Someone sent this to me this morning. It's a great exercise for the brain. Have fun! I found them all in about 30 minutes, but whew! Don't put your answers in here until everybody cries UNCLE!


A Little Brain Teaser



There are names of 16 books of the Bible mentioned in the paragraph below. See how many you can find. (A preacher found 15 books in 20 minutes. It took him three weeks to find the 16th one!)…

“I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu, kept people looking so hard for facts and 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 other 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 find 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.”

No, I did it all by myself! LOL I copied it into Word and deleted all the spaces and capital letters - that made it much easier.
