Beverly LaHaye, the prominent conservative Christian activist who founded Concerned Women for America and was a pioneering figure for Evangelical political engagement, died at age 94.

Born Beverly Jean Ratcliffe in Detroit, Michigan, she married Tim LaHaye, co-author of the best-selling Left Behind series, while a college student in 1947.

Beverly LaHaye founded CWA in 1978, in response to witnessing the liberal political activism of Betty Friedan, the founder of the abortion advocacy group National Organization for Women.

"Beverly LaHaye was not born into privilege nor blessed with extraordinary skills and abilities. Her life is a beautiful demonstration of what God can do with a person who is fully devoted to Him," stated CWA in the announcement of her death.

"She was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ all the days of her life and God used her in extraordinary ways to make a difference in the world around her."
