Christ’s Youth Comes Alive in our new The Boy Jesus Series!
This series will help you explore all that God’s Word intended to tell us about the young Jesus. You will discover the immense treasure the Holy Spirit inspired Luke to deposit in the Finding of the Boy Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:40-52).
The Boy Jesus Series provides a unique and refreshing look into Christ’s youth. We explore this part of Christ’s life which is usually not discussed in order to bring you new insights into his life and ministry. The Boy Jesus Series is available in six easy-to-digest books which can be used at home, in Bible Studies, or for personal study. Check out my video on the first book and click below for more videos.
Deepen Your Relationship with Christ
Our series will deepen your knowledge of Christ and thus your relationship with Him. You will also be immersed in the Gospels in a way that will connect Christ’s youth to the rest of his life and mission. You will be drawn to prayer and reflection as you read through each book!
Scripture Based
The series was designed to be wholly based on Scripture. The books are primarily based on the passage of the Finding of the Boy Jesus in the Temple in Luke’s Gospel (Lk 2:40-52) and historical information about first century Israel.
A Truly Unique Theme
You simply don’t hear much on the youth of Jesus. We jump from his infancy to his adult ministry. What happened in the middle? This book series is the only non-fictional account written for everyday Christians on this theme. Don’t miss out!
Easy to Read
The series is written for adults with a High School level of English. Each book is short and focused on a specific theme. It is also available in print, Kindle, and Audible. All of this means that even young people could enjoy this series!

Milestones in the Life of the Boy Jesus
Loved the Books!
There was much broader knowledge shared than my expectation of the verses Luke 2:40-52. The relationship to other Scriptures, customs, and geography increased my knowledge, understanding, and spiritual growth. Thank you!
I highly recommend it!
“This trustworthy and readable guide to Jesus’ adolescent years will open your mind and your heart to the richness of God’s Word.”
Great book full of insights into the life of Jesus as a boy!
Each book is eye-opening for me and very easy to read. The author gives so much insight into the 1st century background of history, word meanings, traditions, and common sense ideas to think about and reflect on for deeper understanding. I will never read these 13 verses of Luke’s Gospel the same again!
My books are now available in print, Kindle, and Audiobook format!
