Product Description

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, The Alliance 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"

About the Authors

A. W. TOZER began his lifelong pursuit of God at the age of seventeen after hearing a street preacher. He never attended high school or seminary—his spiritual understanding came from the power of the Word and the power of the Spirit. While serving as a pastor and magazine editor, he wrote prolifically about basic spiritual disciplines and their relationship to contemporary life. His powerful use of words continues to grip the intellect and stir the soul of today's reader.

HARRY VERPLOEGH was a compiler of many of the writings of A. W. Tozer, most notably: Success and the Christian, The Price of Neglect and Other Essays, The Set of the Sail, The Size of the Soul, and The Warfare of the Spirit.
