I met this lady and author personaly in 2005. Reading from a book , and actually seeing what she is about, are truly two different things. Please do not be discouraged, or pass any judgement on Mary. I fed her at my home dinner , and talked with her with amazement. ONe thing I know, is, when a bug flew in our front door which was attracted by a lamp, she got up quick, and demanded that the bug be killed. She said, they are evil, and to just get rid of it! I asked why...and she said, that they are certain reminders of the terrifiying experiences she faced while visiting Hell. It was really something to meet Mary, her demeanor and personality, truly say....*"I have experienced something no one ever should of experienced!" This book is encouraging...anytime, I think or am tempted to backslide, I think about what is only the tip of what Hell is really like, and how ready we should always be at any given moment. God says, we are not promised another day! Death can be at your front door tommorow. Are you ready to meet your maker? If not, its time to get right with God, and accept Him as your Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ!! God Bless all who read this!
