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.

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. She passed away on 2025 leaving behind a lasting legacy in Christian education and publishing.

Reviews

[Carol Russell]

This was a great biblical study in preparation for our Journey in the Footsteps of Paul in Greece.

[Rodney Harvill]

Jesus had commanded His apostles to be His "witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1:8). This study covers chapters 13 through 28 of Acts, which describe Paul's missionary journeys, the Jerusalem conference and Paul's imprisonment and transport to Rome. In other words, this section of Acts describes part of the church's effort to be Christ's witnesses to the remotest part of the earth. In just a few years, churches with staying power were planted in Galatia, Asia, Macedonia and Achaea by Paul, and he even was a witness in Rome. The book of Acts ends with Paul under house arrest in Rome, but the good news of Jesus Christ was not chained. It is never chained and never will be.
