Publisher's summary

With over one million copies sold, New York Times best seller The Circle Maker is a must-listen for revolutionizing your prayer life. Get ready to experience new breakthroughs, knowing that bold prayers honor God and God honors bold prayers.

Do you ever sense that there's far more to prayer than what you're experiencing? Are you praying over your impossible dreams and greatest fears? Do you feel like something is holding you back in your prayer life?

It's time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker. When his land was drought-stricken in ancient times, Honi ha-M'agel drew a circle in the sand, stepped inside it, and wouldn't budge until God answered his petition for rain. Honi's story transformed author Mark Batterson's own experience with prayer and inspired him to document his journey to praying more powerful prayers in The Circle Maker.

Sharing inspiring stories from modern-day circle makers as well as his own experiences, Mark imparts the timeless wisdom and encouragement you need to:

  • Discern God's will for your life
  • Uncover your heart's hidden desires
  • Pursue God-sized dreams
  • Connect with God in fresh ways
  • Deepen your faith and your relationship with prayer
  • Draw prayer circles around your family, your community, your challenges, and your dreams

The Circle Maker includes insights about the ways that God answers prayer along with stories that add convincing proof to the reality that God is able to do exceedingly far greater than all we could ask or imagine.

Learn for yourself that drawing prayer circles around our dreams isn't just a way that we accomplish great things for God - it's a way that God accomplishes great things in us.

INSPIRING!

I cannot say enough good about this book. It inspired me, shamed me, and makes me want to get down on my knees inside of a circle of glory and honor to God. This book has changed my life, and will change yours. It will do so because it will open you up to the power and promises of God.

Great book for thinking bigger!

I love this book it really helps you to understand the idea of thinking bigger for your life. I used to feel like wanting more just meant that I was ungrateful for what I have but Mark Batterson tells us why we NEED to go for great things and NEED big goals in our lives to truly grow to our God given potential and to honor Him.
