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.

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.

2.5 stars, rounded up

Significant pacing issues with this guide; some passages were almost entirely skipped

[Rebecca Ray · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an average resource. It's a little spare on details and instructions if you're wanting to make a full Bible study on the text, but it's great for discovering key ideas, words and themes. It's a good introduction to study.

How to rate this book? By the lessons or by the book of Corinthians? I enjoyed this study less than Walking in Power, Love, and Discipline, Kay Arthurs study of 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus, but maybe because I enjoyed those books more. Corinth was a troubled church struggling to do right in a decadent city. Paul was often angry and disappointed with his children there. But as Paul points out in the famous love chapter, "love is patient" and "endures all things."
