A Divine Revelation of Hell
By Mary K. Baxter
ISBN: 0883682796

I opened this book with an open mind and soon wished that the author would have taken the same courtesies.

First, the Introduction began with an...

Pros: Good use of Imagery
Cons: Poor book cover

This is one book I have read out of a whole lot of books stating the true picture of hell and the consequences of sin to man. The book does not try to paint a hopeless situation for the living soul (man), rather it seeks to tell man that there is yet ...

Pros: interesting
Cons: not Biblical

A brief summary on what this book is about: Jesus supposedly visited the author of this book sometime back in the 70's. He gave her a divine revelation and she was told to come back and write a book about it in hopes to help spread the gospel of Jesus...

Pros: There is a good and holy message to be given in this book.
Cons: I didn't find anything about this book to be offensive.

My girlfriend lent me this book and said that although Mary Baxter had a version of Heaven's revelation out, that I should read this one first; as in wine tasting - to take the bitter first, because the sweet will be all the more sweeter to follow. I ...

Pros: The book may get people thinking about the need for Christ.
Cons: The book may be dismissed as scare tactic propaganda as old as the dark ages.

Interestingly, you cannot swing a dead cat around this book with out hitting numerous fallacies in biblical teachings.
I would start by saying hell may very well be real, but according to the bible, Jesus endured this so no one undeserving would need to experience this.I do not believe Jesus would have allowed her to burn and be tortured by demons for any length of time.As another reader pointed out, sin is equal in God's eyes, so why the divisions in hell, gays chained together, etc? Also Mary points out Jesus said to her that hell was created for Satan and his own, so it seems unlikely God would intervene to make a worse punishment for Homosexuals,wayward preachers, etc.
Now on to Baxter's mistakes. Aside from the obvious grammatical errors, there are so many chronological errors that make it all look suspicious.
