Kittler (1920-1986) was an American freelance writer and author of more than 35 books, many with a religious theme. He was a contributing editor to Guideposts magazine for three decades, and his work appeared in numerous national magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post, Better Homes & Gardens, The American Weekly, Catholic Digest, Sign, Pageant, as well as in anthologies.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Kittler was educated there and in Wisconsin. He studied for the Roman Catholic priesthood before deciding on a career in journalism. He moved to New York in 1950 and, as an avid traveller, covered some 25,000 whilst researching his book The White Fathers (1957), which The New York Times called “a magnificently comprehensive historical introduction to the last hundred years of Christian Africa.” Kittler also co-authored My Friend Ike (1956) with Marty Snyder, an informal biography of Dwight D. Eisenhower, and The Lord is My Counsel (1966) with Marion E. Wade, which chronicles a businessman’s personal experiences with the Bible. His other religious titles include The Hidden Years of Jesus (1959), The Papal Princes: A History of the Sacred College of Cardinals (1961), Ezekiel and the Exile of the Jews (1962), and Saint in the Wilderness: The Story of Isaac Jogues, Missionary and Martyr in the New World (1964).
Kittler was an associate editor of Cornet before becoming a roving editor for Guidepost. He also wrote considerably for radio and was a reporter on newspapers in Chicago, Norfolk and North Carolina.
He died of a heart attack on May 31, 1986 at St. Luke’s Hospital. He was 66 years old and lived in Manhattan.vizualizați mai puține
