Life Without Lack

Living in the Fullness of Psalm 23

De: Dallas Willard

Narrado por: Wayne Campbell, Gabe Wicks

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?

I'll be listening to over many times!

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.

The Lord is my Shepherd.

This book found me at just the right time and speaks to one of my core fears. This book is structured around Psalm 23 and is intended to help readers go so deep in their love and trust of God that they live without lacking anything. Psalm 23 is one of my favorite passages and I have long pondered its meanings and content, but in this book, Willard provides many parallels, lessons, perspectives, and truths to layer on top of the core understanding I had. Willard walks through each line in depth and wisdom from a life of theology and counseling. He talks about faith and how to grow it. He talks about how to experience the presence of God in new and profound and practical ways. The book also explores letting go of anger and giving forgiveness. Finally, Willard describes how we can grow through the service of those close to us, always using Jesus as an example. One of my core fears is a scarcity mentality. This book speaks directly to the heart of that fear by giving me words and wisdom to focus on God who has always given me everything I need. He gives me so much security that I can serve others freely, even to the point of serving my enemies. This has started the growth of a profound peace for me in a world of chaos. Jason - thanks for this gift.

This is for the weary, searching, and disgruntled.

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!

Just Jesus, that’s all.

This book is must read for anyone seeking intimacy with God. It gives you a perspective of our big God. It encourages you to see yourself in a way that Jesus does and inspires you to be different because of the love we receive from Jesus,
