A fellowship of Christian businessmen and professionals who spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through distribution of the Holy Bible. While most people are familiar with the Gideons' hotel bibles, the Gideons also distribute bibles in prisons, on college campuses, in hospitals and to police, firefighters and members of the armed forces. Contrary to other entries, the Gideons do not spy on people at the hotels. In fact, Gideons must be non-judgemental and avoid all manner of divisive doctrinal discussions.
I left my Bible at home. I'm sure glad the Gideons left a bible in this hotel room.
