If it was in a hotel room drawer it was virtually certain to be a Gideon Bible. The Gideon Society has apparently distributed 1.7 billion free bibles (a large proportion to Hotels worldwide) since 1908. If you have only just found out about this I am amazed....

Watched the movie Believer on my way to SE Asia. It’s a documentary on Dan Reynolds’ quest to legitimize the LGBTQ community in the Mormon religion. Dan Reynolds (a Mormon and not gay) is frontman for Imagine Dragons. Makes me want to toss every one of those Books of Mormon in the garbage can. In short, the Mormon religion is responsible for the suicide deaths of an incredible number of youths, 3X the normal average. 
I encourage everyone to watch the movie.

Stayed at a ritz carlton in jakarta yesterday and they have a quran, a bible (gideons), and a book of mormons.
i tried to memorise all three but 2 nights stay definitely not enough
I guess I wont have Arnie as my Ambassador yet.
