God's Great Covenant OT 1 Student by Claire Larsen
From the publisher
“Everyone loves a story.” So begins the first installment of our brand new God’s Great Covenant series. God’s Great Covenant, Old Testament One: A Bible Course for Children, will present and teach the Biblical narrative, from Genesis to Ruth, including the book of Job, at a second grade student’s level. The Old Testament presents an unfolding narrative of God’s (Jehovah’s) faithfulness to his people, and the overarching Old Testament themes of the promises and power of God will be presented in simple weekly stories. Combined with delightful maps and illustrations, children will truly follow along with God’s people and see how he leads them and keeps his promises. Students will also learn how the Old Testament stories begin to point us to the coming Savior, Jesus Christ.
The text contains thirty two chapters, to be completed one per week, and divided into five themed units. Before the week’s story, each chapter opens with a Memory Page that includes a weekly memory verse, a Key Facts chart, and vocabulary to remember. A thought-provoking “Who is God?” question will encourage children to consider what they are learning about Him and how to relate to Him in their own lives. Each chapter also contains a worksheet and a quiz. A review chapter at the end of each unit summarizes the material and provides extra puzzles and activities.
A detailed teacher’s edition is available separately, containing the entire student text, providing answer keys and additional factual information to expand upon the historical, geographical, cultural, and theological concepts introduced in the text.
Here are the themes as presented in each Unit of God’s Great Covenant, Old Testament One.
Unit I: In the Beginning -God’s Power. God, the mighty Elohim, demonstrated His power by speaking creation into existence. He barred sinful man from the garden and judged the wicked world with a catastrophic flood. At the same time the power of His mercy and His redemptive plan secured man’s future existence.
Unit II: By the Patriarchs – God’s Promises. The Lord God plucked Abram out of the city of Ur and sent him on a journey. Through the covenant the Lord gave Abram (later called Abraham) three promises: to give him a land, to make him the father of many nations, and to bless the world through him. These promises, and God’s faithfulness to keep them, form the foundation for the rest of God’s story.
Unit III: Out of Egypt – God’s Redemption. In God’s mind, rescuing Israel from Egypt was more than saving the Israelites from slavery. The Lord God was redeeming Israel from sin and renewing the covenant He had made with Abraham. Despite their sin the Lord desired to dwell with His people and bless them.
Unit IV: Through the Wilderness – God’s Provision. In the harshness of the Sinai wilderness the Lord God showed His people that His care for them was perfect. Even though they grumbled, complained, and refused to trust Him, God was completely trustworthy.
Unit V: In the Promised Land – God’s Faithfulness. After the glorious conquest of Canaan, Israel entered into the dark years when everyone did “what was right in his own eyes.” Even though Israel repeatedly turned from the Lord, He always heard their cries for mercy and delivered them from the oppression of their enemies.

We found these Bible Studies at one of our Conventions. We wanted something for elementary children that was interesting and Biblically sound. We think we found it in these studies. We hope you and your children will enjoy them also.

The story of God’s magnificent rescue of his people, a people that began with a family of boys who tried to kill their brother and now numbers nearly two million. A people with many different personalities and attitudes. Some quickly wanted to go back to their land of captivity. Some would never worship and love the God that rescued them.

Herein is Love Leviticus: A Commentary for Children by Nancy Ganz
How can there be a book about Leviticus? The God of the universe has spoken to us; his every word is profound. We need to learn from this God. As this book takes us through God’s commands to sacrifice we slowly begin to deeply understand the awesome thing God has done, and the profound beauty and obedience of Jesus. The beginning books of the Bible are essential to our understanding of God’s redemptive story.
“The publication of commentaries for children on neglected biblical books such as Exodus and Leviticus is noteworthy in itself. Christians have for too long starved their children of much of the nourishment of that Word which is ‘all… profitable’. But Nancy Ganz’s ‘Herein is Love’ series is very much more. Here, in fact, is a biblical theology, a re-telling of these ancient writings in the light of the whole Bible and with a firm grasp of its central thrilling theme – the redeeming love of God in Christ.”

“Herein Is Love is a sensory storehouse. The book brims with shimmering sights, sensational sounds, savory smells, tingling touches and tantalizing tastes of life in the ancient Near Eastern world. Better yet, it is full to overflowing with faith in the true and living God of the Bible. Use it. You, your children and your students will sense God and His Messiah marching through history. Ganz marinates you in His magnificent, marvelous grace. You may experience one minor problem. You’ll need multiple copies to minimize parental and sibling rivalry to see who reads it first! Herein Is Love will titillate the senses and touch the heart.”
