I have tried to read a couple Mark Batterson books in the past. A few years ago, I picked up "In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day" and got a few pages in. A couple years ago I tried to read "Radical" and was enjoying it a few a pages in. I never made it far into either of them. No offense, Mr. Batterson, if you ever happen to read this. I think I probably abandoned them for novels I could lose myself in during my brief moments of Mommy-Free-Time.
Had "The Circle Maker" not come recommended to me by a close friend, and then by my mom, I wouldn't have even picked it up. I am SO GLAD I did! It took me about a week to read it. I was doing so much underlining and jotting notes in the margins, that it took me longer than usual to read a book. I also didn't want to rush through it but really soak in the words I was reading.
There were so many verses and stories that really spoke to my heart and I think that last week was the perfect time for me to read this. I won't give details because I think you should go out and read it yourself. You won't be disappointed.
