Gideons as an organisation is made up of great Christian folks who hand out Bibles for free all around the world, and here in Australia too. They have these little tiny bibles in a variety of colours. When I was a grade 8 student I received a little red bible, but only a few years later I had no idea where it could be. I really wanted to get one again.
So they have little white ones for nurses, little green ones for the army, little gold ones for doctors, and little blue ones as a general colour for everyone.
We had a Gideon member in our church and I asked for a replacement red one, but I was told no, they couldn’t do it because the rules said I could only get a red one if I was grade 8 – they offered me a blue one. The same thing happened again a few years ago when I asked another Gideon member. Last week however, finally after 20 years, I got a yes on my third attempt. God bless the Gideons for all the great work they do.
