A dramatic legend about an ancient Jew named Honi, who saw God miraculously move to save a generation, is the backdrop of Mark Batterson’s new book, The Circle Maker. Batterson explains how God showed up when Honi drew a prayer circle around himself, refusing to move until he saw God change his circumstances. Batterson builds on three tenets of prayer-circle drawing: dreaming big, praying and thinking long. “Despite what skeptics may say, God is not offended by your big dreams or bold prayers. He is offended by anything less,” Batterson writes.
