by Kay Arthur, Janna Arndt

Based on Kay Arthur’s bestselling How to Study Your Bible (390,000 copies sold), this easy–to–use Bible study combines a serious commitment to God’s Word with fun illustrations, games, puzzles, and activities that reinforce biblical truth. How to Study Your Bible for Kids introduces the basics of inductive Bible study―observation, interpretation, and application―to children ages 9 to 12. As they learn about the people in the Bible, the way things were done in biblical times, the amazing miracles performed, and numerous terrific adventures found in the Bible, young people will discover that God’s Word speaks to them right where they’re at. They’ll come away from this study with a deeper understanding of God’s love and care for them.

About the author

Kay Lee Arthur was an American Christian author, Bible teacher, and co-founder of Precept Ministries International. Renowned for her accessible and inductive approach to Bible study, she helped millions engage deeply with Scripture. Arthur began her ministry informally, teaching teenagers in her living room alongside her second husband, Jack Arthur. Their work soon grew into a global outreach, headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, under the name Precept Ministries International. She hosted the daily Bible teaching program Precepts for Life and became a respected voice in evangelical circles. Arthur authored numerous books and was a four-time winner of the ECPA Christian Book Award for titles such as A Marriage Without Regrets and The New Inductive Study Bible. Her ministry was rooted in a personal reawakening to faith in the early 1960s, following a divorce and a return to religious life. She and Jack also served briefly as missionaries in Mexico before founding their ministry. Arthur remained active in public faith-based initiatives into her later years and was known for her firm stances on social issues. She passed away on 2025 leaving behind a lasting legacy in Christian education and publishing.

As 4th grader I think it was a great Bible study!😊

[Michelle Brock · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good book, and generally useful for children. The content presents good Bible study habits/ actions in language children can understand. It uses Scripture to walk children through the process of active Bible study. (Bible study methods that include Bible study. Excellent!) It does have puzzles, which seem a little like busywork but are apparently intended to keep children's attention as they read. Unless you're trying to draw out the material to fit a schedule, the puzzles really work best as optional parts to an otherwise excellent book. (I looked at another one of the children's Bible study books in this series, and it seemed to have a lot more busywork than I liked. Maybe some are better than this one, but this particular book had great value.)
