Anna Hunter returned from a mission trip to Milwaukee and shared this brain teaser. See how long it takes you to solve…

“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 other 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 readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a 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. One little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there are really sixteen names of books of the Bible in this story.”
