This was an excellent book that got me thinking about prayer differently. It challenged me to be specific with my prayers and made me dig deeper into my daily prayer time.
It also helped me to dream bigger and build my faith.
Our whole church was doing this study, and I genuinely believe it impacted our church.

It was not a good study book for me. I had the companion book with it and I liked it better than this by far. I rarely ever give anything less than 4 stars, because I usually know what I like and am usually good at picking my books out. I was wrong with this one. I just wanted something more.

I loved this book and I will go through the challenge again at some point. There are great principles and stories to illustrate them. Each day was a bite sized piece of the challenge. It has made my prayer life richer and bolder.

Excellent. Read this through 2 times 2 years apart. Led a Bible study through it this year.
So much to think about.

A great book to guide you through Draw the Circle. I recommend answering these questions with a group.
