We just spent the last three days driving to Renton, Washington, to my parents house to visit for a couple weeks and get me some new hearing aids (yup, I am hearing impaired in case you forgot… without my hearing aids I am good as deaf though not legally so – it is not a congenital issue nor from an accident or sickness or loud music, but one that occurred in the birthing process and wasn’t fully realized or discovered until I was 3 – it is from nerve damaged caused by lack of oxygen and cannot be operated on – All I can say about it is that in the end God’s grace towards me was to become hearing impaired instead of mildly mentally retarded. Also, so you know, I was mainstreamed into the regular classroom by the 3rd grade and since I “read” really well, I never learned much if any sign language. My parents have lived in the house since just before I was born, so it’s been 41 years now they have lived here.
So anyways, a friend came to know of my desire to get the new book Inductive Bible Study: A Comprehensive Guide to the Practice of Hermeneutics
As far as I am concerned, you can have all the theological training in the world and still not really have a strong handle on personal Bible study – and the same can be if you is unedjumacated. But den I know some unedjumacted folk who can study the Bible better than PhD’s… 
I know of nothing more important to give one self to than the reading and personal in-depth study of the Bible, and that precept upon precept, line by line. Yes, the inductive method takes a lot of time and effort, but it is worth it and it is not too hard (you can learn (to do) nearly anything in 15 minutes a day if you put in the work). Really, I think it is central to everything else!
