In the Twinkling of an Eye [Paperback]

Sydney Watson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1985

1918. Multitudes in all parts of the world have expressed their approval of this imaginative, yet true-to-Scripture account of what will transpire on this earth at the coming of the Lord. It is written in a style so fascinating that young and old will read it with almost breathless interest from start to finish. Already many thousands who would never have studied their Bibles, or looked at an ordinary book or pamphlet to learn the precious truth of the Second Coming of the Lord, have been awakened, quickened and even converted by reading In the Twinkling of An Eye. Convincingly true, terrible and beautiful in turn, this book is one of the most startling in the annals of Christian literature-just the book to solemnize and awaken careless, ill-taught, professing Christians to a complete realization that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Facinating end times story from the turn of the century, August 1, 2000

This review is from: In the Twinkling of an Eye (Paperback)

If you have a chance to get your hands on a copy of this gem of a book, I highly recommend you do so. I believe this book was written in 1918, and it is very interesting to read a story of the rapture that was written so long ago. Set in London, the language is writing style is definately from that time period, and little tidbits about horse-drawn cabs, lighting lanterns when they enter a house, etc. really add to the feel and charm of this book. If you love the currently popular "Left Behind" books, I think you will really enjoy this book too.

5.0 out of 5 stars In the Twinkling of an Eye, May 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Twinkling of an Eye (Paperback)

This first book, in a two book set, covers the topic of Christ's second coming. Written in a style that will remind readers of the current "Left Behind" series, one is brought into the lives of several individuals and how they come into contact with the teachings of Christ's second coming. The Passover scene late in the text is excellant. In addition, reading how a newspaper editor "researches" the facts, researches the preparations for the rebuilding of the temple in Israel, and his method of sharing the news is great. In his words, PERHAPS TODAY!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book for anyone!, July 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Twinkling of an Eye (Paperback)

Reading this book was an incredible experience for me. As a new Christian, I learned many things about the second coming of Christ. It could happen in the twinkling of an eye. Not only did the book give me new information, it is also a beautiful story of love. I am sorry to see it is no longer in print. Everyone should have the opportunity to read "In The Twinkling of an Eye".
