There are 16 books of the Bible hidden in the following story. Can you find them all? How long did it take you?

Once I made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu! It kept people looking so hard for facts. For others, it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are sixteen names of books in the Bible in this little story.
A preacher found 15 books in 20 minutes, but it took him 3 weeks to find the 16th one. See how well you can do!
(Hint: in the first line- "re-Mark;"” 15 to go!)

This is a puzzle. Thanks for the opportunity. I think I've worked on too many puzzles today to give this a fair try.
Thanks for your continuing ministry, here, Doug. You're an inspiration to many.
i found 14 books in 20 minutes. . i can't find the other 2. . . my eyes are getting bleary.
13 in 8 minutes...not bad...time for bed!
Found 15 of them but can't find the 16th! Where is it! :(
So for all of you killing yourself trying to find that last one (I never found it either- I was hoping you'd do it for me!) . . . here's an interesting tidbit:
Dave MacKay searched the web for this puzzle and discovered that the guy who created it said whoever copied and distributed it, made a mistake. The 2nd sentence should be "It was a fluke!" Not "It was a lulu!" as seen here.
Therefore, the 16th book is "fLUKE."
