CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is from a PCA church. It seems like a good list:
Decatur Presbyterian Church, P.C.A. Recommended Reading List
As is said though of the Bible. The best translation is the the one that you read. To me, the same holds true of Christian books (whether these books are broadly Christian or reformed). Best to stay, also, with the established works, so that you'll more easily recognize departures from orthodoxy.

From the official Orthodox Presbyterian Church site, check out: FREE eBooks
There you will see a title (the first one), "What Is the Reformed Faith? High Points of Calvinism". Hopefully this will help, if not so much, there be plenty more resources I can direct you to.
God bless

The Conductor
Χριστῷ συνεσταύρωμαι
If you want to get technical, the Message of Romans by John Stott is a pretty good commentary on Romans.

Try Gerrit Cornelis Berkouwer who was an observer at Vatican II. His Studies in Dogmatics are excellent.
