Books
of the Bible
While looking for material to
teach a Bible class I rediscovered the following puzzle. I’ve had it for so long I’m not sure where or how I obtained it. All I
remember is that it really challenged me. You on the other hand will probably find it rather easy. Here is the challenge. There are
names of 16 books of the Bible hidden in the paragraph below. See how many you can find! A preacher found 15 books in 20 minutes; it
took him three weeks to find the 16th one! Have fun!
" I once made a remark about the hidden books in 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 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.
Relax now, for there really are sixteen names of books of the Bible in this paragraph. Your time starts right now!
See you in church Sunday!
