This has sat on my shelf for my ten year career and I've never read it. Are there any up-to-date resources to help approach the text?

That is the beauty of this book, there is no need for any extra resources. Install SICP package in Dr. Racket [1] and start reading the book. Try your best to solve the exercises, and don't give up easily on the exercises. Thinking over the exercises and solving them is the best way to assimilate learning from SICP. I read only the first 3 chapters, and relied on notes from Eli Bendersky [2] to check when stuck with exercises.

The videos from a class the authors gave in 1986 are available online (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Op3QLzMgSY). I highly recommend those, if reading the text is not your style.

Just install Dr. Racket and write #lang sicp at the top. What kind of resources to help you approach the text you’re looking for?
Abelson, Sussman's Structure Interpretation of Computer Programs also good recommend - helps show that whilst it's not magic, fact everything still works is magical
