Find The Books of the Bible
Can You Find 19 Books of the Bible in the Following Paragraph:*
SOMEONE SHOWED ME THIS STORY AND REMARKED THAT THERE ARE TWENTY BOOKS OF THE BIBLE HIDDEN HERE. HE CHALLENGED ME TO FIND THEM. SURE ENOUGH THEY’RE ALL HERE. STILL THIS THING’S A LULU, KEPT ME LOOKING SO HARD FOR THE LONGEST TIME. SOME OF YOU WILL GET BOGGED DOWN WITH FACTS OTHERS ARE HIT BY THEM LIKE THEY WERE SOME KIND OF REVELATION OR SOMETHING. YOU MAY GET IN A JAM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NAMES ARE NOT CAPITALIZED AND OFTEN LEAP THE SPACES BETWEEN THE WORDS. THIS MAKES IT A REAL JOB TO FIND THEM BUT IT’LL PROVIDE A MOST FASCINATING FEW MINUTES FOR YOU. YES, THERE ARE SOME REALLY EASY ONES TO SPOT, BUT DON’T GET A BIG HEAD CAUSE TRUTHFULLY YOU’LL SOON FIGURE THAT IT WOULD TAKE MOST FEDERAL JUDGES AND PREACHERS NUMBERS OF HOURS TO FIND THEM ALL. I WILL ADMIT THAT IT USUALLY TAKES A MINISTER TO FIND ONE OF THEM AND THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THERE ARE TO BE LOUD LAMENTATIONS WHEN IT IS POINTED OUT. ONE LADY SAYS THAT WHEN SHE IS CONFRONTED WITH PUZZLES LIKE THIS, SHE BREWS A CUP OF TEA TO HELP HER CONCENTRATE BETTER, BUT THEN THIS GALS A REAL PRO! VERBS, NOUNS, AND ALL THAT STUFF ARE HER THING. SEE HOW WELL YOU CAN COMPETE RELAX! THERE REALLY ARE NINETEEN NAMES OF BIBLE BOOKS IN THIS STORY. IF YOU FAIL TO FIND THEM THERE’S A PENALTY YOU’LL HAVE TO GO FLY A KITE, SIT ON A BANANA, HUM THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC, OR HOSE A DOG (A MEAN ONE) GET TO IT!!
*Hint: It might help to read the paragraph first before looking for the bible books. Some clues are contained within the reading.
I’ll post the results in a day or two.

I have three left to find but I must got to bed for now. I did have to pull out the bible to refresh my memory on all the books of the bible to obtain three others.

This was difficult! Are there 19 or 20? I found 19 am I missing one? And do abbreviations count?

As far as I know, there are only 19 and they should be the full name of the book, not abbreviations.

i remember this puzzle — and the athiest did pick them out pretty easily.
of course, i had religion class at the time…

I was confused because the first line of the story says there are 20 so I thought maybe gal could be an abbreviation for galatians, then I thought, well, that’s probably stretching it.

Here’s the answer to this riddle.
As far as I can tell, there are only 19 listed. If someone found the twentieth, let me know. Never paid attention to it saying 20 in the puzzle itself…
