Hidden Books Of The Bible - Nobody Interest in a Game?

Hi Everbody,

Can you find the names of 16 books from the Bible in the paragraph below without the aid of your bible? (One minister found 15 of the books in 20 minutes, but it took him weeks to find the last one.) Very Happy

I once made the remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts... and for others it
was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names
of the books were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home
to numbers of our readers. To others it was a real job. We want it
to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are sixteen names of books of the Bible in this paragraph.

Ok Guys find me 16 out of this paragraph! Keep track of your time.
It's fun, Wink

Sorry Nob...

Not a big puzzle person - too little patience...

I did get to Job though... then I faded away...

Hello Nobby!

Hi Jones, that's pretty good time. Which one gave you the most trouble finding?
A lot of people have enjoyed this little game! I'm not sure it's been awhile but I know I found 15 & was a long time finding the 16th book! Very Happy

That was when I first worked it.
I wanted to place it on the board. I didn't have much time, i had to look at the answers to get 2 books so I could put the answers on the board. Very Happy

Would you believe that the last book that I found was NUMBERS!?
