Riddle--Hidden Books of the Bible

Can you find the 16 Books of the Bible hidden in the paragraph below? (One minister found 15 books in 20 minutes, but it took him weeks to find the last one.)
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 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.

Uhhh, my Bible is protestant.
The first 8 were easy without a Bible.
two other OT's are easy.
One Gospel can be difficult.
As can a couple of NT short ones and an OT short one.

They all do.
Only one bridges across more than 2 words. And given it's short length, it's amazing that it does.
Some are a part of one word or one word and a letter or two of another.

I'm used to looking at crazy mixed up titles on ebay.
Lucky I guess. Quix helped with his 8 and 8. And I did drag out a bible. It wasn't much help because it was a catholic one and you should see how they spell some of those books! osee. aggeus. lol.

Ha! I got 15 of them on my second pass, and I had to glance at my New Testament to find number 16. It was tricky.
Thanks for the little mind-bender!
