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.

[Kristina · Rating 2 out of 5]

This felt like it was written by a different team, as the strengths of this series were missing. I felt this was gratuitous and did not add anything to the reading of Proverbs. Perhaps if you're new to this series or the inductive study method, you'd get more out of it. I found myself skimming by the halfway point.

I've always found the book of Proverbs to be hard to study since there seem to be so many themes scattered throughout. I appreciate how the inductive Bible study method forces you to slow down and notice repeated words and phrases, and make lists of recurring themes, helping you to keep your focus. Yes, it can seem tedious at times, but I am sure I have never read Proverbs this carefully before!

I like her studies. Wish there was more reflection from the author.
