Very Large Book, Dake Annotated Reference Bible-KJV-Large Print
I thoroughly enjoyed my Dakes KJV regular size over the past 25 years, however the print is very small and difficult for me to read now. The large print edition Dakes KJV Bible is great. The new 3 column size works well with all of the notes that come packed in the book, however it makes for a very large book. I tried several XXL Bible covers made of nylon, however they did not fit. I ended up getting the Dakes vinyl book cover made specifically for the large print bible, the fit is perfect
Best Bible.
This bible will be treasued. It is the best bible we have ever owned! It is the large print edition and has 3 columns per page. We bought a Dakes 25 years ago but the print was way too small for us now and was worn out. Highly recommend this bible!
Best study Bible ever!
This is, bar none, the best study Bible, I've ever encountered. Used the world over, by ministries where you really see God's presence, grace, power, and glory in action. If you want to be on fire for the Lord, and grow ever-increasingly closer to Him, this is a wonderful Bible to learn from! This Bible is a pure joy to read, more than any other study Bible I've used. Make sure to have a few bookmarks and a note pad handy. You will find yourself blissfully digging, and digging, (and making notes), and digging some more. It's a gold mine of information, interesting facts, linked data, history, etc. It is truly FUN to read and study. Even if you're of a non-Charismatic belief system, the big majority of the notes and commentaries would still apply to you! All "hot" denominations, whether Baptist, Assemblies of God, Full Gospel, etc. will be blessed, encouraged, educated and edified by this Bible. I purchased the large text, large notes, genuine leather Bible. It is just beautiful and will be used and cherished for many years to come. This version, (ISBN-13: 978-1558291225 / ISBN-10: 1558291229) is huge. All the text is easy to read. I bought 2 extra Dake Bibles for Christmas presents this year. I just wish Dake or someone else, would make a semi-stiff leather case, or well made high denier nylon one, which would fit this Bible. I've only been able to find cheap looking vinyl ones, which will no doubt wear out quickly. This very large version is not the one you take to church, this is mostly for study. Get a smaller sized Dake for toting around. P.S. If you're a person who attends a "dull" church, and/or you feel unfulfilled, unsatisfied, unsaved, lost, confused, and a 100 miles from God - reading this Bible and it's wonderful commentary and study notes, would be a big help. Don't let the fact it's a King James scare you. Any words or expressions, which may be hard at first, are lovingly explained. You will be guided from subject to subject, and reading to reading. Just ask God to help you understand, and He will. If you've never really read a Bible, look in the back in the "concordance" (a list of words in the Bible and where they're located) and pick a word or topic, and go exploring! You may be seeking God, and not know how to find Him. You may not even know Him yet, but HE knows YOU. Did you know that even the hairs on your head are numbered?! (Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.) Seek Him and you shall find Him. You need to be saved, by trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ. You can learn about this in the Bible, and from many good websites. I pray you will be blessed! Glory to God in the Highest!
Thee ABSOLUTE MUST tool to have in your Library
Very pleased with the Dakes. I lent it to a friend 20+ years ago, and now since I’m reunited with this purchase I can’t explain the anger of not having it these many years lol and the joy of the info and insight I’ve obtained in this short amount of time of having it again. It’s a absolute great investment in your spiritual growth. It’s very large and very heavy to carry around everyday. This tool is rich in info, quality is good, and because I’m over 50 I love the large print. A exceptional study tool, Reference, Notes, and very good Hebrew & Greek dictionary.. A integral part of Spiritual growth .. Be Well
Praise Him
It is Wonderful, Beautiful You Can Be the Best Scholar Ever With This Dake Reference Bible Totally Awesome. Of Course That's Who God Is Awesomely.
It’s big and heavy so it’s not something you’d want to carry around but keep at home but worth it
I’ve been wanting a Dakes Annontated Reference Bible for awhile and finally have one. I’m pleased with it. I like that it’s large print but it is big and heavy so I won’t be carrying it around with me to other places besides home. I love that you can read it and then scroll down to the bottom or to the sides of the pages and look at the references, it opens everything up more, helps you get a better understanding of what you’ve read. I wish it was less heavy and a little smaller to make it more easier to carry but all in all, well worth what I paid.
Great for study
Book is packaged very well for shipment, no damage. Comes in an outside regular corrugated box, and inside, the box pictured. Book is wrapped in plastic inside pictured box. Lies flat on spine when open. Lots of info on each scripture, great for study. I got the large print, which makes for a heavier book. The smaller print may be too small for a lot of people.
Excellent study bible! Well worth the money!
I absolutely love this bible and all the notes/explanations of the scriptures in every chapter as well as all the cross references to expound more on what you are reading. I paid extra for the large print and it’s worth it!
The Life Works of Mr. Finis Jennings Dake
I stumbled over this Bible while looking for a Thompson Chain Reference, which is apparently no longer in print from the original publishers. I had never before heard of Dake and was curious so I ordered the original hardback version of the KJV translation but found the font just a bit too small for my 60 year old eyes. So after seeing reviews of the large print, I ordered. The font is a bit bigger but I do still need to use a magnifier for comfortable reading during long periods of study. This Bible is huge and heavy. Not the kind to be carried off to church but for a desk Bible, it will serve the purpose. I do highlight, underline, and make my own notes in my Bibles. The paper of this one is thin and the highlights do bleed through as does the pen. Not something I actually mind but some might find this a problem. Normally, I prefer a more modern translation than the KJV but when I discovered that the KJV I've had since 1985 had somehow gotten wet and mildewed, I decided it was time for a new one. The extensive notes done by Mr. Dake are almost overwhelming but I appreciate having them. I did have to watch some videos to learn how to use the notes and follow the references but once I saw it in action, it was pretty easy to use. Although, a word of warning. The man held to some beliefs that some might find disagreeable and those beliefs are reflected in his work. So I would not recommend this Bible to a brand new Christian. Utilizing Mr. Dake's notes requires prior knowledge of scripture as well as practiced discernment. Remember, this is one man's view of the entire Bible. Do your own research and study then decide for yourself what to believe. Still, it's like getting your hands on his personal Bible and a lifetime of notebooks. There are many well known and some not so well known Christians whose personal Bible and notes I would love to see like this.
Great buy
Wow, I really love the large print!!
