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.
I loved all of the stories that the ladies shared. But I have a favorite story, one that spoke to my heart the most and it is called, "My Friend the Atheist." We all have someone in our lives who is an unbeliever and God can use you to be a witness. Witnessing is not just about presenting them the Gospel, it is about living the Gospel. Walk what you talk, live what you believe. Show people all around you, believer and unbeliever, that you live and believe for Jesus Christ.
I really enjoy this devotional. Most don't appeal to me as they seem to have been written in a hurry. But, this devotional seems quite thoughtfully put together. It helps me examine myself and I appreciate that.
