This blog entry came from this bookmark that I saw at Lifeway, which I took a picture of, shown above with the typed out list. It breaks down the Book of the Bible to what topic they are. I figured I would share this with my readers. (Subscribe to my blog; I plan to post the ones for the New Testament!) There are 39 Books in the Old Testament. While the bookmark only list 22 of the 39. The Bible has a total of 66 Books (in the Old and New Testament). Mose wrote most of the Old Testament. He wrote the first 5 Books of the Old Testament. That is referred to as the Pentateuch. Rest of the Books of the Old Testament. I am sure that some of these below will fit into one or more of the above topics. Most of these below show an account of history as well.

• Isaiah
• Jeremiah
• Lamentations
• Daniel
• Hosea
• Joel
• Amos
• Obadiah
• Jonah
• Micah
• Nahum
• Habakkuk
• Zephaniah
• Haggai
• Zechariah
• Malachi
