Can you find them all?

There are 30 books of the bible in this paragraph. Can you


find them? This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a


gentleman 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 column. Another friend judges the job


of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to


help her nerves. There will be names that are really easy


to spot. That’s a fact. Some people, however, 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 featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth


set a new 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 all 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 is 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 30 books of the bible


lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found. God bless
