Book Description

Publication Date: July 17, 2001

Kay Arthur’s Newest “Lord” Book Examines The
Anatomy Of A Heart for God Through Paul’s Eyes.

Throughout his ministry the Apostle Paul was criticized, opposed, and attacked. He wrestled with his weaknesses. He struggled with fragile relationships. He was often weary, tired, and discouraged.
Kay Arthur knows there are times when you can identify with Paul's experience. You feel overwhelmed by conflicts without and fears within. You yearn to experience the God of wisdom and power. You, like Paul, want deeply to be a person whose sole passion is to please God.
In this study based on 2 Corinthians, Kay examines the anatomy of a heart for God. What it looks like. What it feels like. And how you can strengthen your own relationship with God.
Despite the deep physical, emotional, and spiritual pain of life, Paul could rest in the God of all comfort and strength. He could walk in obedience to his calling. He could fight the good fight, finish his race, and keep the faith.
And now, through this compelling, insightful, and moving Bible study, so can you.

“What does a heart for God look like when lived out in flesh and blood in the daily circumstances of life? As we walk together through 2 Corinthians, Acts, and other portions of Scripture, we'll begin to understand what it's like to have a heart like His.” –Kay Arthur

THE “LORD” SERIES by Kay Arthur is an insightful, warm-hearted Bible study series designed to meet you where you are–and help you discover God’s answers to your deepest needs.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Widely regarded as the "precept upon precept" Bible instructor, Arthur (Search My Heart, O God; Our Covenant God) scores again with this long-awaited study of 2 Corinthians. Arthur utilizes her inductive Bible study skills to dissect the famous letter, offering a fuller understanding of the apostle Paul's ardor for God and for the church in Corinth. Studying Bible chapters with Arthur is no passive experience; she gives explicit instructions on how readers should mark their Bibles with color-coded figures and underline key words to assist in quicker assessment of biblical principles. Arthur effectively connects readers to the Corinthian church, comparing the Corinthians' struggles with modern-day trials. Readers will discover that the biblical characters faced similar afflictions and interpersonal conflicts and fought against familiar weaknesses. In particular, the church in Corinth was well-known for its "carnality," which Paul admonished church members to renounce in order to seek the holiness of God. Arthur's study is designed for individuals or Bible study groups to use over an eight-week period. Each chapter includes a five-day study guide, memory verse(s), small-group discussion starters and personal application questions. Arthur's study on Paul is passionately presented, and her approach to painful life issues will prod many readers toward constructive change. (July)Forecast: Arthur's fans have been waiting for several years for this book in the "Lord" series, whose seven installments have sold over two million copies. WaterBrook (an autonomous division of Random House serving the Christian market) has purchased the rights to all of the previous "Lord" books and plans to release several more. This well-established Bible study brand should continue to thrive in the CBA market.
