Lemuel C. Hogue is a devoted pastor, Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, and lifelong student of God’s Word. Born into a Christian home, he was raised under the guidance of his father, Pastor Richard L. Hogue, and his mother, Ruby L. Hogue. For over 25 years, he pastored Morning Star Bible Church in Chicago, Illinois. A graduate of Chicago Baptist Institute, where he later taught for 16 years, Pastor Hogue holds degrees in Christian education, theology, and clinical psychology. Pastor Hogue has been happily married to his high school sweetheart, Ella Earlean, for 55 years. Today, he passionately encourages believers to study Scripture, grow in faith, and prepare for the eternal joy of God’s kingdom.

One of the greatest joys in a Christian’s journey is diving into God’s Word and finding how deeply it can shape our hearts, our choices, and our lives. “Studying for Approvement and Hope of an Everlasting Life: To Earn Life Is to Learn” by Pastor Lemuel C. Hogue isn’t just another Bible study guide—it’s a spiritual companion designed to help believers reconnect with the essence of God’s truth in today’s fast-changing world.
Whether you’re leading a Bible study group, teaching Sunday school, or simply looking to grow in faith on your own, Pastor Hogue has something for you.

Each lesson invites readers to reflect, pray, and apply biblical principles in real-life situations—reminding us that faith isn’t just something we study; it’s something we live every day.
In a world that often drifts away from God’s truth, Pastor Hogue calls us back to what truly matters. Through lessons on forgiveness, redemption, and serving others, he challenges readers to see beyond the noise of modern life and rediscover the beauty of living in obedience to God. Every chapter feels like a gentle nudge to re-center your life on Christ—reminding you that studying His Word is more than learning; it’s growing in love, purpose, and understanding.

It’s not just about memorizing verses—it’s about transformation. By the time you finish, you’ll feel encouraged, spiritually renewed, and ready to share the hope of God’s everlasting life with those around you.
