Can you find 22 books of the Bible in this story?

Someone showed me this story and remarked that there are twenty-two 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 me looking so hard for the longest time. Some of you will get bogged down with facts; others are hit by them like they are some kind of revelation or something. You may get in a jam, especially since the names are not capitalized and often leap the spaces between the words. This makes it a real job to find them, but it’ll provide a most fascinating few minutes for you. Yes, there are some really easy ones to spot, but don't get the big head. Truthfully, you'll soon figure that it would take most federal judges and preachers numbers of hours to find them all. I will admit that it usually takes a minister to find one of them; and it's not uncommon for there to be loud lamentations when it is pointed out. My friend Joe liked it so much he shared it with John and an old hag, Gail says that when she is confronted with puzzles like this, she brews a cup of tea to help her concentrate better. But then, this gal's a real pro. Verbs, nouns, and all that stuff are her thing. See how well you can compete. Relax; there are really twenty-two names of Bible books in this story. If you fail to find them, there's a penalty. You'll have to go fly a kite, sit on a banana, hum the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" or hose a dog. So get to it.
