I would honestly have to say all of them. Even Leviticus which is admittedly a bit laborious to read through.
Because they all contain the word of God. In different ways, they are all necessary to perfect or mature us in Christ and unto every good work.
I am not sure that I understand the question. I have met many people who are bothered by what they call "the God of the Old Testament," but I recognize him as the God of the New Testament as well. I find the Bible to be a true account of what people are like, whether saved or unsaved, and a true account of what this world is like as well. That, in a sense, bothers me because the Bible accurately describes the evil that is all around us and the eventual punishment for it if it is not truly repented of. Grieves me or troubles me would probably be better words to describe how I feel than bothers me.
Honestly, I do not have any. On rare occasions, I will look at other people's commentaries, but I normally find them to be off-base. Generally speaking, I rely either on the Holy Ghost or upon other verses of scripture to clear up my confusion. I do believe that the Bible is its own best interpreter, and I also believe that the Holy Ghost is the world's best teacher. I also presently have some unanswered questions that I pray to God about. Personally, I have come to understand that it is not about knowing everything, but about obeying that which I already do know. That keeps me plenty busy.
I believe that everyone can be adequately equipped if they avail themselves of the Holy Ghost. He inspired the writing of the scriptures, and he was sent to teach us what they mean. Of course, there are other variables to consider as well. Things like word meanings which have changed over the years, the intended audience in a Bible passage, and other things which could basically be described as context.

If asking doesn't 'get it,' it makes me wonder if just asking is all that is asked of us to do. 
This healing topic has been bothering me for a couple of weeks now since what I took as an axiom entered my like some new revelation recently. However, it only started as an abstract "seed" and has yet to fully form into any sort of concrete expression of it, so I'm currently at a loss as to presenting it as the whole truth. I only know that has everything to do with the stripes Jesus received by which we are healed. And, if I find that I've recalled correctly, that was one short of forty, then that leads me to a consideration of the purpose of stopping one short of the number which is known as representative of the number of judgment. This seemingly 'trivial' detail can't be of any degree of a minor significance. I'm inclined to think that He took the entirety of our judgment but held that last 'final' one back...for Himself to dole out...but we do all know for certain that will be exercised, judgment, upon the unbelieving.
