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.

Hey Fellow Dads,
How should wise, godly men relate to their mothers, mothers-in-law, and grandmothers? How do we lead our children—especially our sons—to do so? In this episode we'll think about four scriptural guidelines, along with a handful of helpful books, to help us relate to these important women as God intends us to.
—Nathan
Quotes
“When all is said and done, it is the mother, and the mother only, who is a better citizen than the soldier who fights for his country. … The mother who does her part in rearing and training aright the boys and girls who are to be the men and women of the next generation, is of greater use to the community, and occupies, if she only would realize it, a more honorable as well as more important position than any man in it. She is more important, by far, than the successful statesman, or businessman, or artist, or scientist.”
—Theodore Roosevelt
“Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world. What do ships, railways, mines, cars, government, etc. exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes?...The homemaker’s job is one for which all others exist.”
—C.S. Lewis
“All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.”
―George Washington
“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”
—Abraham Lincoln
“No man is poor who has a Godly mother.”
—Abraham Lincoln
“In spite of all this, I still held fast to the notion that a race which could produce as good and gentle and loving a woman as my mother must have some good in it that the geographers had failed to discover.”
—Booker T. Washington, quoted by Stephen Mansfield in Then Darkness Fled
“Men—grown men—are commanded to honour their fathers and their mothers.”
—NC
“Finally, allow me to recommend one more way that we as men can honor our mothers, bring them happiness, and help them, as well as lead our children to do the same—it’s something you can begin doing today, if you don’t already, and it won’t cost you a penny.
“Pray for your mothers. Pray for your mom. Pray for your grandmothers. And, of course, pray for your wife.
“Pray that God to show them His mercy and grace and truth; and enable them to trust and love the Lord Jesus Christ; and help them to be led by His Holy Spirit; and pour His bountiful blessings upon them—spirit, soul, and body. “And allow your children to hear you pray for them too.”
—NC
