I’m thrilled to be sharing with you about a brand new Christian Juvenile Fiction book series written by Mark Batterson! If you have read my blog for any amount of time, you know that prayer is a big deal to me. I have even shared about Mark Batterson’s book, Praying Circles Around the Lives of Your Children
before, by sharing the Christmas gift I gave to my children after reading this book.
I did not realize until recently that Mark was the author of a NEW series of books for middle schoolers and upper elementary students! Jack Staples and the Ring of Time is the first book in this series!
Keep reading for your chance to win a copy of Praying Circles Around the Lives of Your Children AND the first book in the Jack Staples series!
Jack Staples series by Mark Batterson & Joel Clark
About the book: Eleven-year-old Jack’s ordinary life is upended when mysterious creatures attack his hometown and he is whisked into a fantastical adventure filled with danger at every turn.
Jack learns that most live in a shadow of the world, their vision blinded by invisible scales that have covered human eyes since the beginning of time. But the Awakened experience the world as it truly is, where war rages between good and evil—and Jack is at the heart of it. The Awakened are searching for The Child of Prophesy who will both save the world and destroy it. When Jack joins in their epic battle he must learn to trust his friends and face his fears if he is to make his life count.
The second book in this series is called Jack Staples and the City of Shadows and just came out this month!
Praying Circles Around the Lives of Your Children
When I finished this book, I immediately added it to my list of 8 Books for Praying Moms. I loved this book. I especially loved the practical ideas for praying with vision and Scriptures for our children!

My kids would enjoy the fictional book because they are big readers, and we are always looking into new series for them.
The Praying Circles book would be great for me because I’d love some focus in my prayers for kids.
I would love to win this book, I read your post about this book and it is on my list of books to read for 2015.

I would love to improve my prayers for my children and this books sounds like a great encouragement. As a couple are entering different stages of life, my prayers and their needs are very different. The books for children sound like a great read-aloud for my boys!

I’d love to win, since praying circles around my children is not at out local library!
I would love these books! My one word for 2015 is PEACE and I am finding that prayer is a huge part of how I’m gaining peace. Also, my 10 year old loves to read and is also a very fast reader so I am always on the lookout for new books for him! Thanks 🙂

I would love to read this as right now half of my children are in China, waiting to know that they have a family ️praying and loving them; the other 2 are in the bedroom next to mine. Such a difference already in the ways and things I pray for them. Would love to learn and see new ways I could be praying for my children.

I have heard great things about his circle books but haven’t had a chance to read them yet so I would love my own copy to linger over.

Candace,
I’d love it if my daughter could win this, she and I enjoy reading SO very much, and we have never won anything. So if you pick us you’ll hear us screaming from Rutledge…lol
