HIDDEN BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
by UNEEK Wed May 23, 2012 11:57 pm
There are thirty books of the Bible in this paragraph. 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 some 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 their 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 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 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.

Quite creative. Thanks for bringing this for us uneek.
On a side note...A long passed uncle of mine who lived in Florida, had our family tree chased, on my mothers side of the family. After several years of hard research, the searchers came to him and said to finish the process it was going to be quite an exorbitant of money. My uncle asked why so. The searchers told him that they had chased the family into the book of Ruth and would need to use the Bible to finish. Appearantly out of satisfaction in the work done and the possible lack of enough finances the search was discontinued. The rest we are still to know.

RICK152 -- WOW -- Very interesting -- thank you for sharing
I love bringing interesting things here to the Coffee Shop but I am getting a bit frustrated and discouraged --
I cannot figure out the secret to the posting here -- I copy paste my info sometimes in word then re copy and past to the forum here -- when I click for preview it NEVER EVER -- EVER looks like what I have put in the box -- The formatting is just horrible -- I am about ready to give up unless someone can help me --- sorry but it is just soooo frustrating !!!!
If I type every word inside the box it usually previews okay - the problem for the most part is when I copy and paste to the box
