The following was sent to me by my mom. Dear Mods if there is a copyright here?... I don't know? Feel free to remove if you even think there is.

That aside this has been a fun and frustrating excercise. Tip: I made one copy and saved it in my Bible Study Documents. Then I made another and used that one to find the books of the Bible.

When I found a book I would go back and bold the letters of that book making it stand out from the rest of the text.

Then if you care to share your discovery you can copy and paste ONLY THAT PART OF THE HIGHLIGHTED TEXT NAMING THAT BOOK.

Good luck if you decide to play and I hope this blesses you as it did me. Have fun .

PS - Lets not give up on this utill we reveal all thirty books! There isn't a time limit. I've only found nineteen!

There are thirty books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is the most remarkable puzzle. it was found by a gentlemen in an airplane seat pocket, on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours.

He enjoyed it so much he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo.

Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper. Another friend judges the job of solving so involving, she brews a cup a tea to help 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.

Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a Minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph.

During a recent fund raising event, which features this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Philemonade booth set a new sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen.

As Daniel Humana humbly puts it " the books are right here in plain view, hidden from sight." Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help in that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers.

Also keep in mind that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember there is no need for a mad exodus.

There really are thirty books of the Bible lurking somewhere in these paragraphs waiting to be found. GOOD LUCK.
