Each question is intended to be worked on for one week, with 6 (Mon-Sat) short devotionals to go along with it to explain the question. You work on strict memorization of the questions and answers, all the while learning what they really mean--1 per week. My kids love it and we all learn how to properly express out faith from it. Jim I would also recommend the following book:
