Great reads from "Gospel Coalition"

Please read How Preachers Read the Bible for Themselves Doriani quotes B. B. Warfield. "A minister must be both learned and religious. It is not a matter of choosing between the two. He must study, but he must study as in the presence of God and not in a secular spirit. He must recognize the privilege of pursuing his studies in the environment where God and salvation from sin are the air he breathes. He must also take advantage of every opportunity for corporate worship. . . . Ministerial work without taking time to pray is a tragic mistake. The two must combine if the servant of God is to give a pure, clear, and strong message."

This is good too. The Love That Is Neither Easy Nor Natural. Eric Raymond writes that we settle for the kind of love that comes easy and miss out on the kind of love that takes sweat (and grace).

Also, How to Combat the Demonic. I like his Charles Spurgeon quote. “The preaching of Christ is the whip that flogs the Devil.”

Finally, a book is recommended. The Presence of God: It's Place in the Storyline of Scripture and the Story of Our Lives.  The author quotes Psalm 16:11, "In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
