ANSWERS TO OUR CHRISTMAS BRAIN TEASER Did you find the 20 books of the Bible in the following paragraphs? 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 others, it was a revelation. Some got in a jam especially since the names of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers o readers. To others, it was a real job. We want this challenge to bite into your thinking in a most fascinating way for a few moments. Yes there will be some really easy ones to spot. Several can appear from answering some questions. Others may require judges to help them to be found. I will quickly admit it usually takes an ecclesiastes to find almost all of them, and there will be loud lamentations heard if less than 10 are uncovered. Are you among those about to quit? A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for there really are twenty names of the books of The Holy Bible in this story. CHRISTMAS CAROL RIDDLE ANSWERS 1. Silver Bells – 2. Joy to the World – 3. What Child is This – 4.
