About the author

Kenneth Edward Untener (August 3, 1937 – March 27, 2004) was a Roman Catholic bishop, serving the Diocese of Saginaw from 1980 until his death.

In 1999, Bishop Ken Untener of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw decided to create a Little Black Book, which would use the prayer tradition of Lectio Divina to help people pray the Passion of Our Lord. Besides an English version of the book, there was also a Spanish edition, and a children’s book (Little Purple Book).

Although Bishop Untener died in 2004, he remains the inspiration for the Little Books. His Little Books staff continue to produce Little Books each year for the Advent/Christmas, Lent and Easter seasons, based on Bishop Untener’s writings. They are also producing four Stewardship books in light of the four Gospels.

[Donna Schwartz · Rating 4 out of 5]

These books give several short readings per day that talk about people, sometimes saints, who have done exceptional things for other people. These are put on one page.
The second page is a piece of scripture and included is a short reflection on the scripture.
Easy to read and can be an inspiration!

Excellent meditation devotional for Lent published by the Docese of Saginaw. This was the seventh year praying with this book, always a new, fresh, inspirational supplement to my spiritual journey.
