In the Days of Rain: A Daughter, a Father, a Cult

Product Information

The power of In the Days of Rain lies in the impact of life in the sect on Stott, her family and other members. In her depiction, a relatively benign if restrictive organisation becomes corrupted by a leadership who use Gestapo-style tactics to keep control. Amy Dowden stuns in a striped maxi dress as she arrives at Strictly Come Dancing studios after giving health update amid her cancer battle The Met Office says it will be "feeling slightly cool for the time of year", with a maximum temperature of 18C. But there was something that resonated deeply as I read In the Days of Rain: the sense of being tortured by an inability to feel sufficiently sure of things one’s very life depends on. Have I managed to “take the Lord into my heart”? the young Rebecca wonders; “Sometimes I’d be sure … then a day or two later He’d be gone again.” When a friend’s mother tells Stott “it was all right not to know” shortly after her family leave the Brethren, the idea astonishes her; not long after she experiences something like a conversion in a Catholic church, moved by the music and spectacle, where for “a moment” she “stopped striving to understand”.

At present, the most likely outcome beyond mid-week is that rain from the west slowly moves east, with snow possible over higher ground, and a continued risk of showers over eastern parts. However, there is a chance that a more active weather system arrives from the southwest, which would bring more widespread rain, stronger winds, and the potential for more significant snowfall should the air over the UK become sufficiently cold ahead of it. Either way, a continuation of colder than average conditions seems most likely, more details will become clear over the coming days and, as you would expect, we will be monitoring developments in the forecast closely.” Most ReadStrictly's Annabel Croft and partner Johannes Radebe left SPEECHLESS as they're awarded their first TEN for 'fiery and dramatic' Pasodoble Speaking about the weather forecast for next week, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Harris, commented: “Early next week, following a brief more unsettled interlude, we expect to see a return to widely cold but quiet conditions. Some rain, or showers, are likely to affect some parts of the east coast, and these could turn increasingly wintry over higher ground areas towards the middle of the week. Thereafter, confidence in the detailed forecast falls, which is typical when looking this far ahead. It does look as though there will be a trend towards something more unsettled, as areas of cloud and rain attempt to move across the UK. Friday will be "dry with sunny spells at first" around the southeast, according to the national forecaster. It's then turning "widely unsettled over the weekend" with "outbreaks of rain accompanied by stronger winds".

These grim days only came to an end when, in true pantomime fashion, Jim Taylor Junior was outed as an alcoholic sex-fiend, much given to groping Members’ wives. More schisms ensued. In the process, Roger Stott lost his faith, and transferred his energy towards amateur dramatics and roulette. In 1981, he was sent to prison for a year for fiddling the books to finance his gambling addiction. For the rest of his life, he attempted to work out a foolproof system of roulette, a substitute, perhaps, for a religion that had once offered him a foolproof system of the world.

Stott is able to distance herself from her difficult childhood and brilliantly capture the challenges of her family's days in the brethren." - Publishers Weekly Told in three parts: Before, During, and After, Stott traces her family and what motivated her ancestors to join the Brethren in the first place and her father's early life. In During, Stott recalls her own experiences as a young child as more and more restrictions were imposed on her family's life. She also talks to her father's contemporaries to build a picture of the brethren politics at the time and to build a picture of what her father was doing that he so struggled to deal with later.

If you are close to the Omid Scobie's scathing book expected to blame embattled civil servant Simon Case for deepening the rift between William and Harry There is a bit of heavy lifting in the early chapters as Rebecca Stott outlines the history of the Brethren - in between accounts of the final days with her father. It is essential though to understand what underpins the beliefs of the sect.All ties with the "worldly" people (sinners in Brethren eyes)were to be cut. This included spouses who were not fully committed to the Brethren life. Television, movies, music, and any books apart from the bible and the brethren ministries are banned.

Before he died, her father Roger, who spent his life veering between fanaticism and scepticism, recalled returning home from school, aged ten, only to find the house deserted. ‘As I looked up at the golden scatter of clouds in the sunset, a horror crept up on me. The Lord had come. The Rapture had happened. I’d been left behind.’
