Mark Batterson encourages readers to take their prayer lives to a
new level that will honor the mighty power of God. Like the man who
made prayer circles for rain, we are to make bold prayers for
things that seem impossible. Through the stories of modern-day
prayer miracles, you will be inspired to draw prayer circles around
your family, friends, and yourself. The Circle Maker teaches that
God is for you and that the big dreams you claim in your prayers
will be reflected in the way you live your life.
*Pastor Matthew Barnett, co-founder of the Dream Center*
Mark Batterson has hit the nail on the head in The Circle Maker! He
clearly and practically lays out what prayer looks like and the
powerful results that come from a bold prayer life.
*Pete Wilson, author of Plan B*
Mark Batterson is a master story teller. His stories illustrate
important biblical truths that convict me in my heart and make me
hunger for a closer walk with God. The Circle Maker is such a
story. I have changed the way I pray--longing for a more powerful
and effective prayer life. I am now drawing circles.
*Ruth Graham, author of Fear Not Tomorrow, God is Already
There*
Mark Batterson is one of the most brilliant and engaging writers on
the planet. I love the way he both challenge and encourages his
audience through the written word. The Circle Maker isn't just a
book full of really good ideas and catchy phrases; it's a concept
that, if applied, could totally change the way we walk with
God.
*Perry Noble, senior pastor of NewSpring Church *
Mark Batterson's The Circle Maker will have you praying circles
around any situation you are facing. You'll be inspired and
motivated into a deeper level of prayer and faith.
*Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of Life.Church and author of Weird:
Because Normal Isn’t Working*
Mark is one of those favored few who dig a little deeper into the
Word, consistently finding truths that are sometimes surprising and
always challenging.
*Frank Wright, Ph.D. president and CEO of D. James Kennedy
Ministries *
My bookshelves at home are littered with books I intended to read
but never finished. Mark doesn't write those kind of books. Mark
writes books that demand a second and even third reading, because
there's always something new to find. With The Circle Maker, Mark
has done it again.
*Jon Acuff, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Quitter and
Stuff Christians Like*
My friend Mark Batterson has a way of always drawing us close to
the heart of God through his writing. In his latest book, The
Circle Maker, he shows us how through prayer we can enjoy sitting
at the table of heaven's boardroom.
*Pastor Rich Wilkerson, founder of Peacemakers and senior pastor of
Trinity Church in Miami, Florida*
What's your Jericho? What promise does God want desperately to
shower upon you--if you but ask? The Circle Maker gives you
timeless wisdom for claiming God's promises, pursuing dreams, and
changing the world.
*Dr. George O. Wood, general superintendent, The General Council of
the Assemblies of God*
Without a doubt Mark Batterson is a voice to our generation and one
of my favorite authors. The Circle Maker will inspire us to dare to
pray the kind of prayers that will change us and the world around
us. When we pray, we move God, and when God is moved, he moves
mountains. This book reminds us of the most important key for
unlocking the God-dream inside.
