Bible Books Puzzle

Bible Every Book of the King James Bible is found here; see if you can find all of them.

Paragraph One
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. Ther e 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.

Paragraph Two
Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales 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 right there 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. Sometimes it’s nearly impossible to hide words such as Deuteronomy, Habakkuk, Haggai, Zephaniah, and Zechariah, so we give them to you as freebies.

Paragraph Three
A man named Jud eventually gave up. Josh Uakari is a strange name but Philip Pians is a municipality in the district of Landeck in Tyrol, Austria not far from colos sians who are singers who spout occasional proverbs along with their song of solo monks. You may recall The Beatles sang Oba di ah-ha and another group said Jeremiah was a bullfrog; and no one can forget Micah Roll Your Boat Ashore! Jona H. Goldberg writes about this puzzle as does Levi Ticus who studies genealogy and is fascinated by word contractions such as ez ravels. However Indian chief Ne He miah is a Iah from Australia and enjoys the challenge. Alas teenagers like Cori N. Thiansky found the Ssalonians tribe of Nepal loves this puzzle as does the Psal Monists of Tibet! Finally Ed Galatian spends his time doing nothing but puzzles and corresponds to his friend Eze Kiel who hails from Stephesians, Russia. The Right Reverend zech Ari Ah Bohag gained keen insight when he found them all as did a man from Zeph Aniah Turkey. Finally even King Solomon may not find all the correct Bible books.

Paragraph Four
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 all of the Books of the Bible lurking in these paragraphs waiting to be found.
