Patrick Fairbairn's work on Pastoral Theology, is in my opinion, the best book on the duties and callings of the Pastoral Office. It is unfortunately out-of-print, but you can find it on Google Books. I have began a practice of re-reading it twice yearly and wanted to share this quote:
"[Baxter] therefore justly notes it as a palpable inconsistence and grievous mistake in those Ministers who study hard to preach exactly, but study little, or not at all, to live exactly; who spend most of the week studying how to preach two hours, and scarcely spend an hour studying how to live all the week. Such conduct in the case of a popular preacher once met with a just reproof from a blunt English farmer, in the cutting remark, 'Sir, you light a bright candle on Sundays, and put it out all the week.'" -- Patrick Fairbairn, "Pastoral Theology", pg. 85-86
