Lord, Only You Can Change Me: A Devotional Study on Growing in Character from the Beatitudes

PART OF THE BELOVED “LORD” BIBLE STUDY SERIES WITH MORE THAN A MILLION COPIES SOLD—insightful, warm-hearted, and designed to meet you where you are and help you discover God’s answers to your deepest needs.

“It’s overwhelming to consider the number of people who learned how to study their Bibles inductively because of [Kay Arthur’s] years of faithful teaching and writing.”—Melissa Kruger, The Gospel Coalition

Who are you . . . on the inside? Are you growing into the image of Christ? Or are you far from being all you want to be in the Lord?

If you’ve ever wondered how you can truly change, there is hope. Jesus invites you to stop trying to develop godliness through your own efforts and to start relying on the indwelling Holy Spirit. That’s the way to a deep, rich, honest relationship with your heavenly Father. That’s the way to become godly to the core.

This in-depth study of the Sermon on the Mount will minister to you in intimate ways so you can begin living a truly transformed life.

In The “LORD” Series, Kay Arthur, creator of the Precept inductive Bible study method and founder of Precept Ministries international, guides you through the Scriptures to uncover truths you will want to share with others. Designed for group use or personal study.

Kay Arthur was executive vice president and cofounder of Precept Ministries International. Known around the world as a Bible teacher, author, conference speaker, and host of national radio and television programs, she wrote more than 120 books and inductive Bible study courses, with a total of over five million books in print. Kay and her husband, Jack, founded Precept Ministries in 1970 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Started as a fledgling ministry for teens, Precept today is a worldwide outreach that establishes children, teens, and adults in God’s Word, so that they can discover the Bible’s truths for themselves. Kay Arthur passed away in 2025.
