found this recently and it stumped me. Basically, in the following story are 20 Books of the Bible. I found 19 of them. It's been over a day now and I can't find the 20th. Help!!! (btw, sorry that it's in caps, but it is a game) Oh, and if you get the answer, don't necessarily post it as others might be playing too. However, if you find all 20, maybe you could PM me or something.

SOMEONE SHOWED ME THIS STORY AND RE-
MARKED THAT THERE ARE TWENTY BOOKS OF THE
BIBLE HIDDEN HERE. HE CHALLENGED ME TO FIND
THEM. SURE ENOUGH THEY’RE ALL HERE. STILL
THIS THING’S A LULU, KEPT PEOPLE LOOKING SO
LONG THEY GREW WEARY. SOME OF YOU WILL GET
BOGGED DOWN WITH FACTS. OTHERS ARE HIT BY
THEM LIKE THEY ARE SOME KIND OF REVELATION
OR SOMETHING. SOME MAY GET INTO A JAM, ESPE-
CIALLY SINCE THE WORDS OF THE RIDDLE ARE
ALL CAPITALIZED. BUT THE TRUTH FINALLY STRUCK
HOME TO NUMBERS OF READERS. FOR OTHERS IT
WAS A REAL JOB TO FIND THEM. BUT WE WANT IT
TO BE A MOST FASCINATING FEW MINUTES FOR
YOU. YES, THERE ARE SOME REALLY EASY ONES
TO SPOT. OTHERS MAY REQUIRE CAPABLE JUDGES
TO HELP THEM.

I WILL QUICKLY ADMIT, IT USUALLY TAKES A
PREACHER TO FIND ONE OF THEM AND THERE WILL
BE LOUD LAMENTATIONS WHEN IT IS FOUND. ONE
LADY SAYS SHE BREWS A CUP OF HERBAL TEA TO
HELP HER CONCENTRATE BETTER. BUT THEN SHE’S
A REAL PRO. VERBS AND NOUNS COME EASY TO
HER. NOW LET’S SEE IF YOU CAN COMPETE. RE-
LAX! THERE REALLY ARE TWENTY NAMES OF THE
BIBLE IN THIS STORY. WHILE I’M WAITING FOR YOU
TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE, I THINK I’LL HAVE A PIECE
OF PIE—BANANA, HUM THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE
REPUBLIC, AND HOSE A SIDE WALK OFF FOR MY
NEIGHBOR.

I got 19. Quite possible the wording may be incorrect.

Ok, I've been working with RightIdea on this game and I think that together, we just came up with the 20th name. Smacked me right upside the head it did.

Do you all want me to post the answer here, like within a day or so? Or just leave everyone hanging?

OK, the answer has finally been posted. Those of you who played the game will be thoroughly upset as to why you missed the 20th name. I know I was.

Please turn to page four of the following web based PDF for the answers.

For a bunch of hardcore KJVO'ers interesting they would rename Ecclesiastes to Preacher :shifty:

Interesting point, but I do not believe that they are KJVO'ers as they do study Greek.

And from my experience, those who are KJVO believe the King James is the superior translation.

But hey, there's different strains in every group, right?
