Saving Grace, by John Cheeseman, from the great Banner of Truth press! This book contains very helpful explanations of each of the 5 points of Calvinism and also answers common objections to them, providing many, many Scriptural references.

Sproul's "Grace Unknown" is a good overview of Reformed theology re: salvation, but I don't know how much overlap it has with "What is Reformed Theology?"

If you want to know more about the 5 Points of Calvinism I'd recommend Loraine Boettner's "The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination". It's biggish, but it's a clear, thoughtful, accessible book. In fact it's on-Web, but I've found the need to buy paper copies to get the full effect, reading it straight through.

Louis Berkhof's "Summary of Christian Doctrine" is a brief blurb on many theological points from a Reformed perspective.

For a first cut into probing the depths of Reformed doctrine, John Murray's "Redemption Accomplished and Applied" is a masterful little book introducing the divisions or "order" of salvation.

Books? How pre-2000!

Try www.monergism.com There are quite a few dead links, but countless great ones that deal with the Reformed faith.

Also try listening to www.whitehorseinn.org. Some find them a bit over the top, but I think they are right on in their observations. Their sister site is for print articles is http://www.modernreformation.org/
