About The Authors: Dr. Tim LaHaye, who conceived and created the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, was a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He was the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University.

Dr. LaHaye had 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 had written over 50 nonfiction books and coauthored more than 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. His books touch on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behindseries, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, have appeared on the bestseller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, Publishers Weekly, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the New York Times.
