A proposito di questo titolo

 ⚔️ Do you long to inspire your children with stories of heroes in history and with the greatest story ever told--the word of God? 🛠️ Do you want to equip your children for life in the world, so that they’ll have wisdom and understanding as they face the challenges in whatever work God calls them to? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Do you desire to live and learn together with your family, using good books and real-life experiences to build relationships that will last a lifetime? In this podcast, you’ll find real-life tips and recommendations for books our homeschooling family loves, and discussions of how we as dads can make it easier to read to and with our children. My mission is to equip you with hope and help as you seek to train your children in God’s way and lead your family, relying first on the Bible and then learning from the wealth of great books that are available for the taking. If you’re ready to uncover instructional, inspiring books to read to and with your family, to build strong family relationships by reading, talking and living together, and to prepare your children for life and eternity with great books & activities, then join us for Treasure Box Books! Hi, I’m Nathan Ching, a redeemed child of God, happy husband and homeschooling dad, and lifelong lover of good books. For years--even before I became a father--I eagerly looked forward to leading my children to know, love, and serve God. As a young man, I realized that reading, beginning first with the Bible, then other books, unlocked my understanding. The Old Testament prophet said, ”I Daniel understood by books….” When I prayed about how to train my children for God, I became convinced that reading to and with my children would be an essential element in helping them to delight in God and do His will. While I can’t claim to have perfected the art of leading my family, I am happy to say that the Lord has taught me practical, useful lessons--lessons I believe would serve other dads as they lead their families. That’s what this podcast is all about. There are treasures to be found in books that simply can’t be found anywhere else. Come join us on our journey, and let’s go find the treasures in books! 📖 Download free Bible audio: www.refreshpublishing.com/bible 🧑🏻‍💻 Visit the Website: www.treasureboxbooks.com 📩 Email Me: support@treasureboxbooks.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ https://feed.podbean.com/treasureboxbooks/feed.xml Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.Copyright 2023 Nathan Ching.

    Hey Fellow Dads, If we could sit down together and talk, I’d want to ask you…What books did you read this past year, either to your family or on your own? Which were your favorites? And what are your goals for the coming year? I hope my answers to these questions encourage you to make your own lists and continue in the good work of leading your family. —Nathan Terms Semiquincentennial: lit. half of 500 years. 250th year.

Quotes “True, there are only twelve hours in the day, but there are fully twelve hours in the day—sufficient time to do all the will of God. There is always enough time to do that.” —J. Oswald Sanders, in Prayer Power Unlimited [When pastoring a church, George Whitefield] “divided the day into three parts—eight hours for study and retirement, eight hours for sleep and meals, and eight hours for reading prayers, catechizing, and visiting the parish. The profit I reaped by these exercises…was unspeakable.” —George Whitefield’s journal, quoted in Forgotten Founding Father, by Stephen Mansfield “I have observed that before God calls me to a public work, He always sends me into some retirement.”—G. Whitefield “Our lives are not the same as Whitefield’s, nor should we try to emulate him or any other man in every detail—but we may and should feel compelled to improve in certain areas when we see how those men excelled in those areas—and it’s not a bad idea to ask the Lord how we should change in those areas, if it all. I know this—I long to be a more faithful servant of my Lord Jesus Christ, and managing my time better than I did in 2025 and praying more consistently than I did in 2025 will prove major factors in my desire coming to fruition—to be a better servant to my Lord Jesus Christ.” —Nathan If you enjoyed this episode, 🎙️Please subscribe to the podcast so you can listen again next week! ✍🏻 Leaving a review is the best way to say "thanks" so that others can find the podcast, too!

    075 | Christmas Time Ideas for Dads - Bring Their Hearts Back to Christ
    Dec 19 2025

    Hey Fellow Dads,

    We want to continuously lead our families to think about Christ, to learn about Him, to love Him, to serve Him, and to share His gospel throughout the year. I think Christmas is a great time of year to recalibrate and refocus our attention on Him, especially as we prepare to step into a new year. Here are seven ways to help us do that.

    —Nathan

    Scriptures

    📖 Genesis 3:15

    📖 Genesis 49:8-12

    📖 Micah 5:2

    📖 Psalm 132:1-12

    📖 Matthew 1-2

    📖 Luke 1-2

    📖 John 1

    📖 Hebrews 10:25

    Books

    📚 Jotham’s Journey, by Arnold Ytreeide

    📚 Bartholomew’s Passage, by Arnold Ytreeide

    📚 Ishtar’s Odyssey, by Arnold Ytreeide

    Quotes

    “While we’re trying to keep the emphasis on Christ, it’s easy to get lost in the details and forget what we’re actually doing—remember and rejoice in Jesus Christ and the fact that God sent Him to be our Saviour.”—Nathan

    “Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel.”—from “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” originally by Charles Wesley, altered by others, including George Whitefield

    “So many opportunities abound, but we want our children to know that we as dads depend on the Lord to open the doors, to help us open our mouths, and to open hearts to the gospel of Christ.”—Nathan

    “Who is He in Yonder Stall?”

    by Benjamin Russell Hanby (1866)

    1 Who is He in yonder stall, At whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is He in deep distress, Fasting in the wilderness?

    2 Who is He the people bless For His words of gentleness? Who is He to whom they bring All the sick and sorrowing?

    3 Lo! at midnight, who is He Prays in dark Gethsemane? Who is He on yonder tree Dies in grief and agony?

    4 Who is He that from the grave Comes to heal and help and save? Who is He that from His throne Rules through all the world alone?

    Chorus: ’Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! ’Tis the Lord, the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him, crown Him Lord of all!

    Ideas
    1. Each morning, read a portion of Scripture relating to the Lord’s first coming with your family.
    2. Encourage your children to make more gifts more than they buy.
    3. At daily family times, read stories that focus on the Lord’s first coming.
    4. Look for ways to show the love of Christ in acts of service to do together.
    5. Sing songs of Jesus’ birth together.
    6. Be sure to include regular church attendance together.
    7. Pray that God will use your family during this season to help lead people to the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Quotes

    “’He that hath made his refuge God,’ might serve as the title of a true believer. A hypocrite, when afflicted by God, resents the infliction, and, like a slave, would run from the Master who has scourged him; but not so the true heir of heaven, he kisses the hand which smote him, and seeks shelter from the rod in the bosom of the God who frowned upon him.” —Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening, Nov. 19, Evening

    “When I survey the wondrous cross, on which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain, I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.” —“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” by Isaac Watts

    “Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease, 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life and health and peace.

    “He breaks the power of cancelled sin, he sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me.” —“O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing,” by Charles Wesley
