The writings of Finis Jennings Dake have literally circled the world. His books: God’s Plan for Man and  Revelation Expounded have become standard reference works for Bible believers everywhere. It was Charisma and Christian Life Magazine that called his monumental work: Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible, “The Pentecostal Study Bible.” And yet, while Christians everywhere enjoy his writings, benefiting from his simple and literal approach to the Word of God, little is known about the man himself. That is until now!…

Description: In this factual and moving account of Dake’s life story, author Leon Bible walks us through the life of a man whose writings have brought tremendous impact to the church world of our day. You will read of Dake’s:

• Desire to be a “cowboy actor” and riding the range.
• Brief stint as a hobo.
• Conversion to Christ.
• Reception of the gift of the Scriptures in his life.
• Bible school days as a student and as a Professor.
• Two week courtship and marriage to his beloved Dorothy lasting over 60 years.
• Affect of Alexander Dowie’s ministry on his life.
• Trials and confrontations faced for believing the Word.
• Ability to quote from any chapter and verse in the Bible.
• Founding of Dake Publishing.
