We offer you these cards to help you think honestly and deeply about some of the most important questions of life: What is faith? What is morality? What is love? How can I form a good friendship? We’ve tried to give you answers that your heart would agree with and approve of. That’s important, because no matter what everyone else does, no matter what anyone else says, your God-given heart knows best.
Friends, these cards are for you. Use these cards to reconnect with your own heart’s knowing.

The Creation of the Cards for Living
The Cards for Living were created as a joint effort by a group of longtime friends who collaborated in writing and designing them. The Cards are not derived from any scripture or source material. They are the fruit of our lifelong effort to understand ourselves, life, love, and what it is to be human.
For years, we searched for answers, and we explored and discussed our ideas and findings together. In creating the Cards, we also relied on our personal relationships with God, and incorporated our Divine guidance as well as our group and individual experience. We put the highest and best of what we have learned into the Cards. It rings true in our hearts, and it has held up in our experience. We wrote the Cards to share what we had learned, to help others have more light and understanding as they find their way in this world.
We don't follow any organized religion or subscribe to any particular creed or scripture, although some of us had religious affiliations in the past. In choosing the topics for the Cards and their contents, we tried to cover the most essential areas of human life, and address the universal questions of the human heart.
We intentionally don't mention any of our names anywhere on the cards. We don't have any special authority or credentials; we're sharing the truth that we have learned, for others to consider and test for themselves in their own lives. The Cards stand for themselves. You can "sample" as many as you want for free on this website, print them out, and use whatever you find helpful.
We give the Cards away for free on the website, and sell printed sets at cost. We hope as many people as possible find them and benefit from them. If you appreciate them, please share them with others.
