In the Twinkling of an Eye by Sydney D. W^atson While not a Bible study book in form, it is in fact a very effective commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:52. being a work of fiction based upon that Scripture.

Through curiosity 1 secured one of the copies, and got my first lesson in the subject of the second coming of Christ.
