'The Many Sombreros of Orvil Reid' tells the inspirational, touching, challenging, and humorous story of the struggles of a boy from Oklahoma, who later lived and worked as a missionary in Mexico for over three dozen years. He wore 'many sombreros' during those pioneer years of involvement with all kinds of developing phases of missionary work. Many people remember Orvil Reid for his 'strong-man feats,' which are detailed in this book, along with many aspects of his life and work. Young people need heros they can look up to. Orvil will become one for them. Adults need inspirational role models to overcome life’s problems and struggles. Orvil’s life will serve as an example for them too. And Senior Citizens need to be reminded of all they can do when their working years are behind them. Orvil’s story will do that for them as well. Readers who need a good laugh will find it in Orvil’s corny poetry. Those who enjoy more serious and religious poetry will find wonderful examples of Orvil’s writings as they read about Orvil Reid the poet. Your life will be touched, your compassion will be challenged, and any preconceived ideas of 'what a missionary does' will be changed, as you read and enjoy 'The Many Sombreros of Orvil Reid.'
