"In the Twinkling of an Eye" by Sydney Watson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to revolve around a blend of fiction and Christian themes, focusing on the concepts of redemption and the anticipation of Christ's return. The initial chapters introduce Tom Hammond, a disillusioned journalist facing sudden career upheaval, as well as major events that unfold in his life, hinting at a broader exploration of faith and moral dilemmas. The opening of the book sets a reflective tone, presenting Tom Hammond as a man grappling with disappointment after losing his job due to organizational changes in a newspaper company. As he wanders through lively London, his chance encounter with an old friend opens opportunities for a new beginning in his journalistic career, aligning with a sense of newfound purpose. Alongside this personal journey, the narrative foreshadows deeper human experiences through a dramatic incident that leads to Tom saving a woman from drowning, emphasizing themes of compassion and the struggles of life in a bustling city. The author's initial foreword indicates a desire to reach readers through relatable storytelling while addressing profound spiritual truths, ultimately aiming to inspire reflection on readiness for the return of the Lord.
