The project was proposed by one of the association's trustees who believed that the Gideons should make it their goal to put a Bible in every hotel room in the United States because it “would be a gracious act, wholly in keeping with the divine mission of the Gideon Association.”
We can thank Gideon International for this sacred hotel amenity. The organization was formed in 1899 after three traveling salesmen met in a hotel room, and by 1908, it was distributing Bibles to hotels around the United States, according to the Los Angeles Times. Members of Gideon International often met with the managers of new hotels, presented them with a free copy of the Bible, and offered to equip every room in the hotel with a copy, too. Thus, the dependable hotel room Bible spread across the nation.
