KCStinton: I have been a Christian for over 40 years. I have never read a book (other than the Bible) that has impacted my life more. My prayer life has changed, I have changed. God is more real to me than ever. I have thanked him over and over for allowing this later stage of my life to become the best years of my life.

Tina: We read this book while we built (and circled) our house. And the house has been built, we’ve seen miracles for the last 6 months making payments on time. I felt the love of God reading it. I felt inspired reading it. And when I need a boost in faith to trust in what God has in store for me, I know where to go!

Aura_Ella: This book came at the right time when I was struggling with my faith. Life overwhelmed me, and I wondered where God was in all of this. Then, a preacher talked about the legend of the CircleMaker, and God brought this book to me. I am so deeply encouraged. The teachings Pastor Mark shared transformed my life in a week! God is so good! This book was an answer to prayer!! Double blessing!!

IK: I don't often take the time to write book reviews, but I just had to for this one. I picked it up last Summer in the States when the cover kind of leapt off the shelf at me. God had been challenging me on what dreams I was actually pursuing in my life, and has also been challenging me on the level of prayer in my life - and this book covered both issues. When I read it, though, I was totally blown away. Mark is a very good writer - accessible and easy to read, but with simply loads of encouraging stories about how he has seen God move in his life and that of National Community Church as they have "dreamed big and prayed hard". It really lifts your faith - and definitely does not make you feel guilty about historic failures to push through in prayer. i loved it, gave it to my wife who felt the same, then have been buying it for everyone we know. A truly amazing read, and quite simply has been life-changing for us - and I do not say that lightly, at all. Wonderful book! The follow-on  Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge  is a good way of cementing some of the content into your everyday life, too!

Amazon Customer: I am glad I did not take the negative reviews posted here seriously and decided to get this book anyway... to say that the book is "unscriptual" or "unbiblical" is highly questionable as Mark Batterson gives time and time again scriptural references to back up what he says -
If you know you serve a God who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond all that you could ask or think and that He loves you with a passion enough to die for you for... if you can't think of anything else, then to me that is a good enough reason & a promise that you can circle and believe for.
This book is not purporting to be one of those "get rich quick" schemes or fancy notions of doing some fancy action 3 times a day to make God move into action on our behalf because of the repetition; it is simply saying, your faith CAN move mountains, if you come into AGREEMENT with HIS plan and purpose for your life!!!

mavo: Honi the Circle Maker was a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not budge from inside it until God answered his prayers for his people. What impossibly big dream is God calling you to draw a prayer circle around? I learned some great quotes about prayer.
Prayer primes your heart.
We live in an ellipsis when we are waiting for God to answer a prayer, but 100 percent of the prayers I don't pray won't get answered.
Kneeling is the most powerful position on earth. Daniel never stopped dreaming big or praying hard because that's what prophets do. Daniel stopped, dropped and prayed three times a day.
Don't always do small, timid prayers. Don't just brainstorm, praystorm.
Focus on the footnotes, God will write the headline.
After you pray through, praise through.
A heavyweight prayer bout with God is how the greatest victories are won.
Our society overvalues 15 minutes of fame and underplays eternal life.

I became fascinated with his discussion on James Cash Penney who started off giving 10 percent of his income away and ended with giving away 90 percent away and living on 10 percent. Penney said, Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I will...
