CAN YOU FIND 16 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE?
After publishing one version of this puzzle I have had three more sent to me which are variations on this one. The first one is from the WATCH newsletter. The second one is from Wesley Miller who says the first one is not the original he was given in 1978. The third one is from Sam and I have lost his original e-mail telling me who he is and where he got the puzzle.
On February 2, 1999 I was given the URL to a 21 books of the bible puzzle.
I have appended the names of the books of the bible to help you.
1. I once made a remark about the hidden books of the bible. It was a lulu; kept some people looking so hard for facts and for others it was a revelation. some were in a jam, especially since the name of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others 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 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 are really sixteen names of books in the bible in this story.
(One preacher found 15 books in 20 minutes but it took him 3 weeks to find the sixteenth one!!!)

Wesley was told that the author was a Seventh Day Adventist pastor working in Galveston, Texas.
3. Someone showed me this story and remarked that there are twenty books of the Bible hidden here. He challenged me to find them. Sure enough they’re all here. Still this thing’s a lulu, kept me looking so hard for the longest time. Some of you will get bogged down with acts, others are hit by them like they were some kind of revelation or something. You may get in a jam especially since the names are not capitalized and often leap the spaces between the words. This makes it a real job to find them but it’ll provide a most fascinating few minutes for you. Yes there are some really easy ones to spot, but don’t get the big head cause truthfully you’ll soon figure that it would take most federal judges and preachers numbers of hours to find them all. I will admit that it usually takes a minister to find one of them and that is not uncommon for there are to be loud lamentations when it is pointed out. One lady says that when she is confronted with puzzles like this she brews a cup of tea to help her concentrate better but then this lady’s a real pro! Verbs, nouns and all that stuff are her thing. See how well you can compete. Relax, there really are twenty names of Bible books in this story, If you fail to find them there’s a penalty. You’ll have to go fly a kite, sit on a banana, hum the battle hymn of the republic, or hose a dog (a mean one). Go get it!

It took him three weeks to find the seventeenth one.)
