Recognizing that contemporary readers appreciate the convenience of short basic books, Charis Books offers this attractive new series called "Your One-Stop Guides". In these brightly written and inexpensive paperbacks, readers will find the essentials on significant Catholic topics like the Mass, the Bible, Mary, and the saints. In a comprehensive yet popular style, "Your One-Stop Guides" present the core of Catholic teaching and practice on subjects of perennial interest and importance. With a light touch and humor, Bill Dodds answers frequently asked questions about the saints: "What is a saint, anyway?" And "How does the church decide to make someone a saint?" Your One-Stop Guide to How Saints Are Made tells how the practice of honoring saints got started and how it developed over the centuries. Along the way it explains the basics about saints, including the canonization process, the meaning of relics, and why we have patron saints. In an engaging concluding chapter, the author challenges his readers to aspire to sainthood.
