The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears

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 lifeUncover your heart’s hidden desiresPursue God-sized dreamsConnect with God in fresh waysDeepen your faith and your relationship with prayerDraw prayer circles around your family, your community, your challenges, and your dreams

This updated and expanded edition of The Circle Maker also includes new 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.
