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.

A decent guide, but I wanted more from it. Perhaps this is because I've already studied both of these Books in depth. It's also clear this is one of the earlier guides in the series; the strength in cross-references was not on par with later entries.

3.5 rounded up.
I've done several of these studies and this was my least favorite. It felt very surface-level compared to the other studies.

This is one of a large series. The goal is to walk students through a book of the Bible using the inductive method; looking how words are used, and asking the questions who, what, where, why, and how. I highly recommend this type of learning for visual learners. I have completed several of these studies and even done a few of them more than one time. I learn and am reminded of how great our God is each time.

Kay Arthur, I appreciate your role in this world, but we weren't meant to be girlfriends. Thanks for writing this book, but I need a bible study that doesn't involve a school supply list. Catch ya on the flip side.

well... Kay is not for everyone. While I appreciate her precepts method, it doesnt work for my Bible Study/Quiet time. The book however was a good way to go through Galatians and Ephesians. But she is one that you will either love her methods or hate them.
