In this paragraph, there are 25 books of the bible! This is
a most remarkable puzzle. Someone found it in the seat
pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping
himself occupied for hours. One man from Illinois worked
on this while fishing from his john boat. Roy Clark studied
it while playing his banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her
column once. One woman judges the job to be so involving
she brews a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. There will
be some names that are really easy to spot...that's a fact.
Some people will soon find themselves in a jam, especially
since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. The
truth is, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it
usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at
the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for the
difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will
hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown.
One revelation may help, books like Timothy and Samuel may
occur without their numbers. And punctuations or spaces in
the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete.
Remember, there are 25 books of the bible lurking somewhere
in this paragraph. Can you find them?
