Tim LaHaye, the best-selling author best known for the Left Behind series, “graduated to heaven” early this morning after suffering a stroke at age 90.
His family announced the news of his passing at a San Diego hospital on his ministry Facebook page.
On the eve of his death, ministry partners, fans, and friends urgently asked for prayer on social media this weekend, offering a wave of early tributes that spread through end-times prophecy circles and chapters of Concerned Women for America (CWA), the 600,000-member public policy organization founded by LaHaye’s wife, Beverly.

Popular American evangelical author, and by all accounts godly man, Tim LaHaye, dead at a good old age.
Wow, sorry to here this. Good for him, a loss for us. We’ll be joining him soon enough. :)
I’m sorry to hear this but no doubt he is in a much better place. The LaHaye’s book The Act of Marriage has so positively touched and changed countless marriages to name just one of his books....
Ahh, wish he’d lived to see the rapture...but in a way, he did!
TIM LAHAYE and his wife BEVERLY have devoted their lives to defend traditional family values.
Not a fan at all of the very dicey theology pushed by his books. But I am sorry to hear of his passing. RIP and prayers for his family and loved ones.
Full of years. May he rest in peace, sympathies to his family and friends.
