How many books are in the Bible?
Your answer_____________________.  |

|
There is an easy way to remember. How many letters are in the word, old? |
|
|
3 |
|
|
How many letters are in the word, Testament? |
|
|
9 |
|
|
Put the numbers 3 and 9 next to each other and you get? |
|
|
Right, there are 39 books in the Old Testament. |
|
|
Well, how many are in the New Testament? |
|
|
Okay, how many letters in the word, new? |
|
|
3 – isn't this the same thing all over again? |
|
|
Just wait. How many letters in the word testament? |
|
|
9 |
|
|
Now, if you know your multiplication tables, multiply 3x9. 
If you don't, ask someone to help you. |
|
|
OK, the answer is 27.  |
|
|
That's right, Shep. So there are 27 books in the New Testament. |
|
|
 So, if I want to know how many are in the whole Bible I add 39 and 27 together and get 66 books in the whole Bible. |
|
|
Right! |
|
|
Make sure you read something everyday from the Bible. |
|
|
This is a good time to be reading some of the Psalms of praises. |
|
|
Read Psalm 100. |
|
|
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.  |
|
|
And a great Bible week. |
