The Little Blue Book Advent and Christmas Seasons 2020-2021: Six-minute reflections on the Sunday Gospels of Year B

by Ken Untener, Catherine Haven (Editor)

"Six minutes a day.
That’s what you’re asked to give during these next 43 days – the 26 days of the Advent season, and the 17 days of the Christmas season.
Each 24-hour day has 240 “six minute” packages. During the Advent and Christmas seasons, you’re asked to give one of those to the Lord."

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.

Excellent Advent season prayer guide.

[Bonnie Westmark · Rating 5 out of 5]

I poured a cup of tea from my advent tea calendar, sliced the cube of cheese from my advent cheese calendar, lit my candles, read the daily readings, and prayed the Rosary. It was a peaceful way to make time for God and Mary. Advent is s my favorite time of year and this little book always teaches me so very much.

The best way to focus on the birth of Jesus and prepare our life to follow Him

The daily reading help guide us to understand the season and the true meaning of Christmas, how to live it, and how to reflect and talk to the Lord about who I am and question us as to whom I want to be and listen to the Lord in how to achieve it.
