woah, My Pastor spoke about the story of Gideon on Friday night, it is located in the book of Judges, and it has little * which translates the meaning of the name* however I will show you what it means
It generally means "feller of trees; powerful warrior and also Destroyer." In The Bible Gideon relates to Jerubbaal, a hero as well as a judge of Israel who has won numerous battles, with his shrewd and skilful planning and most of all with his faith. He also gave the title of 'a man of http://wiki.answers.com/q119073.html' in the Epistle to the Hebrews. The four different forms of Gideon are Gideone, Gidi, Gidon and Hedeon.
I don't know if you have faith in Christ Jesus yet or not HOWEVER, thanks for asking questions.
Gideons International was created in 1899.
The Bibles are given out by the Gideons.
The Gideons believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant word of God.

Because, like Gideon, two ordinary men set out to accomplish a mighty work commissioned by God.
There is an international organization that puts copies of the Bible in each hotel room, all over the world. The organization is called "The Gideons". It is the regular Holy Bible, but the cover will say, usually, "placed by The Gideons".
The cast of A Gift from the Gideons - 2012 includes: Chad Chesmark as Luke Milka Chesmark as Tamara
The Gideons are not actually a denomination of Christianity, but a Christian organization officially called "Gideons International" whose mission is to spread the word of God by handing out Bibles to people who might never otherwise encounter it. So the Gideons don't have specific beliefs (like whether Jesus is completely God or if he was something else) and can come from a variety of denominations. However, most Christians do believe that Jesus is God, so most Gideons are probably going to believe that, too. I hope that answered your question.
To renew membership for 2014, the cost is $60 per year for Gideons; $30 per year for Auxiliary members.
The Gideons are a group; a Christian group and not a religion of its own. The Gideons are known for placing Bible's in Hotels for all to use. They are basically a Bible printing and distribution organization.
