Roger FergusonHOST
Because I grew up in a rough world, man, where things were very hard, but I had nothing to pull me out of it.
Roger FergusonHOST
When my father was passing away from drugs and alcohol and being robbed and beaten by people in some seedy hotel parking lot, and he was John Doe until my sister found him, I, for the first time in, well, I can't say it was the first time I read a Bible, but there was a Gideon Bible, and I read it.
Roger FergusonHOST
And you know what I read? Life is so hard, but you owe God.
Roger FergusonHOST
And all I had was the life was so hard part.
J. Scott SmartSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was a typical second-rate hotel room.
J. Scott SmartSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A double bed, a couple of chairs... a desk with some aged writing paper... and an unused Gideon Bible.
J. Scott SmartSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A chest of drawers stood against one wall...
J. Scott SmartSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Ill-fitting, faded wallpaper of an ancient hunting scene looked down on the room from all sides.

John DillonHOST
I'm not a big Gideon fan, but if you guys are out there, maybe I had this moment on a small group that I teach.
John DillonHOST
There are a lot of people who belong to the organization called the Gideons, and I said something non-nice about Gideon, and I was worried there'd be a small riot.
John DillonHOST
But you're right.
John DillonHOST
There's this idea of how? How are you going to do this? Now, what Gideon does is he seems to be trying to get out of it.
Luke LaRocqueHOST
at one meal i found myself
Donna CarterGUEST
enveloped by the warm fellowship of a whole gaggle of sisters during the meal they shared their stories of growing up in a particularly harsh mennonite community two of the sisters were close enough in age that they were both in fifth grade when the gideons visited their school and handed out little new testaments remember when that was a thing During their presentation, the Gideon representatives invited the children to accept Jesus into their lives by praying a simple prayer.
Donna CarterGUEST
And then to help them remember this important event in their lives, they invited their children to write their names in a special page in their little New Testaments with the date indicating that they had prayed that prayer.
Donna CarterGUEST
Well, one of those sisters, Tina, prayed the prayer that day and recorded it in the front of her little New Testament.
Ian MillarGUEST
And so I started reading it.
Ian MillarGUEST
And so I'm going through the Gideon's Bible, you know, and I start to realize all this stuff Jesus is saying somehow makes sense to me, even though my, you know, my carnal natural mind didn't perceive all of it.
Ian MillarGUEST
My spirit was being fed and growing.
Ian MillarGUEST
And it was transforming me.
