The Circle Maker

(review by Julie)
 My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

A good friend gave me The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson after she'd read it herself. She's an experience prayer warrior and she found it encouraging and challenging. Overall, I LOVED this book. I do have to admit though, that there were numerous times that I had to set the book down in the middle of the chapter and ask God, "Wow! Seriously? Do you work like that? Does prayer work like that?"  The book really challenges you to pray harder and longer for the promises that God gives you. It some ways there's nothing new about it, but in other ways, it's completely revolutionized my view of prayer.  In the end, I've experienced a metamorphosis in my walk with God and I believe he did part of it through this book. So, thank you Mark Batterson for your faith and your prayer!
