Watchman’s adventure: memorize the names of 66 books in the Bible (the lighter Asian way)

The class asked the watchman for tips to memorize the names of the 66 books in the Bible. So the watchman woke one day hearing all the sounds in the oriental way. The following is strictly meant for those who desperately need creative help to visualize words. (You will find sounds like Asian names. Indeed there is a story in these sounds!) However, the best way is still to keep reading the Bible until you know all the books inside out.


Old Testament Books


Gen Ex Le Num De (a Gen-X Asian man named ‘Li Num-De’)

Jos Jud Ru Sam Sam (making a watery dessert ‘Jud Ru’, which is the same as a popular green asian jelly ‘chendol’)

Kin Kin Chron Chron Ez N Es (making a lot of sound in vain; so he has to SMS his friends to come to his aid)

Job Psalm Pro Eccl Song (2 men came : “Jackson Po’ and ‘Edgar Song’)

Isa J Lam Eze Dan (another 3 men came : “Isa’ , ‘J Lam’ and ‘Easy Dan’)

Ho Joe Amo O (his son ‘Ho Joe’ and daughter in law ‘Amo O’ also helped)

Jon Mi Na Hab Zeph (his friendly neighbor ‘Jominah Haja’ helped)

Ha Zech Ma (another Japanese friend ‘Hajima’ also helped)

(Together they worked as a team and finally produced the delicious dessert ‘Jud-Ru’ which all enjoyed eating!)



New Testaments Books


Ma Ma Luk John ( a man named John was to make marmalade)

A Ro Cor Cor (they are cocoa flavored)

Gal Eph Phili Co (he asked his little boy ‘Phili Co’ to get up to help)

Thess Thess Tim Tim Ti Phile He (to taste the sweet stuff; also asking his little girl ‘Phile He’ to taste)

Jam Pet Pet 123 John Jud R (finally he finished and packed the jam and his children cheered him on)

(They worked as a happy family and lived happily ever after enjoying the delicious jam.)
