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

" This book has inspired me continue with the dreams God has put in my heart. "

" A great book - at a suspiciously good time (not a coincidence). An awesome way to kick off my prayer-themed year. "

" This author made some excellent points and gave a lot to think about but was a bit repetitive. "

" Sometimes you read a certain book at exactly the right time. The Circle Maker was one of those books. Written by my pastor, Mark Batterson, this book not only provides amazing insight into the rather miraculous origins of DC's National Community Church, but also offers a revolutionary way to think about prayer -- especially praying for The Big Things in life, and particularly when those Big Things don't seem to be happening the way you want them to, or according to your timeline. Will probably be re-reading sections of this for a while. "

" Very Very Good...items worth putting into practice. A Good and entertaining/informative read. "

" One of THE best books i have read...really set me on fire with prayer!! "

" Great book! Mark really challenges your prayer life. I know for me, it's revolutionized my prayer life. It's full of practical advice, great stories about history and his church planting experience. LOVED IT! "

" Fresh inspiration for one's prayer life! I highly recommend this book. Very readable. Not dry or boring at all. He goes beyond "simply" prayer with an integrated approach to how it touches and is interwoven with all other aspects of life. In the final chapters Batterson goes into goal setting and how it functions with prayer as well. Thus, if one follows his suggestions, it will change your life in many spheres. "

" Powerful book on prayer. Walks a fine line between trusting God and praying for prosperity. A great reminder tho on what can happen when we do get on our knees and truly trust God for his provision. "

" Sold book. Solid read. But if you can read only one chapter - read chapter 15 "

" A great book to remind you of the necessity and power of prayer, it is also very convicting about having prayer being central to your relationship with the Lord. "

" Loved the Mach 1 illustration about praying through. This book encouraged my prayer life and my habit of journaling. Thanks Mark Batterson. "

" Only the best book I've read all year. Maybe even to this point in my life. Mark walks a perfect balance of faith and prayer. He never crosses over into the name it and claim it gospel. It came at a perfect time in my life. Read it! And then, read it again. "

" A wonderful guide on prayer life!! Given to me by a neighbor who knew we are going through hard times to make my life better by prayer. One of the best gifts I've been given. "

" While some of the examples of making circles are stretched (quail in the desert, etc.) I was very inspired to to pray a LOT more specifically. And the stories really did help to enlarge my vision of our almighty GOD and what we can accomplish when we are fully surrendered to HIM and dreaming BIG. "

" Great book. Loved the personal stories throughout and the encouragement to pray for all things, especially to align my prayers with God's will. "

" An excellent book for those who wish to pray with more faith, persistence and patience. "

" One of my all time favorite reads. Will change your approach to prayer!! "

" I am having a difficult time with this book. The three circles idea is used in witchcraft, which Christians are told to flee from. Its more of "if you believe, it will come true" type book. "

" A fantastic book to spur one on to a bigger and bolder prayer life. I just love Batterson's conversational and honest writing style! "

" The legacy of the Circle Maker was interesting and the testimonies of answered prayers were encouraging. In general the information about prayer was not new to me. "

" Challenging book on trusting prayers. Great illustrations of God's faithfulness. Made me wonder if I really knew how to pray. "

" Amazing book about prayer! Must read for everyone with a dream! "

" A good read regarding prayer. "

" Incredible book. I highly recommend this book as it will spur you on to pray bold prayers. Batterson's stories will stir a desire deep within you to believe that our God "can do." This is by far the best book I've read in a very long time. "

" Great book! One that I will refer to often and reread in the future. "

" Short book but a good read. "

" I absolutely loved this book. I made several highlights and I'm eager to go back and look at them. I've already started implementing some of the changes that Pastor Mark talks about. God is not offended by the size of our dreams!! "
