Every day, all over the world, millions of people turn up in hotels and seek the shelter and hospitality they afford for a night's rest or a longer stay.
On many bookings websites, or at reception desks, the familiar question is asked millions of times every day - "Business or Pleasure?" And for sure, the vast majority of stays are connected either with someone travelling with their job or enjoying a break from their work.
There are also certain other groups of people who turn up in hotels and we don't see these questions on the "business or pleasure" list. We don't see for instance:
turned out of your home for alcoholism and a violent temper?
planning to commit adultery behind your partner's back?
planning to commit suicide because everything is so overwhelming?
planning to do some drugs deals and don't want anyone to know?

We know of cases in each of these categories where finding a Gideons Bible in the hotel room has stopped a person from the disastrous plan they had in mind when they went into that room, or helped them to cope with addiction having found new life in Jesus.
But it isn't just people in these extreme categories that need Jesus. People who seem relatively happy and well balanced still are empty inside and bewildered by the way the world is changing. They need the answers to their questions and if this Holy Bible were not the best place to find them, then it would not be the most translated, most sold, most broadly distributed, most burned, most stolen and most banned book on the planet!
If you have a hotel, motel or even bed and breakfast and would like to offer the service of having Gideons Bibles in your room, then these are available to you. Gideons.org enables you to get in contact with the local members who will be sure to help with a free supply for your rooms.
