Length: 9 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

Learn the secret of living with contentment, peace, and security.

Pause for a moment and ask yourself what your life would be like if it were completely without fear? If you did not fear death. If you did not fear life and what it might bring. If you did not fear any man, or woman, or any living creature. Would you live differently?

In this unique work of never-before-published teaching, Dallas Willard revolutionizes our understanding of Psalm 23 by taking this comfortably familiar passage and revealing its extraordinary promises: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.... I will fear no evil." The psalmist claims to live without any need and without any fear. How is that possible?

Written with Willard's characteristic gentle wisdom, Life Without Lack reveals the secret to enjoying God's presence and becoming utterly caught up in his abundant generosity. The more we practice living in his presence, the more we experience the peace and freedom from worry that is promised in the psalm. Based on a series of talks by the late author and edited by his friend Larry Burtoft and by his daughter, Rebecca Willard Heatley, Life Without Lack will forever change the way you understand and apply the most well-known passage in all of Scripture.

I was very encouraged

I was very encouraged listening to this book. I felt an unusual Peace as I listened. Definitely will listen to this one again.

How to get all you want--allow wants to change

Do you really love Jesus so much that your wants become exactly the same as what he gives you? This is a book that either will change your life (in which case you will love it) or it won't (in which case you won't.)

Your response to the book depends on your attitude. The content is drawn from a small group study session guided by Dallas Willard. He's a biblical philosopher. Those who have known him (I've talked to some of them) will tell you that he comes very close to living by his own philosophy.

Do you really want to live your life by the promises in the 23rd psalm? Surprisingly, it's practical and possible. But it's not easy. Simple, but not easy. Can you learn to forgive? To love? To invite Christ into everything you do, every day? Do you dare to want to?

Maybe you're just curious. It will be a hard book to read, but it will be a thought-provoking book. Are you really trying to live a Christian life, and discouraged that you can't really do it? Then this book is a must-read. It will give you a path that puts a Christ-filled life in the realm of possibility.

Every Christian should at least try to become familiar with this book. It will give you a picture of what a relationship with Jesus is like. Do you dare?

Great book

I really like Dallas Willard and everything he has written. Thank you for this book

A clear portrayal of a vision of living like Christ and also practical ways to live it out!

I liked the hope He brings that I can live the live I was created to live and thus fulfill my calling and the destiny I am here to fulfill by God's grace and power.

Faith, Trust in Jesus - most inspiring book ever

Life without lac is truly the most faith strengthening, enlightening books I have ever read. Dallas Willard’s insights and theological wisdom are extraordinary. Jesus shine his divine light through each chapter.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to experience love, peace, and joy through a more intimate real relationship with God.

Yes!! This IS possible! Take the journey…

I am grateful for this beautiful compilation that affirms my journey toward a life without lack. The peace, provision, love and care from Jesus. The special relationship I continue to protect and invest in. I have felt lack of understanding from those who are unable to fully ‘see me’. This book has opened my eyes to the natural progression I have already been living. I feel sooo seen by God and affirmed in His guidance over my life. Please listen and believe that all of this is possible!! And if you are already living it out…you are not alone! Blessings upon each person who dives into this lovely journey!

It Was Alright

I thought the book would get more into specifically showing you how to believe God for financial provision, but it was more of a global sufficiency. The author definitely seemed to live in what he preached.

Insightful

I loved it. Wonderful for those who want a better life in Christ. You will want to read it again and again.
