30 Books of the Bible

There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph Can you find them?
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...
