2. The Circle Maker
Mark Batterson

Do you ever sense there's far more to prayer than what you're experiencing? It's time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker. When his land was drought-stricken in ancient times, Honi ha-M'agel drew a circle in the sand, stepped inside it, and wouldn't budge until God answered his petition for rain.
