There are three covenants. Two which God made with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and Genesis ch.17), and one with Abraham's Israelite descendants in the time of Moses after the Exodus.
1) In Genesis ch.15, the Covenant Between the Parts:
a) God informs Abraham of future events (the Egyptian exile)
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants
c) The covenant is finalized through a demonstration of God's presence (see Genesis 15:7-9 and 15:17).
2) In Genesis ch.17, the covenant of circumcision:
a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting the land of Canaan are repeated (17:8), but the main thing in this covenant is the promise that God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).
b) God promises that Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21).
c) The covenant itself is manifested through circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).
3) The covenant between God and the Israelite nation (see Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), was made in the time of Moses, with Moses serving as the messenger.
This covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which will include the entire Torah (24:12). God, for His part, promised to treasure the Israelites (Exodus 19:5; and see also Deuteronomy 26:16-19). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on our part) through the sacrifices described in Exodus ch.24.

Does Christianity have scripture or a sacred book?
Yes - the Holy Bible. This is split into two sections - the Old Testament (old promise of God/Old Covenant or agreement) which is the story of God's revelation since the earliest times. This is still the Bible that the Jewish religion uses today, and would have been the Bible known to Jesus. The second section is the New Testament (the story of God's New covenant with mankind) which consists of four accounts of the life of Jesus by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, an account of the early Chuch (Acts) several letters by the Apostle Paul to various churches and individuals, various letters by other writers, and the Revelation of John which deals with the end of the world and the final judgment and salvation.
How is God's covenant with Noah different from his covenant with Abraham?
God's covenant with Noah was a promise to never flood the earth again, symbolized by the rainbow. God's covenant with Abraham focused on making him a great nation and blessing all nations through his descendants. The covenant with Noah was universal, while the covenant with Abraham was specific to his lineage.
