The Knocking at the Door seeks to relate Christ's special message to the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist Church to a strange reluctance to respond to His loving invitation in the 1888 message. The basic idea turns out to be disturbing, even shocking. The author traces our current denominational problems to a single prime source: our failure to let that loving One in who has kept knocking at our "door" for over a century. He believes that the Lord is still knocking, and that there is a solution of hope: denom-inational repentance.
