Lemme give it a try!

(begin game)
| I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu,
kept

Mark, Luke

| people looking so hard for facts…and for others it was a revelation. Some
were

Kings, Acts, Revelation

| in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized.
But

James

| the truth finally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others, it
was a

Ruth, Numbers

| real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes,
there

Job, Amos, Esther

| will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help
them.

Judges

| I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and

Titus

| there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she
brews

Lamentations, Hebrews

| a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you compete.
Relax

Peter

| now, for there really are sixteen names of books of the Bible in this
| paragraph.
