Can you find 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph?

The paragraph below contains a hidden books of the Bible. See if you can find 30 books!

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. Elanie 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 something in our genes

is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this

paragraph. During a recent fundraising 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 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 those who have to be shown. One revelation at 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.

God Bless!

(I cannot for the life of me remember where I found this originally – but found it in onenote when I was organising and sorting out the pages)

Don’t list the books you find, just leave a comment saying how many you can see – I’m up to 28 now – the last 2 are being rather elusive.

I found the  last 2 🙂
