Bible Books Puzzle

[lizbud]

I am stuck at just 5 books. How many do you see?


There are names of 16 books of the Bible mentioned in the paragraph below.
See how many you can find. HINT: The names can be part of a word or part of two words put together.


"I once made a remark about the hidden books of the bible. It was a lulu,
kept people looking so hard for the 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 find 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 the paragraph."

At least five are really, really obvious. I'm at twelve in about ten minutes or so; I'll look for the rest later.

I got 13.

A hint to searchers......try to look at the LETTERS individually, don't read the words.

Your answer key has one more sentence than the selection lizbud posted. That last sentence - If I chose another sentence or two, maybe you could post them at the water cooler. - contains the 17th and 18th books.

Ok, I think I did very well considering I know NOTHING about the bible.
I got 15 in the original paragraph. And I found the two in the additional sentence as well. :D

I have 15 but I can't find the last one. I think I'll look at the list.:)

This was a lot of fun!:D
