NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD! Get ready to make new breakthroughs in your prayer life, knowing that bold prayers honor God and God honors bold prayers. Do you ever sense that there’s far more to prayer than what you’re experiencing? It’s time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker–a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not budge from inside it … budge from inside it until God answered his impossible prayer for his people.
Sharing inspiring stories from modern-day circle makers plus his own experiences, Mark Batterson will help you:
- Discern God’s will as the first step to a healthy prayer life
- Uncover your heart’s deepest desires
- Pursue God-sized dreams
- Connect with God in fresh ways
- And, ultimately, draw prayer circles around your family, your job, your problems, and your goals
This expanded edition of The Circle Maker also includes insights on how 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.
“Drawing prayer circles around our dreams isn’t just a mechanism whereby we accomplish great things for God,” he says. “It’s a mechanism whereby God accomplishes great things in us.”
Also available: The Circle Maker Spanish edition, prayer journal, student and kids’ editions, parent editions, small group studies, video curriculum, and more.

This is a book that I heard about a few years ago, but dismissed it at the time. Recently, I had been reading another book by Dr. David Jeremiah and I suggested it to a friend. He thanked me for the heads-up and suggested that I look into “Circle Maker.” It is a uniques story about a young preacher that fails at starting a new church in Chicago …
I love the story of Honi. This book taught me how to pray, what to pray, and who to pray for. It taught me to have bold dreams and expect them to happen. I am a Circle Maker. I dream big, pray hard, think long, and will keep circling.
Great book! It was very motivating and something I wanted to just keep reading and read again.
Best book on prayer I have ever read
This book gave us some great information & inspiration for our children & grandchildren. Ways to pray for them & also for my husband & I to draw closer to God.
There’s some really good points, but a TON of fluff. The author repeats himself a lot, talks about the same types of stories all the time, and often makes prayer sound transactional. There’s also a lot of random mention of biblical stories but hardly any scripture actually embedded in the book.
A very narrow approach to prayer accessing God to answer our needs or the needs of others only. Much is extra-biblical and not well supported.
Loved it.
A most inspirational book. Powerful examples of allowing God to do His work. Great faith products great results.
This book helped me thru a difficult time.
This book positively changed the way I pray. Loved it!
Not recommended. Prosperity gospel
Excellent, informative, well written. Attended a study group where it was used.
Loved it!
Life changing book. Great author. After over a year, I am still referring back to this book.
This was a study we did at our church. Very inspirational and life changing.
I learned a lot by reading this. I pray for my children everyday and this book gave me more onsite to how to pray better for them
Our Circle used it for starting a 24 hours prayer chain. The videos were really great if you get a chance to see them.
Very thought provoking. You will be walking in prayer!
Awesome book to get you thinking
