Summary: This book cannot possibly be for real!!
Review: This book is poorly written and unbeliveable! I believe in Heaven as well as Hell, but this books description of hell would cause even the Bible believing Christian to dismiss hell as a figment of someones demented imagination. Hell shaped like a body...people repenting in hell.....a "Fun Center? Oh Pa-lease! Don't waste your time with this one.

Summary: Gotta read, gotta have, gotta pass around
Review: Easy to read and understand. You will need a book for yourself and buy a few to pass around. Hell is very real!! and so is heaven!!! Learn how you can get to heaven ... and learn that hell is worse than you can imagine. Whether you end up in heaven or hell is your choice, and remember your choice is eternal. Ms. Baxter's choice of words were clear and purposeful and scriptual. I read the book from cover to cover and didn't put it down.

Summary: A Wakeup call to saints and sinners alike.
Review: It tells us as Christians to re-evaluate our lives to see if we are lifting up the standard of what God really wants in these last days. It tells Sinners to repent and turn from their wicked ways, also to let go and let God! Mrs. Baxter had to be a worthy vessel for God to use her in such a way and I think the book is awesome.

Summary: A must to read for everyone !!!!!
Review: This book is truely inspired by God's love for us as a wake up call. We have an immortal soul that will live for eternity and God is trying to let us know that many of us are on the way to hell. Read this book and pray that God inspires you to know the TRUTH. Time is running out. Please believe God used Mary to let us know how important it is to repent and turn our hearts back to the Triune God. This book has changed my life and I thank Mary for the courage she had in writting it

Summary: This book is a Real Life-Changer!
Review: Mary Baxter's book, "A Divine Revelation of Hell" is arguably the most incredible book in print, after the Holy Bible. The insight she gives into what is actually going on in the hell of the Bible RIGHT NOW is mind-boggling.
The book is mostly a sequence of testimonies of people who have died and gone to hell. Specifically, Jesus Christ led Mary, hand-in-hand throughout hell, for 40 separate trips. The substance of most of their trips was this:
Jesus would bring her to various places in hell where Jesus would show her a certain person who was banished to hell after death. That person would actually be standing there in front of them, and would usually carry on some conversation with Jesus. Typically, they'd ask Him to forgive them and release them from their horrible torments, which He never agreed to, because "It is too late; the Judgement has been set."
Throughout the book, Jesus shows Mary many different cases of why people were sent to hell: there were murderers, witches, adulterers, drug-pushers, and many, many "regular old people" who lived "regular old lives", but who died without turning their lives over to Jesus as Savior and Lord. There were also quite a number of people who had been Christians, and even ministers, who backslid so far as to lose their salvation. In each case, Jesus explained to Mary as to WHY they ended up in hell.
This book has made an ENORMOUS impact on my Christian walk. It has put the FEAR OF GOD into me big-time, because I see that I am STILL guilty of some of the things that led up to those Christians' backslidings and missings-out on heaven. I'd reckon that most-any person on earth would be equally-concerned for themselves if they KNEW what Jesus revealed to the church through Mary Baxter and if they BELIEVED it to be true.
I've read this book about 20 times, cover-to-cover, because I just can't get over what Jesus Christ has revealed to His church through Mary Baxter. Let me say that I am a very staunch Bible-believer and am NOT one to get carried away with all sorts of rediculous "End of the World" prophecies from cult-leaders. As such, I have compared Mary Baxter's words to the Bible over and over, and here's what I've found:
1.) I can not actually DISPROVE anything that she says.
2.) I can not actually PROVE much of what she says, either.
Taken together, these two statements form the basis for at least the Biblical POSSIBILITY that what Mary Baxter says is in fact from God. Remember, if you yourself haven't had an experience with hell, there's no possible way that you can "prove" whether this testimony is true - so if you place "proof" as a stipulation upon accepting Mary Baxter's testimony, then don't waste your time in reading this book. In fact, no one can "prove" that the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible will come true, either, but as Christians we accept it because God said it.
If, however, I could have found elements in Mary Baxter's book which were actually CONTRARY to Holy Scripture, then her book would have been proven false. But I haven't.
I've given out many copies of this book to friends. I gave one to a friend who was having serious marriage troubles. She was planning on divorcing her husband, but after reading Mary Baxter's book, she told me, "Oh my God! That book is a real life-changer!" You see, she saw a piece of herself (as I certainly have) in the lives of the souls whom Jesus and Mary spoke to in hell. After reading Mary's book, my friend realized that the bitterness in her own heart could potentially land her a place in hell if she didn't truly forgive her husband and try to make things right.
I would encourage everyone - Christians and non-Christians alike - to get this book at all costs. It is simply the biggest Life-Changer in print that I know of.

Summary: The worst book ever written? I think we have a winner!
Review: Is literary quality worse than 'The Celestine Prophecy' possible? This book answers this question with an resounding yes!! 'A Divine Revelation of Hell' is so unoriginal and repetitive it forces one to wonder if the author used cut and paste to write the entire book from previous sections.
On and on, we're taken on a bland tour of 'hell', a place where God sends people who don't worship Him, to be tortured for eternity. There is no chance of parole, no chance of escape. No matter how victimless your crime, no matter how long you are tortured, beaten, burned, and sorry for your sins you will not be let out. The author, Mary Baxter, claims to have gone to hell with 'Jesus'. As they pass by some of the souls in hell, they plead with Jesus to let them out. They repent of their 'sins', and regret not worshipping God before they died. Jesus gets mad at these people and yells at them, telling them he will *never* let them out and that they deserve to be tortured. I thought the Christian Jesus was a man of love! Apparently not!
Baxter's message is: If you don't worship this hideous God He will torture you. So you better get down on your hands and knees and pray, unbeliever! If you are a drinker, homosexual, adulterer, atheist, etc., you must change your ways or else Jesus will force you into hell forever. Remember, Jesus is all-powerful and can let you out anytime he wants, but he won't, because he doesn't want to. According to this book, anyways.
Mary Baxter even tells the reader, "What you are about to read will frighten you. I pray it will frighten you enough to make you a believer." (p174) The author's intent is to scare us all into becoming Christians, to use the threat of hell and the violence of torture to turn is into mindless slaves worshipping her god!
Well, as you can see this book is pretty insane. Don't buy it unless you too are insane. Then you might like it. I wanted to rate it a 0 but the scale wasn't low enough.
As Charles Heston once said, "This is madness!"

Summary: Cosmic Hitler?
Review: I have purchased this book back in June, 1995 and have read it. I can't help to think that the way God is described is what one can imagine if Hitler gained control of the entire cosmos. The description of Hell is like one eternal Death camp, with Satan the Josef Mengele of the underworld. The devils and demons are the Camp
Guards and some of the other human "souls" that torture others are the Kapos. The story of the Indian woman being in eternal torture because she failed to convert to Christianity when missionaries tried to is just appalling. Because she still believed in her native Hinduism, she now suffers eternal punishment. This reminds me of Hitler punishing those who didn't follow Nazi beliefs, such as Christians opposed to the Nazi regime and others of conscience, as well as Hitler's racial purification policies of exterminating the Jews and others deemed "undesireable". In sum, the book sounds like a work of fiction. I can't comment any further, since I'm not the author. I don't know what she experienced, but it certainly doesn't sound like true justice. -- Art Leopold

Summary: Contents Of Div Rev Of Hell Consistent With Bible
Review: I have thoroughly read Mary K. Baxter's book
and found it to be very consistent with the
Bible. I wish to caution people who read
this book or are thinking about reading this book
not to judge the content by human ideas of justice, which is severely tarnished by the sinful state of man, but rather compare it
to the view of justice and mercy, as revealed
in the Bible. Regardless of what you believe about this book or God's justice one must
understand we will ALL be judged by our Creator and no one--absolutely no one-- will
escape this judgement.
God has provided this revelation so that many
could know the true state of what awaits
unrepentant sinners. He did this so that we
could AVOID the eternal torments of hell. Of course we have a free will to believe or not
to believe--to choose or not to choose to serve
our loving Creator. However, we are NOT free to avoid the consequences of our choice. This is the most important question of EVERYONE'S life. Are you on the road to hell or heaven

Summary: Message to Darrell, all Christians & People
Review: Darrell, I want to respond to your stand that hell is not burning souls now and God would be a cruel if there was a Gehenna(hell). 1) Revelation 20.13-15: " The sea gave up the dead that where in it, and the death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what the had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire, which was the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." This scripture shows that there are 2 deaths for the dead, as you stated. Now, the first dead are in Hades(Seol)staying there temporarly until Jesus Chirst comes. This place however is inhabited by demons (unlike your belief), and the dead who denied Jesus as Christ: 2Peter2.4 "Did God spare even the angels who sinned? He did not!He held them captive in hell consigned them to pits of darknessto be guarded until judgement." Matt.10.28"..Rather be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." They are sent to hell and then what is destroyed? Soul and "BODY". Anything that is being destroyed hurts, A TYPE OF flesh and soul. Another verse, Jesus gives a parable of what hell is at this time "Luke 16.24".Immediately after Lazarus' death, he is sent to hell, and asks to be cooled because of the fire. THe FIRE is still active not just when Judgement comes, nor does Rev.20 say that "earth be covered with fire". Wrong, there will be a new earth and heaven Rev.21.1. 2) How can this be Justice? Our Father gave us a choice. A choice of life or death. "He send His begotten and only Son, Jesus Christ to the world so that we may have life through him" 1John.4.9. But He had to be sacrificed as sin, nailed to the cross to deliver us from SIN,and DEATH. Who has ever died for you my friend? He loves you so much that He went First through extreme agony and then rose from the dead in order to deliver us from bondage and hell. So now it is our choice if we receive Him as our Saviour and Lord, and stop living a life with two masters. 3) In reponse to Mrs.Braxter's book and Christians believing this is ANTIBIBLICAL: Matt.10.26 " There is nothing concealed that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispred in your ear, proclaim from the roofs." Acts.2.17 "In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, young men will see visions, and old men will dream dreams."

Summary: Doubt? Remember the price Christ paid for our sin!
Review: I have been a reborn Christian for more than 7 years now. A girl passed this book to me when I was in a time of rebellion against God. In the beginning, I didn't quite believe in the harsh reality portraited in this book. Immediately after a discussion about this book on the phone with my friend, I felt sleepy and went to bed for a nap. It was only 3pm and a sunny afternoon. Then the Lord gave me a vision in my dream. I saw Him in a distance. He was on the cross, so wounded. I couldn't understand where He got all the cuts from. They were all over His body. (I only understood this when I saw the movie The Passion of the Christ recently. No part of His body was sound because of the way the Roman soldiers scourged Him.) When I woke up, I realised that the book was telling the truth. So far, I think, this is the book that has given the most information on hell.
