Listen now | In The Circle Maker, Mark Batterson reaches deep into an ancient Jewish Book of Legends to extract the story of Honi, an eccentric sage who lived outside the walls of Jerusalem just prior to the birth of Jesus.

First, his prayers result in a tiny sprinkle of rain, then a torrent and finally a gentle shower.
