Tim LaHaye

BIO

Dr. Tim LaHaye is a noted author, minister, counselor, television commentator and nationally recognized speaker on family life and Bible prophecy. Co-author of the Left Behind series, it was LaHaye's idea to fictionalize an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation.

LaHaye came up with the idea of a novel about the Second Coming. "Sitting on airplanes and watching the pilots," he told People Magazine, "I'd think to myself, 'What if the Rapture occurred on an airplane?'" LaHaye looked for a co-writer for several years and was then introduced to writer Jerry B. Jenkins through their mutual literary agent, Rick Christian, president of the Colorado Springs agency, Alive Communications, who also negotiated the book deal.
