But no matter how hard I try, I can't get 16.
Can you????
Blogger's note... and confession... and thanks...
If you check the string of comments below, kp found the answer for me. Read the process she went through, and then commend her for having the detective abilities of a modern-day Sherlock Holmes!
As you'll see when your read her comment, a typo on my part contributed to the confusion.
Thanks, kp!
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts… and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be the 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 to tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are sixteen names of books of the Bible in this paragraph.
Use the comment box to share the ones you find - maybe between us, we can complete this pesky puzzle!
15 for me. mark, luke, kings, acts, revelation, james, ruth, numbers, job, esther, judges, titus, lamentations, hebrews, peter
ReplyDeleteI've got the same as Julie. What's the 16th? I even checked the list on Wiki!
ReplyDeletewow. That's crazy. I'm too tired right now to concentrate on that! I did find mark luke and james though :)
ReplyDeleteWOW - crazy.. I'm on a mission to find them NOW.. Lovely blog..Following you from blog hop.. I'm Marilyn from http://theartsygirlconnection.blogspot.com, hope you can stop by sometime.. TY
ReplyDeleteI've been working on this on and off all day. I, too, found 15. And then I cheated: I copy/pasted the paragraph into MSWord, deleted all spaces and punctuation, got rid of caps, and used the search feature to look for all the books of the Bible. There is no 16th, unless it's written vertically or backwards, which is what I'll look fir next =P
ReplyDeleteI figured it out! You have a typo, according to the answer sheet at http://30booksbiblegame.com/?page_id=5 "We want it to be THE most fascinating..." should read, We want it to be A most fascinating..."
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower from the over 40 Hop. I will come back, with a cup of tea, and look for all the books, I scanned quickly and found a few but I want to find #16!
