Given all of the seriousness around us, we could all use a fun challenge! I’ve put together a word search containing all the books of the Bible. I listed the generic title for those with more than one book; for example, I and II Kings are “Kings,” and The Gospel of John, as well as the letters John I, II, and III, are “John.” As a result, there are 56 books to look for rather than the 66 in the Bible. I have listed an alphabetical key below, followed by two bonus questions for you overachievers.
Print this post out, take a break, and have some fun!

Bonus Questions (answers in footnotes below):
What two letters in the English language are not represented in the names of the books of the Bible?
Write out the books in their Biblical order and see how many of the 66 books you can get. (If you get 1/3, you win. 2/3 you are a Bible scholar. 3/3 you are amazing!)
