Basic Christian Doctrine Catechism

Unless otherwise noted, the verses will be in the English Standard Version (ESV). I encourage families to review five consecutive older questions each day and review the most recently learned five everyday. You don't want them to lose all the truths but put them into their longterm memory. This will mean reviewing the same five everyday (five newest) for a week and five different older questions each day.
