Life Without Lack: Living In The Fullness Of Psalm 23
by Dallas WillardLearn 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.

Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most

Lifeprints: Deciphering Your Life Purpose from Your Fingerprints
by Richard UngerUnique, unchanging, and formed five months before birth, fingerprints have been an accepted and infallible means of personal identification for a century. In LIFEPRINTS, Richard Unger presents a groundbreaking method of self-discovery and offers a daily compass for meaning and fulfillment. Combining the science of dermatoglyphics (the study of fingerprints and related line and hand shape designations) with the ancient wisdom of palmistry, the LifePrints system is a simple yet profoundly accurate means of mapping one's life purpose. Like examining an acorn to know what kind of oak tree may one day emerge, reading our fingerprints reveals who we are meant to become. A guide to discovering one's life purpose by decoding the map revealed in our unique combination of fingerprints. This new system is based on the author's 25 years of research and fingerprint statistics for more than 52,000 hands. Features step-by-step instructions for identifying the fingerprints and mapping the life lessons for reaching our full potential. Includes detailed case studies plus fingerprint readings for Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, Amelia Earhart, Walt Disney, Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King, Charles Manson, and others. Reviews"This 286 page find brings palm-reading to a whole new level. I was impressed and amazed at the way the author could first, present such a difficult concept in an easy manner, and then to explain it in such a way that it made perfect sense. I could just by following along with the simple step by step guidelines learn how a line here, or a length there could truly determine not only the path my life might take, but what means I would use to get it there. The archetypes were majorly fascinating.There were interesting graphs and charts throughout that helped to clarify the concepts being presented and it was done in such a way that just made sense. I will never look at my hands the same way again. The experience was very much like casting a horoscope for my fingers, especially when they gave examples of the lifeprints of famous people. I would recommend this interesting form of self discovery to anyone at any stage of their spiritual journey . Thanks Richard, for helping it all make sense.-Riki Frahmann www.planetstarz.com
