Beverly LaHaye

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beverly LaHaye (born April 30, 1929) is a conservative activist and author.

Beverly LaHaye is best known for The Act of Marriage, a Christian sex self-help bestseller she co-authored with her husband, Tim, when she founded Concerned Women for America in 1979. In 2001, LaHaye hired Robert H. Knight and Peter LaBarbera, to launch CWA’s Culture & Family Institute.

She is married to Dr. Tim LaHaye. They have four children and nine grandchildren and live in the Los Angeles area. One of their sons, Lee LaHaye, is the chief financial officer of Concerned Women for America and is alleged to be openly gay.[1][2] The CWA have never rebutted the charge.[3]

In 1992, Jerry Falwell's Liberty University gave Beverly LaHaye, Tim's wife, an honorary Doctorate of Humanities.

[edit] Controversy

LaHaye was quoted in a 2004 speech at the CWA conference as saying, "Yes, religion and politics do mix. America is a nation based on biblical principles. Christian values dominate our government. The test of those values is the Bible. Politicians who do not use the Bible to guide their public and private lives do not belong in office."
