The Set of the Sail

Set of the Sail is a unique book that covers a vast array of topics.

The title, Set of the Sail, comes from A. W. Tozer's first essay in this collection, which is a compilation of editorial opinions from the magazine Tozer edited for decades, TheAlliance Weekly.

Tozer urges us to set our sails in the will of God, for then we will certainly find ourselves moving in the right direction, no matter which way the wind blows. These articles were all born in the midst of life, in the rough seas where the children of God's voyage about. Chapters include:

• "The Power of Silence"
• "Trying the Spirits"
• "What Profit is in Prayer?"
• "Faith Rests in God's Character"
• "The Blessedness of a Fixed Heart"
• "Our Business is God"
• "Communion of the Saints"
• And 35 more essays

A. W. Tozer (1897–1963) began his lifelong pursuit of God after hearing a street preacher in Akron, Ohio, at the age of seventeen. The self-taught theologian committed his life to the ministry of God’s Word as a pastor, teacher, and writer. For his flowing prose, Spirit-filled words, and deep conviction, many have called him a modern-day prophet. He is the author of the beloved classic The Pursuit of God and dozens of other works.
