions at the end of each chapters which made you stop
and think about what you read. This book
was filled with immense Bible quotes and research that you know that the author
put time and effort into writing this book.
I am a church goer but not to the one the author goes to but
for me personally, I didn’t care for the adding of conversations and
descriptions of what wasn’t in the Bible. For example, the conversation and details
of what went on in the Garden of Eden.
We don’t know what Adam or Eve did or said because it is not written in
the Bible.
I rate this book 3
out of 4 stars because even though it is full of research, details, Bible
quotes and personal testimonies, it still for me added stuff that wasn’t in the
Bible. I still enjoyed it. People who will enjoy this book will be the
ones who love reading and mediating on religious book like church goers and
ones who are just starting out in their journey to God.

Book Review on Alpha Kaden
I read this great book. And I want to share a review about that book that I wrote.
This was an interesting book. I enjoyed reading it from the first page until the end. Mara, from the Purity Pack is taught from childbirth to fear Alpha Kaden from the Vengeance Pack. She doesn't fear him until one night he kidnaps her from her bed. He tells her that he isn't going to make her a slave just a bride for his brother. She doesn't like it or accept and tries to escape. He threatens her parents if she doesn't marry his brother. She is told that she is to do a mission, she agrees to it but doesn't plan to comply but uses it to escape. What happens next is fast paced adventure and excitement. What happens next, you will have to find out. What does Kaden know that Mara doesn't?
