More About the Author

Dr. Tim LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), who conceived the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, is a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also recently cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University. Presently Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the U.S. and Canada, where his current prophecy books are very popular.

Dr. LaHaye holds a doctor of ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a doctor of literature degree from Liberty University. For 25 years he pastored one of the nation's outstanding churches in San Diego, which grew to three locations. It was during that time that he founded two accredited Christian high schools, a Christian school system of ten schools, and San Diego Christian College (formerly known as Christian Heritage College).

Dr. LaHaye has written over 50 non-fiction books and co-authored 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. He has written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behind series, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, continue to appear on the best-seller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, "Publishers Weekly," the "Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and the "New York Times."

Another popular series by LaHaye and Jenkins is The Jesus Chronicles. This four-book fiction series gives readers a rich first century experience as John, Mark, Luke, and Matthew recount thrilling accounts of the life of Jesus. Dr. LaHaye is co-author of another fiction series, Babylon Rising. Each of the four titles in this series have debuted in the top 10 on the New York Times best seller list. These are suspense thrillers with thought-provoking messages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth Reading, March 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Be Happy Though Married (Mass Market Paperback)

This book came at the ideal time for my marriage and ultimately all my relationships. Please read this book prayerfully. Our society has made us believe that women are weak if they "Submit" to their husbands. I realize how brainwashed we have allowed ourselves to be and find it very disconcerting. I liked the quickness of the read--it's a very short book. My husband doesn't like to read books, but will read this one. I have found a very timely answer.

This delightful and insightful little book saved my marriage! After 6 years, our relationship had gone dry. I thought my husband was a bore, and I felt trapped. It was the title that caught my eye on a local bookstore shelf. We live in a small town where everyone knows everybody, so I think I muttered something about buying it for a friend. Learning about the basic temperament types gave me a new perspective which led to an appreciation for our differences. (Temperament types aren't new. Hippocrates propounded the theory that there are basically four types of temperament 400 years before Christ.) Subsequently, I purchased more of Dr. LaHaye's books on the subject, but this one remains my favorite. I have given a number of copies to friends when their marriages moved into the desert. I am delighted to see it has been updated and is still in print. I bought mine over 30 years ago.

I happen to come across this book and read it although I don't attend church and wouldn't consider myself to be Christian. Nonetheless, I found the book to be insightful and helpful. I've read other relationship books and this book added a different "twist" which made a lot of sense to me. The book offered different perspectives to common problems and was geared towards self-empowering solutions. I definitely recommend reading it.
