Camp Staff Devotional Now on Kindle

by Karen S. Roberts

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been three years since I wrote the camp staff devotional, “John Comes To Camp.” It was because of that devotional that this website was birthed.  I needed a website to make the devotional available.  But it wasn’t long before the Lord gave me a vision for a website that was more about providing devotionals to inspire people and making available devotional resources than it was about promoting the devotional ebook that I had written.  It’s been amazing to see guest writers contributing to the site and the readership of the site skyrocketing to more than 5000 individuals per month!  The site has come a long way from the few pages that I put together to launch it early in 2009.

Although many people find this website because they are searching for a camp staff devotional, most people are searching for inspiration, encouragement, and discussion of Biblical principles.  Others are searching for Christian music videos, which I sometimes post as Musical Devotions.

But today I’d like to announce a new milestone for “John Comes To Camp.”  It is now being published on Kindle!  The Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device is the most used ereader and is sold by Amazon.  Sales of Kindle are exploding, for many people love the idea of being able to carry thousands of books on one little ereader gadget.  Many of the new computers are now coming out with Kindle apps as well, so that the same number of books can be accessible by computer.  Often books sold on Kindle are less expensive than the versions that must be printed on paper.

And so, “John Comes To Camp,” has now entered the world of Kindle – and yes, it is less expensive than the ebook that is sold through this site to individual readers.  The group version with reprintable rights still must be purchased as an ebook.  But for those who work at Christian camps and own a Kindle, you can download it and conveniently read each day’s devo in ebook form whether you’re in your cabin, at the dining hall, sitting by the pool, or out on a hiking trail.  So much better than having to print it out and carry the pages with you!
