WHAT IS SOLID JOYS?
Solid Joys is a daily devotional written and read by John Piper. These short, substantive readings are drawn from decades of his preaching and writing, and each one takes only a few minutes. That is all it takes to reset your whole day around the greatness of God. Every devotional points you to a passage of Scripture and helps you see and savor what God is really like. The aim isn't merely information, but joy: to feed your joy in Jesus every day of the year.

• Anyone longing for a simple, faithful daily rhythm in God's Word.
• Longtime readers of Desiring God and John Piper as well as anyone meeting him for the first time.
