Summary

Bold Prayers Honor God and God Honors Bold Prayers.

With over one million copies sold, New York Times bestseller The Circle Maker is a must-read for experiencing breakthroughs in your prayer life.

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.

Mind bending book

Loved it!
Although a complex subject, Mark managed very well to break it down and keep it interesting all the way through.
It is not just a book, it is a golden nugget for everyone that choses to believe.
I am forever grateful to have had the chance to listen to it in the voice of the author himself.
Blessings!

Outstanding

Batterson uses personal and researched anecdotes to effectively communicate the power of prayer. Really powerful in its ability to comfort. Really powerful in its ability to convict.

Awesome Legacy Book

This book is not just beautifully written with awesome examples, it caused me to thirst & reach for more of God. I’ve read it several times & listened to it once, & every time my spirit picks up something new for the particular season I’m in. I now have it as a goal for each of my children to read this book or I read it with them. His other book Chase the Lion is also hair-raising & drives you to the next level.

Inspirational and tear producing

What an amazing book - Mark Batterson gives an impassioned performance of his works and it suits audio format perfectly.

I've always struggled with creating a rhythm of prayer but this has totally reinvigorated my prayer life and changed my perspective on my life goals and dreams.

A must listen for any Christian young or old in their faith.

Only God...
