Concise Theology
by J.I. Packer
Same format as Sproul's Essential Truths... Might work well for family devotions.

 
The Doctrine of God
by John M. Frame
Excellent analysis of God's attributes by a fair, clear and profound theologian.

 
Essential Truths of the Christian Faith
by R.C. Sproul
Hits all the major topics in short, two- to three-page chapters. Excellent introduction to theology.

 
Foundations of the Christian Faith
by James Montgomery Boice
Good introduction for those not used to theological reading. This will acquaint you with all the major doctrines and excite you to read more.

 
Institutes of the Christian Religion
by John Calvin
Systematic and analytical, but warm and pastoral too. Regarded as one of the greatest theological writings in the history of the church.

 
Know the Truth
by Bruce Milne
Quite small compared to the other systematics listed here, but would serve as a good introduction to major theological views.

 
Systematic Theology
by Louis Berkhof
Classic reformed systematic theology used in seminaries. Writing is rather dry and academic, but provides helpful contrasts between Reformed and other theological viewpoints.

 
Systematic Theology
by Wayne Grudem
Extremely helpful treatment of major theological topics, from a Reformed Baptist perspective.
