Life Without Lack

Life Without Lack: Living in the Fullness of Psalm 23 (Thomas Nelson, 2018; 224 pages) was published after Dallas Willard's death from a series of his talks on the twenty-third psalm, edited by his friend Larry Burtoft, who wrote the preface, and his daughter Rebecca Willard Heatley. Willard reads the psalm not as a comforting sentiment but as a description of a real way of living under God's care, without need or fear, and presents the practice of living in God's presence as the way into it. The book has eight chapters, which take up the nature of God, why evil and lack exist, trust, death to self, and love. The talks behind it are available as an eight-part audio series on the Willard family's site.
