Question

Not to be religious here, but someone gave me this and I thought it was pretty interesting. I'm copying everything from this page which was apparently sent as an e-mail to a friend of mine who passed it along to me.

Can you find the names of 16 books from the Bible in the paragraph below without the aid of your Bible (if you happen to own one)? One minister found 25 of the books in 20 minutes, but it took him weeks to find the last one.

I once made the remark about the hidden books of 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 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.

On a side note. I finished this in about 25 minutes of work. Bonanova did about the same.

For a Sunday school teacher like me, I will be guilty if I wasn't able to answer this one.

I'm not up on my bible studies... but here's a quick go over.

Is titus really a book? and esther? If so 13 ain't a bad start.

Mainly found through staring at the parts of the paragraph that seemed a little forced. Or out of place.
