Draw the Circle

One I could read again and again. So good. Draws you to the feet of Jesus and encourages your heart and soul.

While I do differ theologically with Batterson on a few things I must admit that this book opened my mind and the members of the church I pastor towards expanding the possibilities and depth of prayer. It is a journey of expansive faith.

What a great book we did an entire study. Check it out great topics.

Great devotional, highly recommend

Encouraging! A good book on praying and seeking without giving up. I enjoyed it and will read it again.

This book is incredible! It doesn't exactly tell you what to pray besides "ask God what you should pray about." It's not a grocery list approach. I thought the chapters would be different prayer prompts. I am glad to say I was wrong. I have a father who does not know the Lord. So I pray for that, and there's another long /ongoing prayer about the guy I will marry. I already know him, but it's complicated. Basically, this book challenged me and encouraged me and confirmed things I'm already doing. And how God works... Even my Bible in a Year plan lined up with it! How is that even possible? God knows timing. I feel like God did that to remind me and make it SO clear to trust His divine timing for my Dad to come to Jesus and when I get to see my love again. The life examples in this book are crazy and awesome and such how God works! And if you got all the things you wanted right away, how would that glorify God? We do have to be persistent was persevere, like Paul says to count good even the trials. I have new views on physically being on my knees in prayer now. It's not about old school ways or anything anymore. It helps your heart posture. It isn't a necessity bc you can still pray eyes open and drive, but it really pushes you, and it has added humility if you've to an age/season that kneeling and getting up can take some time. Anyways, it's top notch in gleaning new things on how, where, for who, and when to pray. and big things says specific things can really glorify God. I love this.

The book is excellent, but I was very disappointed that it took me almost a month to receive it.

I recently completed "Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge," and it has truly been a transformative experience! This book guides you through a prayer journey that not only deepens your relationship with God but also helps you to see His hand in every aspect of your life. Each day's challenge is thoughtfully crafted, encouraging you to pray boldly and with intention. The personal stories and scripture references are incredibly inspiring, providing both comfort and motivation. I found myself experiencing moments of clarity and peace that I hadn’t felt before. The actionable steps helped me to create a consistent prayer life, and the community aspect (joining local groups using this book) added an extra layer of support. If you are looking to strengthen your faith and enhance your prayer life, I can't recommend "Draw the Circle" enough. It's a journey worth taking, and the impact will last far beyond the 40 days. Grab a journal, prepare your heart, and get ready for a life-changing adventure!

Bought one for me and one for my husband. We pray together. Helps you in daily prayer and a more meaningful prayer life. Great read. When finished we intend on passing these books on to other people to enrich their prayer life.

I used it with the journal.

A must read! Short, easy to understand and powerful chapters. Our Life Group did it in 40 weeks! Plenty to discuss each week! Each chapter an encouragement to draw closer in our relationship with the Lord through prayer. This is one of those books one hoped would not end so soon.

Just coming to the end of my prayer circle challenge with a group and have really enjoyed this book! Really great read! The chapters are short but impactful and the storytelling is wonderful. I’m looking forward to doing a prayer circle again.

…..And prayer Changing. I have enjoyed sitting in this 40 day challenge of. Prayer circles, life will never be the same in my relationship with Jesus.
