Synopsis

Pray Circles Around Your Greatest Dreams and Biggest Fears Prayer can sometimes be a frightening thing—how do you approach the maker of the world, and what exactly can you pray for? In this student adaptation of The Circle Maker, Pastor Mark Batterson uses the true legend of Honi the circle maker, a first-century Jewish sage whose bold prayer saved a generation, to uncover the boldness God asks of us at times, and what powerful prayer can mean in your life. Drawing inspiration from his own experiences as a circle maker, as well as sharing stories of young people who have experienced God’s blessings, Batterson explores how you can approach God in a new way by drawing prayer circles around your dreams, your problems, and, most importantly, God’s promises. In the process, you’ll discover this simple yet life-changing truth: God honors bold prayers; bold prayers honor God. And you’re never too young for God to use you for amazing things. Updated with discussion questions that tie to the Circle Maker video curriculum.

The Circle Maker opens with the story of Honi, a Hebrew sage from the generation before the birth of Christ, whose prayer, according to legend, resulted in the breaking of a severe drought, thereby saving the people of Israel from decimation. So great was his trust and reliance on God that he drew a......more

This book was eye-opening for me, and I've put a lot of it into practice. There were a lot of "coincidences" around my reading of the book that made it quite clear that Someone was trying to get my attention! Yes, I've read the reviews that mention Batterson's theology. I read the book carefully, and......more

Goodreads review by Debbi on December 29, 2012

"When you live by faith, it often feels like you are risking your reputation. You're not. You're risking God's reputation. It's not your faith that is on the line. It's His faithfulness. Why? Because God is the one who made the promise and He is the only one who can keep it. The battle doesn't belon......more
