I wish I had time to write a decent post. Lacking time, I'll try to be concise. If you want to really understand the benefits of TDD, the best book I know on the subject is actually Michael Feathers, "Working Effectively with Legacy Code". It is rather dense and getting a bit dated, but by showing you what you need to do to improve legacy code in a methodical fashion, he provides the basis for learning how to do good TDD.
