Teach Me How to Live

by Kay Arthur

So you've heard about the Milkman always ringing twice? But what you don't know is that once he's done ringing he'll kick your door in, wake your Nan and smash that nice vase on the stand by the door. But if you think that's tough, wait till you meet our Milkman.

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.

read from May 2009 - April 2010

Even though it's 30 years old, it's still applicable for today (expect for that part where she suspects Jesus will return before the year 2000.... doh!) Arther's exhortations are spot on & challenging for believers. So now I'm off, reading another one of her yearly devotionals.

this is a daily devotional, not too bad, some repetitious thought, yet sometimes inspiring...

One of my favorites. Currently out of print, My copyis nearly 30 years old. I have read it so many times the binding is falling apart. This is a devotional gem!
