As we approach the Christmas gift season, I wanted to provide a compilation of outstanding daily devotionals. It is a great time to give the gift of a devotional that covers every day of the year. Alas, I can only recommend two, despite owning and working through many more. It came down to Paul David Tripp's New Morning Mercies and Bob Hostetler's The Shakespeare Devotional. Since 2 books hardly made a compilation, I shifted gears and chose to highlight health and nutrition books.
One would think I'm a fit and thin individual, given the number of nutrition and health books I read. One would be sadly mistaken. I love to read about this subject. Implementing what I read is something of a struggle. Again, though, it is that time of year when gifting reflects best intentions for resolutions. Or perhaps, like me, you just enjoy reading books about getting healthy (sometimes more than actually getting healthy). I cannot say these are the best books on the subject, only that they are ones I have reviewed (although I didn't take much time compiling this list and didn't go back further than a few years except for ones I remembered well enough to call forth again). I have marked the most memorable and meaningful books with an asterisk (*).

Eating healthy is ALWAYS a struggle. Congratulations for all the weight you've lost. To be honest, even though I don't doubt these are excellent books - I've about given up on having a nutritious lifestyle. I never did respond - but I will be reading Mark Vroegop's book, Waiting isn't a Waste. Other friends have also recommended it.
Yes, Gretchen, I'll always struggle with nutrition and making wise choices. I'm so glad you'll keep an eye out for the new Vroegop book.
