⚔️ 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.

Episode 28—Keep Daddy (& Mommy) Times
Recommended Reading
📚 Congratulations, You’re Gonna Be a Dad! What’s Ahead from A to Z for First-Time Fathers, by Paul and Pam Pettit.
Here’s what I like about this book and why I’d get it for a first-time dad:
- It’s written in a conversational, easy-to-read style.
- It’s designed to be picked up and used as a reference as needed, not as a sit-down-and-read-through-in-its-entirety volume.
- It contains well over 100 topics, arranged alphabetically.
- It is written in a straightforward, matter-of-fact way, so that what husbands need to know is made clear, all in a very honoring, respectful manner.
- It closes with a short section called “The Story of a Father and a Son”—the good news of God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son, and how God solved our sin problem in Christ.

Quotes
“I long for rural and domestic scenes, for the warbling of birds and the prattle of my children…As much as I converse with sages or heroes, they have very little of my love or admiration. I should prefer the delights of a garden to the dominion of the world.”—John Adams, quoted in Values and Virtues, p. 89, by Howard Hendricks and Bob Phillips
“As the Holy Spirit uses the truths of His word to draw our children to Christ, so He also uses the truth of His word to sanctify them.”—Nathan
“I can’t stress this enough—we as dads must, must, must spend individual time with each member of our families.”—Nathan
“Do you regularly spend time with each of your children?”—Nathan
“For the rest of their lives, my children will carry the memories of sitting together, as a family, in our living room, listening to great stories of God’s greatness and goodness through the lives of inspiring people.”—Nathan
“What we do as a family together ought to build memories that help us become faithful and fruitful servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the books we read ought to inspire us to action for the glory of God and the good of others.”—Nathan
“What we read helps to form who we are, as the words build into the memories that make us who we are; and I believe it’s one of our jobs as dads to keep the right kind of words before them, the kinds of words which will help our families build the best kinds of memories, and inspire them to do great things for the glory of God and the good of other ‘sons of Adam and daughters of Eve.’”—Nathan
Guidelines for building happy memories into your children’s hearts
- Understand God’s plan for remembering.
- Determine your goal and aim for it.
- Make memories with individual members of your family.
- Make memories with the whole family.
- Make memories of serving together as a family, reaching outside your family.

061 | Do Audiobooks = Real Books? (Part 2—Advantages)
Monday Mar 31, 2025
Monday Mar 31, 2025
Hey Fellow Dads,
Last time we looked at some disadvantages of audiobooks as compared to printed books. Today’s episode will discuss six advantages of audiobooks, along with a list of some of my favorite audiobooks—I hope you enjoy many of them!
—Nathan
Books
📚 🎧 The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom
📚 💻 Expository Thoughts on the Gospel of Mark, by J.C. Ryle, available to read online here in its original text:
📚 Jotham’s Journey, by Arnold Ytreeide
📚 🎧 💻 This Country of Ours, by H.E. Marshall (narrated by Kara Shallenburg)
America’s Heroes and History series, by Brian Kilmeade
- 📚 George Washington’s Secret Six
- 📚 Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates
- 📚 Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans
- 📚 Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers
- 📚 The President and the Freedom Fighter
- 📚 Teddy and Booker T.
📚 🎧 The Holy Bible, King James Version, narrated by Alexander Scourby
📚 🎧 Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God an English Voice, by David Teems, narrated by Simon Vance
📚 🎧 The Lamb, by John Cross, narrated by John Cross
Quotes
“In darkness God's truth shines most clear.”
“Love is larger than the walls which shut it in.”
“Perhaps only when human effort had done its best and failed, would God's power alone be free to work.”
“No pit is so deep that God is not deeper still.”
—Corrie Ten Boom, in The Hiding Place
“Let believers cling to this doctrine with jealous watchfulness. With it, they stand upon a rock. Without it, they have nothing solid beneath their feet. Our hearts are weak. Our sins are many. We need a Redeemer who is able to save to the uttermost, and deliver from the wrath to come. We have such a Redeemer in Jesus Christ. He is ‘the mighty God.’ “ (Isaiah ix. 6.)
“A great congregation no doubt is a pleasing sight. But the thought should often come across our minds, ‘How many of these people will reach heaven at last?’
“It is not enough to hear and admire popular preachers. It is no proof of our conversion that we always worship in a place where there is a crowd. Let us take care that we hear the voice of Christ Himself, and follow Him.
—J.C. Ryle, in Expository Thoughts on the Gospel of Mark
“I’ve got a long list of books I really want to read, but I simply don’t have the time. Most of my reading is taken up with books that I need to read—my Bible first, that’s my soul food.” —Nathan
Advantages of Listening to Audiobooks
- You can listen to audiobooks when you are doing activities that don't allow reading.
- Listening to an audiobook is like listening to someone read a book to you.
- Listening to an audiobook can allow you to consume books you wouldn't normally have the time to read.
- Listening to audiobooks can help you discover books worth reading to your family.
- Listening to an audiobook can help you to read better yourself.
- Listening to audiobooks read by skilled narrators can help your children grow in several areas, not the least of which is reading itself.

Monday Mar 24, 2025

Have you ever wondered whether listening to audiobooks instead of reading is “cheating”? Today’s episode will cover six disadvantages of audiobooks, along with workarounds for each one. Enjoy, and stay tuned for next episode, when we’ll discuss six advantages of audiobooks!

Hey Fellow Dads,
Today we continue a three-episode series introducing both true and fictional stories from Alaska—tales of heroism, survival, and faith that can inspire you and your family to follow wherever God leads.
In this episode, my friend Pastor Jonathan Fisher shares how God called him to be the answer to his own prayers for needy communities in Alaska. He also talks about how serving the Lord is a privilege and joy—yes, even fun—and how we as husbands can lead our wives and children to know that joy in service to Christ.
Don’t miss out on Jonathan’s sharing an exciting and true “Alaskan adventure” story about an encounter with an Alaskan brown bear, too!

Quotes by Jonathan Fisher
“For two months, every day, I was just finding myself really asking God, burdened about, ‘Lord, would You send laborers to Alaska? There’s a need there,’ and never thought about us.”
“Through some preaching, through some verses, God made the calling very clear, and the calling was evangelist. And to be honest, that scared me, I didn’t like that, because all I had ever really known about evangelist was guys who get in a RV and travel around the Lower 48 and hold meetings.”
Veteran missionary in Papua New Guinea, Dennis Wells’ advice to missionaries: “He said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to forget where you’re from,….You’re going to have to love where God put you,….and you’re going to have to learn to have fun.’ ”
“It’s important to enjoy where God put you.”
“My parents and my wife’s parents both instilled in us that we get to do this because we serve the Lord, because God takes great care of us.”
“As far as people from where we’re from that we can really connect with, there’s nobody, and so, I have my wife, and she has me. And God has allowed us to really develop a great relationship….And that is precious, to have a close relationship with your wife.”
“I came from San Diego, where life was very busy. You have so many friends and so many people to talk to, that sometimes, those who were supposed to be closest to can be neglected in caring for them.”
Vocabulary
(v.) glass: to scan with a spyglass or other optical instrument.
(n.) breakup: in Spring, when the ice melts and breaks apart.
(n.) tungat: spirits, presumably with evil intent toward the living.
(n.) shaman: one who claims to have contact with the spirit world and thus wields power over other people.

Quotes
“Are you preparing to go to Alaska?”—Nathan’s sister (thanks for the cameo appearance!)
“That first year, I was pretty much housebound, and I wanted to accomplish something, and one of the things that I did to literally survive that six and a half year journey was write a book in my mind….The first eight months, I went through the Bible seven times, so that saturated my mind and soul with the word of God….in conjunction with that, I would escape in my mind to surviving in the wilderness…”—Pastor Bruce Hamilton
“Many are cold, few are frozen.”—Pastor Bruce Hamilton
