There are actually, 30 books in this puzzle.  Anna and I found them 
all.  Some of them are hidden pretty good.

A PUZZLE FOR YOUR PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS OR BIG BROTHERS AND SISTERS


There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph.  Can you find 
them?  This is a most remarkable puzzle.  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 a scholar to see some 
of them at the worst.  Research has shown that some
thing in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in 
seeing the books in this paragraph.  During recent fund raising 
event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth 
set a new 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.
