The Circle Maker, by Mark Batterson

What a great book, by a new author to me.  I kept downloading samples of Mark Batterson's books, unaware that they were all by the same guy.  (Duh.)  When I put two and two together I decided to read one, and I'm glad I began with his new one, just published this year.

I have always struggled so much with prayer, for dozens of reasons.  This book has immensely helped me, though, and has given me a lot of hope.  It has helped me with some current personal crises, and I pray that others read it and gain the same new understanding.

Mark Batterson is the lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC, one of the most innovative churches in the USA.  I just bought Pastor Batterson's first book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, today at Half-Price Books, and can't wait to read it too.
