A Trial with Inductive Bible Study

Have you heard of Inductive Bible Study?  I first heard about it in a group I am in for clergy spouses.   Inductive Bible Study is an "investigative approach to the Bible using three basic components:  Observation, Interpretation and Application" ( http://precept.org/know-gods-word ) I was seeking a new way to study The Word that would bring me some further insight into the Bible itself v. just reading a story.  I had tried several times over the year to read the bible cover to cover.  I have several One Year Bibles and so many "plans" it is obnoxious.  The latest I ever got was to Psalms.  Recently I realized that there were so many things I had read in the Old Testament but because I start at Genesis every time, I never got to Proverbs, the Prophets or anything in the New Testament.  And, although I have done studies that cover these areas of the Bible, I just didn't have anything really in depth.
