Bible Book Data

If you have a string that starts with the name of a book in the bible then this code will pick it up and convert it to a recognisable osis Name / book and is tolerant to some mispellings e.g:

Gen.1.1 -> Gen
Genesis -> Gen
Genessis -> Gen

Also lists of bible books can be obtained and book names can be converted into plain english or 3 digit book codes e.g:

Gen -> Genesis
Gen -> GEN

It provides a layer that can sit before tools like bible-passage-reference-parser to increase it's tolerance to mispellings and different input formats.
