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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The previous review is bogus, April 27, 2002

This review is from: Perhaps Today: Living Every Day in the Light of Christ's Return (Hardcover)

Don't listen to the review from New York. This guy is fabulous! I bought this book for my husband for his birthday and he has loved it! It is very inspiring and helpful to him.

The book of Revelation is very hard to understand and oftentimes misinterpreted. I believe that being Christians we are always looking for the truth, but won't find it until we are all with the Lord himself.

The Left Behind series, however, gives a great idea of things to come so that we can warn our non-Christian friends and loved ones.

Don't take my word for it or this other, guy, read it yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLIFIES UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE WE NEED TO LIVE, December 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Perhaps Today: Living Every Day in the Light of Christ's Return (Hardcover)

This book is so Spirit-filled! The person who wrote that bogus review about the messenger who took Jesus' place needs to sit down and read his Bible! I highly recommend this book for new Christians and those that have been believers a longer time - for EVERYone, actually! Everything in this book is scriptural and it is all simply worded so everyone can understand it. There are tons of false teachings out there, readily available to anyone who doesn't know Christ. This book is not included in that number, however. It can all be backed up from the Bible, God's Word, and it is. Read it prayerfully.

I am on my 2nd reading through the daily devotional, "Perhaps Today". By reading one devotional per day it gives a person thought-provoking scripture and text to ponder. I've found it one of the better references in helping others understand how important a relationship with Christ is.
