[01] DAKE ANNOTATED REFERENCE BIBLE This is the ultimate study bible for general use. Everything in this book is made very clear and is very easy to understand. The Dake Bible is available in Standard, Large print, and Compact editions, although I find the Large print and Compact editions are more easy to read. Also recommended is the book God's Plan For Man. [02] THE COMPANION BIBLE The Companion Bible by E.W Bullinger is also a very advanced Study Bible that gets straight to the point and leaves no stone unturned.
