Riddle--Hidden Books of the Bible
6.23.02 | Unknown

Posted on 06/23/2002 11:45:24 AM PDT by Coleus

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.

13 .. including what I think is the 16th (guess it all depends on which version of the Bible you have.)

uhhhh, call your Dr immediately.

I don't know how unless you are mixing up all the letters.

Doing as I did still only turns up 16.

Nope - the hidden books are the normal titles - no funny translations or code....just hidden...

And yes, I found all 16 in about 20 minutes....

I don't do puzzles, but I spend time daily with the Word. A hint - look for names.
