Rating: Summary: A Divine Revelation of Excellence!!! Review: This book was good. It was also was a wake up call for me. Now, I know that the time is really near. The Lord shall soon come. I plan to be ready when he does. The book also makes you think about the sins that you are or have committed and how you can go to that terrible place called "Hell", if you do not straighten you in your sinful ways. This was excellent!!!
Rating: Summary: Don't reject God's love! Review: I feel that I need to explain another of the author's major point in this book. Ms. Baxter agrees with the majority, that God is a God of love. In the book, she gives the life story of various souls who have ended up in hell. Repeatedly, Jesus told Mary, these souls where told to repent, and did not obey. They rejected God's love for the temptations of the flesh. Their punishment was well known to them, yet they chose sin over salvation. While God is a being of love, He is also a wrathful God, who will brook no insult to His authority. People can choose to disobey God, and He still loves them and wishes for them to turn back to Him. However, if these same people never return to His care, and die with sin on their lips, He has made the consequences clear and will not coddle sinners.
Rating: Summary: A ¿Divine¿ Revelation? Review: After getting as far as "Jesus" calling a woman in Hell a "whoremonger"...I decided that either the Lord can not grasp the correct definitions of words in the English language, or "Reverend" Baxter's book is anything but "divinely" inspired. And if the "rich man" in the Lord's account of "the rich man and Lazarus" was not allowed any means to warn his brothers of the torments of hell because, "neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" (Luke 16:31b); I have to ask myself "why" the Lord has now seemingly changed His mind only to tell Ms. Baxter to "write a book". If this book is as she claims, "a divine revelation", I'll wait for it to be included as the 67th book of the Bible, if not; a serious look at the source of the unbiblical claims of the author need to be addressed -- "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." (II Corinthians 11:13-15)

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU, MARY K. BAXTER!
Rating: Summary: Hell is real regardless of beliefs Review: The authors premise in a nut shell; to those that don't believe(in hell)- Baxter says " What you believe has no bearing on the reality. Frost freezes whether you believe it or not, fire burns whether you believe it or not, the earth is round whether you believe it or not. Hell is real whether you believe it or not! Without Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, Hell is still there and your still going!!"- This is the message she claims through the telling of her story and expierence of seeing hell.-----And I believe her... and you the reader better too. Excellent book that gives HARSH ABSOLUTE reality.
Rating: Summary: A blessing in disguise Review: I can see that there are many different opinions when it comes to this book, and it's either loved it or hated it. Well, this book was a blessing in disguise for me. A friend urged me to read this book and accept Christ as my savior. I was skeptical, thinking that there was no way this woman knew what was going on in Hell. That point of view quickly disappeared after reading this book. As I began reading, I realized that Mary K. Baxter was truly blessed with a magnificant gift. I devoured the remainder of the book in less than 2 hours. I was floored! There was no way she could have described everything in such vivid detail and with such raw emotion that could be felt off the pages of this book without actually experiencing these details and emotions herself. I didn't know whether I wanted to cry or scream in horror as I read this book. Once I finished reading, I decided that I DID NOT want to end up like the poor souls in Hell. I know that God is a just and loving God, but He will not tolerate you having one foot on either side of the fence. He wants nothing more than for you to spend eternity with Him. You must build a relationship with God (not one where you don't listen to Him either). I accepted Christ as my savior, admitted that I was a sinner, and asked for His forgiveness. God has done nothing but bless me since then! You cannot know happiness until you invite Him to come in. There is this amazing joy that radiates from you and all those huge problems that occupied your life, just don't seem that big anymore when you let God take control of your life. This book was, for me, a step in the right direction. I pray that more people will use the information in Mary K. Baxter's books and the invaluable information in the Bible to come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Thank God for friends who are persistent and caring. God bless.
Rating: Summary: A warning! Review: This book... Is so powerful! I read the comments and review below trying to prove a standpoint or disprove what the book has to say... but they have missed the entire purpose and plan of the book already! It is a warning! If you are Born Again Christian who has entered into a relationship with our Loving savior Jesus Christ this book will give you tremendous insight to what the spiritual realms are holding. If not... please read what the life after death has to hold. It tells of the plan of our beloved Savior and all that He has for you in Heaven if you chose Him. I know this book is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit! There is truth in they way she gives account of the Father and our Savior that cannot be argued. Mary Baxtar's testimony tells of how our Savior appeared to her and showed her the horrors of Hell and Wonders of Heaven! For all the other reviewers... It seems as they try to disprove all the horror and pain reveled about Hell in this book... They have no problem excepting the beauty and happiness of Heaven! I won't debate or criticize but know, God is Love! He loves us sooo much, we can't even begin to comprehend it. But our God is also a righteous and holy God who can have NO part in sin. He has warned of us of Hell over and over again throughout the ages. And even in this book He warns us again! As the Righteous judge of creation He has to destroy All sin. HE warns US! Before you judge the book based on the reviews... Please ... listen to the Spirit of God. He doesn't lie. HE will tell you if this book is of HIS Spirit. Don't listen or rely on the words of men but listen with your spirit! He loves us! Sin has a price! But the reward for serving God is even more amazing to imagine... God is love! I pray blessing on you all. Your brother in Christ...Dave P.S. Beloved..Love one another! ;)
Rating: Summary: The Gospel of Bad News Review: I read some of this book while browsing in the bookstore, and it truly disgusted me. What a stain on God's character! God is love. Yes, he is just and he punishes (sometimes severely), but he has a Father's heart of love. His punishments always correct! To those who believe in the truth of this book, you really can't hold to the position that God is love. The punishment presented here is vindictive, cruel, and fiendish. There is no purpose to eternal punishment. Love never fails (ICor 13:8), but according to Ms. Baxter, God, who is love, has failed. He wants to save everyone (ITim2:4), but can't pull it off. The word gospel means good news. The bible, unlike the nonsense in this book, truly is good news for everyone. It says God is the saviour of all mankind (ITim 4:10), Jesus is saviour of the entire world (John 4:42, IJn 2:2, IJn 4:14), Jesus died for all (2Cor5:15), Jesus will draw all men to Himself (Jn 12:32), every knee will bow in worship before Jesus (Phil 3:21), God binds all into stubbornness that he might have mercy on all (Rom 11:32), there will be a restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) and a reconciliation of all things (Col 1:20, Eph 1:10). The biblical words for hell and eternity are not as clear cut as you might think. There is no mention of hell at all in the Old Testament. Yes, there is a hebrew word "sheol", but this word means a hidden or unknown place, especially the realm of the dead. Jonah said he was in sheol when inside the great fish, Job longed to go to sheol during his earthly suffering, Jacob and David (declared saints in the bible) went to sheol, ISam 2:6 says the Lord brings down to sheol and raises up again. When the OT was translated to Greek, sheol was translated to the Greek word hades, which means "the unseen". There is mythology connected to this word, but scripture uses it only in the same sense as sheol - the realm of the dead. Jesus holds the key to death and hades (Rev 1:18) means that he has power over death, not that he acts as a jailer. Death and hades are temporary and will be destroyed (ICor 15:55, Rev 20:14). The Greek word "Gehenna" that is translated hell in most bibles actually refers to a place on earth. It means the "valley of Hinnom", which was the garbage dump of Jerusalem in Jesus' day where fires continually burned. Executed criminals were often "thrown into Gehenna", where worms consumed them. It represents a fiery judgment, and may or may not represent punishment in the hereafter. Certainly, punishment after death is clearly taught in the bible. Sinners are punished according to what they have done, but God's judgments make things right again. They are not eternal. Wherever eternal punishment is mentioned in scripture (eg Mat 25:46, Dan 12:2, 2Thes 1:9), the word for eternal (olam in Hebrew, aion in Greek) actually means "age-lasting". A good concordance will verify that fact (Try the Engishman's Hebrew/Greek Concordances). God has a plan to save everyone. Jesus came to save everyone. Those who aren't drawn to Him in this life will be drawn to Him in some resurrected age, because the promises are sure (Jn 12:32, ICor15:22). I believe in God's goodness above all other things, so I can follow the commandment to not worry about anything. It's not up to me to save sinners, though I still try to do my part. It's much more effective, by the way, to preach a saviour who loves sinners enough to die for them all, then to say you better believe now before he sends you to a torturous eternity. I was once taken in by such hell-fire preaching. I even heard a radio preacher once say that God would throw babies into hell. God won't hold such people guiltless, because they malign His character (a violation of the 3rd commandment), but He will have mercy on them. I hope this helps set some hearts at ease. Search deep into the scriptures yourself to see if these things are so, and ask God for the answers, for he who asks shall receive.
Rating: Summary: Execelent Book Review: I thought this book was an execelent description of what Heaven and Hell really are like. I do believe that Hell is repeticious and I do believe that if you do not beg Jesus for forgivness you will be placed in this terrible place. I highly recommend this book to all people who have any questions and/or doubts about Heaven and Hell. This book was wonderful and I have read it several times.
