Title: Heaven's entrance requirements for the races
Description: The author of this work, Dr. Richard Edward Tottress is retired minister of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. He is currently (2016) in his late nineties, but continues to drive himself around Atlanta, Georgia in his big gold Mercedes. He is a vegetarian, as are many Adventists, and though officially retired he remains active in ministry. The book emphasizes the color-blind nature of God. The "entrance requirement" to heaven that is referred to tin the title of the book is that you do the will of God, a fundamental tenet of Adventist doctrine. Here is a quote from Chapter 1, from the bottom of page 3: "The highest honor that we may have is the kinship with Christ as it is offered. If we maintain our relationship to Christ, heaven will be our home. It is, however, evident that we may lose it by ceasing to do the Father's will. One who ceases to do the will of God becomes a full-fledged member of the other family- Satan's family." Whosoever accepts grace must subsequently forsake sin.
