Reid, Raymond

Raymond Reid has lived his entire life in the area of Guelph, Ontario, the setting for The Gate Seldom Found. His grandparents were profoundly involved in the house church movement as early as 1906, giving him many opportunities to meet the itinerant preachers of whom he writes. As a boy he often sat wide-eyed across the breakfast table regaled by anecdotes of their rich and colorful experiences.
