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.

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.

2.5 stars, rounded up

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

[Rebecca Ray]

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.

I was going to put this book at four stars until I got to the section on 2 Corinthians. I didn’t think she was as organized through that part of the book.

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."
