With God's healing mercy in serious and progressive illness, Lauri A. Hogle, PhD has served as a church music/children's ministry/women's ministry leader, music educator, music therapist, research scholar, and author. Her words and musical offerings have touched lives across the globe. Lauri uniquely shares the gospel-centered hope of Jesus Christ into suffering, writing with Scripture and song. Why? Singing "Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs," especially singing Scripture itself, helps her endure agonies of suffering. As an author, researcher, and educator, she seeks to glorify God by encouraging Christians to "sing Christ's hope" as they walk through trials and pain. In addition to Bible study devotional books, Lauri creates Biblically thematic weekly playlists to help readers sing, at laurihogle.com. She also offers "Singing Christ's Hope Into Your Suffering" on YouTube, with short readings of Scripture and music-therapy inspired piano playing of hymns, for sufferers who find reading difficult. By God's grace, her greatest joy is as wife, mother, and Nana.
