God’s Great Covenant Old Testament 1 Program components include a Student Textbook, Teacher Guide, Timeline and Map Set, and Audio Files. This program engages students and parents alike as they learn about the books of the Bible, Genesis to Ruth, narrated in an understandable and enjoyable way.
Thirty-two weekly chapters are divided into five units: In the Beginning – God’s Power; By the Patriarchs – God’s Promise; Out of Egypt – God’s Redemption; Through the Wilderness – God’s Provision; and In the Promised Land – God’s Faithfulness.
The beginning of each chapter in the Student Worktext has the lesson theme, key facts about the chapter, the memory passage, and a “message from the king” (which are wise messages from the Bible). Then there is a short story followed by review worksheets that contain various activities like matching, filling in the blanks, unscrambling, story sequencing, and more. At the end of each unit there is a devotion about the next unit’s theme. The back of the book includes appendices, chapter quizzes, and maps. The Teacher Guide has a reduced copy of the student text with additional notes further elaborating on the historical, geographical, cultural, and theological concepts of the text. Answers to the review worksheets are also included. The Audio Files contain the readings in the student text. The Old Testament Timeline and Map Set corresponds to the Old Testament Books 1 and 2 and includes a quality timeline of OT events and six maps. The double-sided timeline (76") contains all events and images on one side, and on the flip side a blank timeline with separate images/events to cut and add as studied. Full-color, semi-glossy cardstock maps measure 13" x 19”. ~ Gina
