Reading and knowing Gods word makes for the best foundation when seeking a more meaningful relationship with God in Christ Start with the Gospels and be patient when you read and meditate on what youve read by repeating it to yourself until you get understanding
My favorite proverb says Wisdom is the principal thing so therefore get Wisdom but in all your getting get Understanding
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

download that daily audio bible app on your phone. It reads the bible daily and if done daily will go over the whole bile in a years time. I listen to it every morning on my drive in to work.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Start with "The Story" One continuing story of God and his people. It is a chronological history of the Bible and hardback versions can be found on the internet for under $20. Synopsis here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10860921-the-story (sorry do not know how to make a link). No direct verse quotes, but a good overview and it helped me to understand what happened when.

This is why some of the smartest people I know pray for wisdom and understanding from God when they read the Bible. Without this, God's word can be turned around and used by Satan for his purposes also as we see often in today's world. Pray, read, digest what you read, and let God bring the message to you would be my advice. Remember, God didn't send his word to us so that only the intellectuals could understand it. It was sent to us for everyone to understand it but it does take His guidance to understand and grasp it in the proper context.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

First off, you need to be involved in Bible study within the body of your local church. Secondly, get a good commentary Bible from a solid Bible teacher. I have a John MacArthur NASB commentary Bible that is really good. Lastly, we can never know who God actually is if we don't read about who He is, as described in the Bible.

Get a different version than the King James Version. The worst advice that you could ever give. Get you a Scofield Study Bible. KJV

Enoch and Abraham never had a bible to read. Pretty sure theres other ways to get to know God. Of course you can just read about him though.

This is why most solid confessions start out establishing the sufficiency of scripture and of scripture alone. Enoch and Abraham lived in a time when God revealed himself in other ways. In the last days God has chosen to reveal himself through scripture. People can learn about God through other ways, such as through nature. But those ways are not sufficient sufficient for salvation. The following is from the Westminster Confession of Faith but the Second London Baptist Confession starts out almost identically: CHAPTER 1 Of the Holy Scripture 1. Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men unexcusable; yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of his will, which is necessary unto salvation. Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers manners, to reveal himself, and to declare that his will unto his church; and afterwards, for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing: which maketh the Holy Scripture to be most necessary; those former ways of God's revealing his will unto his people being now ceased.

Along with other suggestions, watch The Chosen. It really has helped me grow spiritually and relate to biblical stories/characters

So what youre saying is that absent a bible or a mans ability to read a bible, the Lord God of Heaven and creator of all things in this universe would be unable in the year 2022 to save a man or establish a relationship with that man? I absolutely 100% disagree. My God is much bigger than that.
