TWO: FIND THE BOOKS

Instructions: You will find the names of 23 books of the Bible hidden in the grey high-lighted text below. Click here for answers. The names of the books and the words to look for are listed after the text below:

Merely by a fluke, I made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. The facts were, it kept people looking so hard for hints and revelations.

One relaxed lady found so many she was asked if, before solving her puzzles, she brews a cup of “jo”.

“Nah, um, she smiled and stuttered, “I’m no, ah … pro.
Verb Sat maybe, but no puzzle solver.”

When asked what “Verb Sat” meant, she smiled “verbum sat sapienti: A word to the wise is sufficient.”

However; some seekers were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. Truthfully to numbers of readers, it wasn’t easy, but a real job.

We want this to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some easy ones but others may require judges to help them. I quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and I predict there will be loud lamentations when it is found. 

Don’t give up if you first come up with a zero. Man’s first try is always the hardest. Rarest here, are those and others who solve all of them. (Geez! Rarely, does anyone find  ALL of them.)

See how well you can compete! Relax! Below are the following names of books hidden in this story.

Ps: Almost everyone returns in an attempt to finish.

1. Luke 2. Mark 3. Kings 4. Acts 5. Revelations 6. Hebrews 7. Jonah 8. Nahum 9. Noah 10. Proverbs 11. James 12. Ruth 13. Numbers 14. Job 15. Judges 16. Titus 17. Lamentations 18. Peter 19. Romans 20. Ezra 21. Esther 22. Hosea 23. Psalm(s): “s” is not included

Just for fun, also look for these words found in scripture: “sin”, “tempt”, “truth”, “seek”, “men”, “follow”, “mile”, “hem”, “axe”, “wise”, “loft”, “rest”, “sea” and “see”
