YOUR BIBLE SKILLS
Can you find the names of 25 books of the Bible in this
paragraph?
This is a most remarkable
puzzle. Someone found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los Angles to
Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. One man from
Illinois worked on this while fishing in his john boat. Roy Clark studied it while
playing his banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman judges the job to be so involving; she brews a cup
of tea to help calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot – that’s a fact. Some people will soon
find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get,
we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them
at the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear great
lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation may help, books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their
numbers. And punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete. Remember, there are 25
books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph. |
