title: God's Great Covenant - New Testament, Book One
author: Claire Larsen
description: In God's Great Covenant, New Testament 1: A Bible Course for Children, students will follow the story of Jesus, the Messiah and King, as He is born and fulfills all God's promises. But Jesus does not arrive as people expected. The people were looking for a mighty warrior to deliver them from the oppressive Roman government. Instead, He came as the suffering Savior, who would die as the sacrifice for sin and death. He was building a kingdom that was not of this world-it was the kingdom of God. He is the Son of Man, God's Servant, the Messiah, and the Son of God. Each of the four units in this text emphasizes one of these names of Jesus. God's Great Covenant, New Testament 1 teaches the Gospels to students in fourth grade and up, using stories, worksheets, memory verses, devotional guides, quizzes, and a little boy named Simon. In the introductions to the text, students will also learn about the historical, cultural, and geographical setting of the New Testament. This book is a most comprehensive and heartfelt study of the Gospels, and many parents and teachers will find themselves learning along with their students.

  Praise for _The Covenant Books_
  
  
  
  
  
  “Whereas _Deity_ unleashed a pivotal point in this saga, _Apollyon_ sets up
  the scene for what I’m sure will be one hell of an epic conclusion. This
  series has yet to disappoint me. Why do we have to wait until the end of the
  year to see how it all ends?! I would seriously sell my left kidney to read
  _Sentinel_ RIGHT NOW!” —Deity Island
  
  
  
  
  
  “My TOP BOOK OF 2012. This is the best Covenant book so far.” _(Deity)_

  “5 stars: a must read. I’ve never had a book I felt more like giving more than
  5 stars to than this book!… The ending will absolutely shake you to your
  core!”

  “ _Deity_ will leave you breathless, aching for a clue about what is next for
  Alex, for Aiden, for Seth—and for the fragile world that rests upon their
  shoulders.”
