Title: Who Told You That You Were Naked? Subtitle: A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden Author: William Combs Narrator: Jason Huggins Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 02-15-17 Publisher: Carpenter's Son Publishing Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary: The knowledge of good and evil we inherited from Adam is a dimension of our intellect so innate, so instinctual, so intuitive, so pervasive a way of responding to our everyday circumstances, it is virtually impossible to avoid. Even though it is the wellspring of our transgressions, we are apt to overlook its devastating impact and view sin as a lifelong list of errant acts, believing we can become better Christians by committing fewer of them. The purpose of this book is to reexamine how sin came into the world through Adam and how the lord has redeemed us by his grace through faith from this formidable adversary "crouching at the door".

Members Reviews: Looking Deeper into Sin I really enjoyed how the author told the story of Adam and Eve and brought out points that made things clearer . It is one of the Bible stories that most people have heard, but not really broke down into sections that help readers understand the significance of this story. I loved how the author said that instead of looking at what they did wrong " it might more appropriately be viewed as separation or alienation." When we sin do we feel naked? I thought about that question a lot. For me, when I do something that is not of God I do sense a feeling of nakedness. I feel vulnerable and not covered in His protectiveness. The author goes into depth about other people in the Bible who had gone against God. I loved how he explained the scriptures and gave examples to help readers visualize what the Word is saying. The author does explain that he has taken some liberties in the retelling of some of the stories in the Bible. I found it refreshing to look at a different point of view and understand about where sin came come. So many of us do wrong things and then try to blame someone else for the deed. What would it be like if we owned what we did wrong ? What freedom would it bring? One of my favorite chapters is when the author talks about anxiety. I have suffered from PTSD for a long time. Anxiety and depression is part of living with PTSD. It can keep you locked away so no one can get close to you. "Anxiety is signal we do not have a solution for a given situation." When the author talked about Christ's peace and that it "remains in our hearts and minds, guarding and protecting us from the worry and anxiety normally accompanying a stressful environment," it reminded me that I'm not alone. We try to solve things on our own instead of calling on Jesus to help us. I loved that the author included study questions at the end of every chapter. It helps readers go deeper into the Word and reexamine the chapter and apply the questions to our walk with Christ. The book was well written and I found it to be very helpful. I look forward to more books from this very gifted author. I received a copy of this book from the author and The BookClub Network. The review is my own opinion.

A thought provoking look at the Garden of Eden story, Faith and sin Who Told You That You Were Naked; A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden by William E. Combs. As you will read in his bio, William likes to paint word pictures so that people can better relate to the biblical stories. He mentions in the book that he takes some liberties with the retelling of the story to make it relatable.
