I found a couple of good books, Simply Rails 2 by Lenz is my favorite. Of course it's for Rails 2. You may have to wait for a while for the new crop of Rails 3 books to come out. Or try to update the examples to work in Rails 3.
Judging by your questions about template engines and user management, I'd recommend a more advanced book like The Rails Way. Other than that, try to build your own app. Nothing really works better than that.
