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.

Great book!

Easy to follow and great content. The author discribes in easy to unstand language how to pray circles around something that needs to be answered. Definitely worth it!

Answering the call to publish

This book both encouraged me and challenges me to pray BIG with circling my prayers until they come to pass. I am currently writing a book. It wasn't by chance that as I was hearing this audio book that my Pastor told me on last Tuesday as I was fasting/praying about the book that I got an immediate answer: "God has given you the green light to go ahead and write your book and don't worry about the finances--God will do it. It's not about you. It's for you to help advance the kingdom." I am on assignment to do this. I was greatly encouraged as well by the stories and confirmation that I got from this book. Thank you and God bless you Pastor Batterson.

Inspired

Loved it. Dynamic. Wish I had read this book in my early 20's. It really sets a platform in order for you to honor God in all that you do and helps to put it all together while staying well rounded. God creates miracles each and every day, some little and some pretty large but you have to be willing ask God for them. God loves to amaze us and show us what He can do when He is asked from our own free will.

excellent read!

mark is motivational and engaging and made me think about what my aspirations are and how to pray over those. He also made me think about my desires for my children and family and how to draw circles of prayer around them. Really good read and truly inspiring.

A MUST listen

It was powerful and gave practical steps on how to pray circles around your life. It is so much more enjoyable when the author reads their own book
