PUZZLE:

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts. For others it was a real revelation of proverb status. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books are not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. It should be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes there are some books that will be a hard job to find, but those are the most fun. Can a human being really find all twenty-five of them? At the worst, you should find fifteen. A gal at Ianstown, Scotland did. So did a man named Timothy Hezekiah. No defect in the genes is required, nor is chronic lessening of thought; although I will admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. What will keep you from answering this challenge? A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. How long you keep working on it only you can judge, so long as you try to compete. Remember, we’ve had fun seeking out twenty-five books of the Bible, but it is by far more important to “seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” It’s always true, God loves you.
