Join renowned philosopher Dallas Willard as he shares the biblically-backed secret to living with true contentment, peace, and security. In Life Without Lack , 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...Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." Written with Willard's characteristic gentle wisdom, Life Without Lack helps you experience: God's comforting presence God's abundant generosity Peace and freedom from worry 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 experience the most well-known passage in all of Scripture. Praise for Life Without Lack : "Dallas Willard helps us to understand that the Twenty-Third Psalm is not meant as a nice sentiment or for kitschy decor, it is for the very thick of our lives, the very moment of crisis. Imagine what our personal lives, families, communities, and politics would look like if we rejected the frantic striving of our day, and instead embraced the life without lack offered to us in Jesus Christ. No one has helped me to imagine and enter into that life more than Dallas Willard. I recommend this book with great joy and hopeful expectation." --Michael Wear, bestselling author of Reclaiming Hope Review: A wonderful meditation on the 23rd psalm - I'm a bit tough on Christian books because most of them are so padded it's kind of sad. Not to say they're bad, anyway it's a genre I suppose. (Not really talking about more classical works) Now within that genre well what I would consider Christian and spiritual books there are always writers who stand out. In this case I think this was posthumously written by someone based on Dallas Willard's notes if I remember correctly. Dallas Willard was a professor of philosophy so the critical thinking is at a very high level which I think everyone can appreciate. This book is very accessible and I think that is an amazing job with the 23rd psalm, which is a small portion of scripture that you can unlock for the rest of your life. I recommend most of Dallas Willard stuff. The contemplative level of writing and thinking is very enjoyable. Review: Excellent book for spiritual growth - Life Without Lack is a book to be savored. One could read straight through it quickly, as I did for the sake of reviewing it, but I wouldn't recommend that. I will definitely be rereading it and this time slowly, taking the time to meditate on the wisdom presented and to implement some of the ideas. For example, Dallas Willard started out by recommending that readers memorize and meditate on Psalm 23. I honestly wasn't sure I was interested in a book on Psalm 23. I felt overly familiar with that Psalm, but this book really has.a lot to offer whether you are a person who memorized the Psalm as a child or whether its your first time reading it. Dallas Willard's gentle wisdom is refreshing and encouraging. In chapter 8, Dallas helps the reader plan to spend a day with Jesus. But he isn't helping the reader plan a retreat. This is a day with Jesus in your very ordinary schedule, inviting Him along with you and spending the day together. These are just some of the ideas with which I would like to spend more time and actually implement in my life. I also had concern over whether I could offer this book to the men and women at the homeless shelter where I served. Their lives are filled with palpable lack. How would this book play there? Dallas is aware of these concerns for all of us who experience lack in one way or another in our lives and he addresses these concerns adeptly. From chapter 1, "Whereas King David wrote, The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," Paul wrote, "not that I speak in regard to need." They both knew the provision of God that became for them a life without lack. "But how could Paul say that? This man has been dragged through every jailhouse in the Roman Empire. Several times we find him bobbing in the ocean, trying to survive shipwrecks. It makes me want to say, "What do you mean, you don't have any wants? Couldn't you use a boat?" He would respond, "Well sure I'll take a boat, but I don't really have to have it, you understand?"" I'm not there yet, but reading this makes me eager for the day when I can say that I'm living a life without lack. I'm looking forward to implementing Willard's suggestions for growth in this area of my life. *I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher. (and then purchased a hard copy because I liked it so much) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,277 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Christian Poetry (Books) #243 in Christian Personal Growth #290 in Christian Spiritual Growth (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,470 Reviews | ## Images ![Life Without Lack: Living in the Fullness of Psalm 23 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ZvQXgbOyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful meditation on the 23rd psalm *by R***W on October 26, 2025* I'm a bit tough on Christian books because most of them are so padded it's kind of sad.

Actually, this book was written at Dr. Willard's request to cover a series of lectures he gave but could not find enough time to convert them into a book form. Regardless, it is well written, organized and clear to understand. Chapter 5 is my favorite regarding faith as it develops through 3 levels plus the tie-in with Psalm 23. ## Frequently Bought Together - Life Without Lack: Living in the Fullness of Psalm 23 - The Scandal of the Kingdom: How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God - The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/110066914-life-without-lack-living-in-the-fullness-of-psalm-23](https://www.desertcart.us/products/110066914-life-without-lack-living-in-the-fullness-of-psalm-23) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
