THe Gideon International Bible is most certainly not a Bible approved by the Catholic Church.
The Gideon Bible is not written by a single author but is usually a King James Version of the Bible, which is a translation of the Christian Bible. The Gideon's International organization distributes these Bibles for free in hotels and other locations around the world.
We were just in a hotel room where I actually read the Gideon Bible in the drawer. I noticed that it was a King James Version. Because of the history of strained politics between the Vatican and England, it's safe to say that the King James Version is not a Catholic Bible. Regardless, I'm sure the Gideons would not object if a Catholic were to read their Bible.
