GET FR. LUCIO'S BOOKS

The young Jesus mentioned in Luke’s "Finding of the Boy Jesus" narrative (Luke 2:41-52) really caught Fr. Lucio's attention. Though the passage is only eleven verses long, this passage spans most of Jesus’ youth and young adult life. He felt called to research this theme, so he based his bachelor’s thesis on it. Since theology, he has been writing a series of short commentaries on this passage and has published them as "The Father's Adolescent Series."

Each of the five currently published books tell one aspect of this remarkable passage. These are the five books currently available:

Magnifying Glass – a layman’s analysis of the passage itself.
Boy Jesus – the boy Jesus’ life prior to the Passover pilgrimage.
Passover – on the boy Jesus’ Passover pilgrimage and feast.
Searching for Jesus – on Mary and Joseph’s 3-day search for their son.
Teacher of Israel – on the three days the boy Jesus spent in the Temple.

You can obtain a paperback or Kindle copy for yourself by looking up “Lucio Boccacci” on Amazon.com.
