I use it as my primary source for memorizing Bible verses. I've done this for years, ever since 1968, when I was saved. The churches I have gone to have mostly all used it to preach from, including the church I go to now. I just love it! I have marked my King James Bibles profusely so at least I know the verses I memorized in the past.  

I love the poetic way it sounds as well To get a great sampling of what the KJV is, listen to it as Esther Mui sings it. Here are some of her titles:
