General Description:
What is a saint?
How does a saint get canonized?
Why do we have patron saints?
And much more!
"Bill Dodd's Your One-Stop Guide to How Saints Are Made is a witty and information-rich tour of the saint-making process. Refreshing rather than solemn, persuasive and not heavy-handed, Dodd's book reminds us that Catholics enjoy their saints. You will have a smile on your face when you read his light-hearted tour of how saints have been canonized throughout history. Seldom have saints themselves been more attractively revealed." - Rev. Alfred McBride, P. Praem.
"In Your One-Stop Guide to How Saints Are Made, Bill Dodds provides a survey course on the saints: the process of canonization, the patron saints, where holy cards come from, relics, miracles, Church feasts and the Catholic liturgical year are explained, along with stories of saints, the role of pilgrimages, and how you can get a person declared a saint. He also supplies a few hints for you - yes, you - to become a saint." - Robert P. Lockwood, Author and Columnist, and former president and publisher of Our Sunday Visitor
"Your One-Stop Guide to How Saints Are Made tells you everything you wanted to know about the process in a humorous and informative style. It could do for canonizations what the 'Dummies' books did for computer users." - Thomas N. Lorsung, Editor-In-Chief of Catholic News Service
