Tim LaHaye, a Christian minister who co-authored the best-selling series of novels in the series Left Behind, died today (7/25) after suffering a stroke.
A prominent minister who was part of Jerry Falwell's "Moral Majority" in the 80s, LaHaye began writing a series of novels based on the literal interpretation of Revelation in 1995. The series sold over 65 million books in all and spawned four movies based on the books.
LaHaye was 90.

I am sorry to hear that. In his life time, millions of readers read his book Left Behind. It scared me yet it inspired me. When I was reading it, it seemed that no problem I had at the time was worth worrying about. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting...I was reading Left Behind on my way to London, and ended up leaving it on the plane. I never got it back...I guess you could say it was "left behind."

I was surprised LaHaye was 90. So he was about 70 when the success of the books happened.
