Ep. 101 – Mary Kathryn Baxter: God Wants Me to Show you the Room of Tears

August 01, 2025

This week we’re starting a two-parter, or maybe a three-parter?–on the writings of Mary Kathryn Baxter.  According to her autobiography, in 1976 she was visited by Jesus for 40 days, and taken on a journey through Hell and Heaven. God gave her a unique divine commission to write what she saw down and spread it to the world, a process of composition, possibly revision, likely no editing, that took about 20 years. The hosts of the Dispatchist, who have a strong background in editing/publishing, have questions about this timeline, given the importance of the client.

Anyway! Both “Divine Revelation of Hell” and “Divine Revelation of Heaven” are available for free, so read along. While Jacob would like to have “divine revelation of angels and demons,” there’s a general lack of desire to support the author or publisher. We’re reading the books out of order, starting with Heaven, although Jamin didn’t know this. 

Hell news and appetizers…

Beverages! Food and Wine has a nice article and recipe for the “Last Word” cocktail, share and enjoy!

Berbs! Our ongoing translation of Berbiguier’s “Farfadets” is here. When we get to $50/month on Patreon we’re going to start the audio book version!
