"Precepts for Life" study guides & audio resources

"Precepts for Life" (PFL) is an ever-expanding series of both book-based and topical Bible study programmes, which are broadcast daily (Mondays to Fridays) on TV, radio and the internet. The audio files of these 25 minute-long programmes are available for free download via the internet, as are the Study Guides that accompany many of the PFL study series. For further information on how to watch/listen to the broadcasts and/or to retrieve the free files from the internet, click here.

We are really keen that this wonderful resource for daily teaching and encouragement should become widely known and available to folk living in Scotland so, for convenience, a selection of the programme series already aired to date is listed below. Whilst these talks are ideal for personal study, they have also proved to be tremendously effective tools for group study (and, of course, only one set of CDs is required for group study).

In addition (especially for those of us who are not internet 'geeks'!) we are pleased to be able to offer, at prices that just cover our production costs:

  • CDs containing the audio recordings of the various PFL programme series (in either MP3 or CD audio (CDA) format).
  • Loose-leaf copies of the associated PFL Study Guides (many including Observation Work Sheets, i.e. sheets containing the relevant Bible texts, and other 'helps' such as maps, etc).

Please note that we will supply these study materials ONLY to addressees living in Scotland.

[Important technical note: MP3 is a compressed audio format, which means that a large number of the 25 minute talks can be fitted onto just one CD disc - but, before ordering, do please ensure that you have the means to listen to MP3 CDs! MP3 compatible players include iPods, most modern CD players, and computer-based players (such as Windows Media Player). If you intend to listen to the talks on an older CD player, then you will need to order CDs recorded in CDA format - but, do bear in mind that only three 25 minute programmes recorded in CDA format can be fitted onto a single CD disc, and thus rather more discs are required by comparison with the same number of programmes recorded in MP3 format. If you require any advice, please do contact us before ordering.]

Isaiah Part 1 (Chapters 1-39) - Judgment - But Hope
(70 programmes)

by Kay Arthur
Isaiah Part 1 - Judgment - But Hope
Introductory message from Kay: "Beloved, do you long for true joy in your life? Do you feel like your life has no value – that you are just a number? Do you believe the darkness of your past – your sins, your failures, even your shortcomings – have made you useless to God? Unredeemable? Maybe you are a believer who has been convinced by the enemy that you could never really serve God. You believe you are ungifted and too untalented to possibly be needed in the church. Just as the author of Ephesians prayed, I am praying for you that God will open the eyes of your heart so that you 'may know what is the hope of His calling' on your life. What a pleasure it is to share this special series with you and to join with you in this amazing discovery of truth."

Jeremiah Part 1 (Chapters 1-24) - Return to Me
(45 programmes)

by Kay Arthur
Jeremiah Part 1 - Return to Me
Introductory message from Kay: "Fellow believer, do you know who Jeremiah was? Do you have any idea what obstacles this prophet faced in a nation about to be swept away by God’s righteous judgment? And what his spiritual-life experiences can mean for your life? If not, you’re in for quite an adventure. You see, Israel’s spiritual condition back then was much like our nation’s is today. Prophet, priest, and king had all turned away from the Living God. They abandoned the faith of their father Abraham and the Law of Moses. They broke God’s covenant and went 'whoring' after other gods. As Jeremiah opens up we see two signal events: God’s call of Jeremiah and Israel at the crossroads of life and death. Babylon’s horses and riders are on the way! I know you realise how 'real' this situation is today and so how applicable this book is going to be for you. God knew how widespread and tough the opposition was and so He promised to make Jeremiah 'a fortified city and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze against the whole land...the kings of Judah...its princes...its priests and...the people' (1:18). And He promised too (I love this one!) 'They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you' (v. 19). We’re not only outnumbered today, beloved; we’re also outranked. Spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies always descends to earth but it has lately settled on some of our nation’s highest leaders who defy the Lord and defile His holy covenants of life and marriage. God will not tolerate this for long! We’re weakening against strong nations. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to share life-changing precepts with you. Among other things you’re going to get a whole new perspective on perseverance, a vision of what you can be in the Lord when the going gets really tough!"

Daniel (Chapters 1-12) - Dare to Be God's Messenger
(50 programmes)

by Kay Arthur
Daniel - Dare to Be God's Messenger
Introductory message from Kay: "Beloved, what a joy it is to share this series with you...so that you might begin to have an understanding of the times we live in through this wonderful book of prophecy...and so that you might 'dare to be a Daniel' - a man or woman after God’s own heart! We are so excited you want to study God’s precepts for life with us in this series on Daniel! This book is God’s blueprint for prophecy! You’ll see how Daniel was a man who knew the Word of God, and the God of the Word. Can you live as a Daniel in these critical days? How can you get to know the Most High God as Daniel did? You’ll see for yourself as we walk through this fascinating book verse by verse. Beloved, you couldn’t have chosen to do a better thing than to sit at Jesus’ feet, listening to His every word. God’s Word, the Bible, has the answer for every situation you’ll face in your life. Listen to what God is saying in Daniel - and to you - and you’ll find yourself face-to-face with the Truth, Truth that can transform your life!"

Matthew - The King, His Kingdom and Me
Introductory message from Kay: "Fellow believer, do you want to learn enough about Jesus' connection to the Old Testament to become confident enough to share Him with others? Then this study of Matthew's Gospel is just for you! Matthew begins with Jesus' humble birth as son of David, son of Abraham (1:1) and ends with His universal authority over heaven and earth, His commission to His followers to make and teach disciples of all nations, and His promise to be with them always, to the end of the age (28:18-20). This will truly be an adventure! You'll learn how Jesus fulfils prophecy - Matthew's Gospel is loaded with Old Testament citations that focus on God's original purpose for the Jew to be 'a light to the Gentiles that [they] may bring salvation to the end of the earth' (Acts 13:47, Isaiah 42:6, 49:6). And you'll see Israel like you've never seen it before - places where Jesus preached, taught, prayed, and suffered. Biblical history and the holy land will come alive together!"

Romans (Chapters 1-5) - The Constitution of Your Faith
(22 programmes)

by Kay Arthur
Romans - The Constitution of Your Faith
Introductory message from Kay: "Did you know that the book of Romans powerfully changed the life of Martin Luther and many others? Do you know why? Here are some questions that will hint at the answer: • Did you know that God reveals Himself to everyone? He demonstrates His attributes to each person so thoroughly that all are without excuse? • Did you know that you can be set free from slavery to sin and be justified completely by faith in Jesus' blood alone? • Did you know that when you put faith in Christ's dying on the cross for you (known as the atonement), God sends His Holy Spirit of power to free you from the habit of sin and start up a whole new pattern of living? When you discover these things for yourself in this study of Romans, you'll know why we titled it 'The Constitution of Your Faith'. Every significant truth about God (His character and works), man's fallen condition, and God's redemption is covered in it. These precious and practical truths will revolutionise your life, just as they did the life of Luther! When you're done, like Paul, you'll want to be set apart for the gospel of God. How exciting is that!!"

Revelation (Chapters 1-3) - God's Message to the Church
(15 programmes)

by Kay Arthur
Revelation - God's Message to the Church
Introductory message from Kay: "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near (Revelation 1:3). I am so excited that you want to study God’s precepts for life with us in the book of Revelation! We’re going to look at God’s message to seven very interesting churches that existed in the time when John sat down on the Isle of Patmos and was told to write what he saw. We’re going to look at this wonderful book and see what God said to those churches through Jesus Christ. And do you know what? When we get those messages, we’re going to understand what He’s saying to the Church today, and to you and to me personally. You couldn’t have chosen to do a better thing, Beloved, than to sit at Jesus’ feet, listening to His every word - something that will not be taken away from you. God’s Word, the Bible, has an answer for every situation of life. If you listen to what God is saying to the churches of Revelation - and to you - you’ll find yourself face-to-face with the Truth, and that Truth will surely bring transformation in your life!"

Life in the Spirit
Introductory message from Kay: "Fellow Believer, do you know what life in the Spirit is? And what it means for your life? Do you have any idea how much power the Father gifted you in His plan to conform you to the image of His perfect Son - Man as he’s supposed to be!? Do you know exactly what happened when God raised you from your isolated death-march in sin to a new life of grace and community? Maybe you’ve never comprehended the full scope of the Spirit’s work in salvation - His leading, His filling, His wisdom and counsel, His advocacy and intercession, His righteousness, peace, joy, and comfort, His fruit, His power to sanctify - subdue and conquer the flesh, that self-centered power principle in all of us. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to share these life-changing precepts with you. You’re going to get a new vision and fresh appreciation for the Spirit’s life and work within you as we discover together the precious truths of God’s Word, God’s way!"

Living for God's Glory (15 programmes)
by Kay Arthur
Living for God's Glory
Introductory message from Kay: "Beloved, the ball’s in our court either our nation lives for God’s Glory, or that Glory will depart as it did in Israel! It already shows signs of waning in our country. We’ve lost our fear of God as we’ve forgotten Him and distorted His Word. We no longer know Him as He really is, according to the truth He recorded for us. We’ve exchanged His glory for things that don’t profit, truth for lies. We’ve become a nation that fears and worships man. But the Creator-Redeemer does not share the glory that belongs only to Him. And when God’s glory departs, when His sovereign hand of protection is removed, we’re open to war and captivity from without and anarchy within. No empire in history has ever survived this loss the very seam of civilised society rips apart when truth, right, and good leave together! God’s chosen nation itself was thrust into captivity; first the Assyrians captured and removed Israel (the people of the Northern kingdom), then the Babylonians did the same to Judah (the people of the Southern Kingdom). Judah was held hostage in a foreign nation for 70 years! Long before these transplantings, God’s prophets were warning that they would happen. What can we do to stop the epitaph 'Ichabod' (literally 'no glory') from being written on our personal and national headstones? Much! We need to return to God’s glory and live in it! God commanded us to glorify Him in our bodies, which belong to Him because He purchased them with the blood of His Son. The world needs to see the difference Jesus Christ makes in those who believe this Gospel. The way we live reflects what we believe. If you truly believe, you’ll seek to live a life pleasing to God by walking in His Spirit. This is how we win the battle over the flesh and radiate the image of Christ, the glory of God, to the world. When that happens, people, institutions, and whole nations are saved. They return to God’s glory by turning to Christ. It’s not an easy life. The life Jesus lived and the path He took were tough a life of suffering and a path of persecution. But with His victorious example and God’s Spirit we can win each battle and ultimately the war. Are you ready for this life? Are you prepared to live a life that glorifies God alone a life that can influence and even save our great nation? May the Lord empower you this moment to say 'Yes!' with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. Living For God’s Glory is designed to help you keep this commitment! May the Lord mightily bless you through this study of His Word."

Understanding the Last Days -
the Joel Rosenberg Interview (5 programmes)

by Kay Arthur with Joel Rosenberg
Understanding the Last Days - the Joel Rosenberg Interview
Introductory message from Kay: "Fellow believer, we’re living in the end times...and you’re a big part of them! Wouldn’t you like to know more about them? What’s coming and why? As the days approach, what kind of opposition can I expect? Does God expect me to warn people - my friends, acquaintances? Is there good news ahead I can share with them...or just bad? Is God sovereign or helpless over bad things as well as good? You’ll get all this and more as we sit at Jesus’ feet to learn God’s prophetic Word. We’ll also get Joel Rosenberg’s take on one of the storms approaching Israel - the Apple of God’s eye. Author of several geopolitical thrillers - The Last Jihad, The Last Days, The Copper Scroll, The Ezekiel Option - Joel gives us insights he has gathered from his own interviews with key international figures. This will be an adventure you won’t soon forget!"
