I am looking for a general book on Saints and Sainthood... not a book on the lives of Saints, but a book that describes the process of glorification, why and how we pray for saints to intercede on our behalf and what saints for what purpose. I've found some articles online describing the glorification of saints, but I'm looking for more. Thanks.

CHRIST IS RISEN!!!
you could try \"Brave Like a Saint.\" It's more of a novel, and i've never read it but it sounds like the young boy wants to have saintly qualities...that might help. To give balanced perspective, read both the following links: http://www.archangelsbooks.com/proddetail.asp?prod=LNLIAKOVI-01 and http://www.amazon.com/Brave-Like-Saint-Iakovina/dp/0937032840
There's also a book by St John of San Francisco on the Theotokos, which may help in terms of why we pray to saints. I've also never read it, but I've heard of it. http://www.stmaryofegypt.org/library/st_john_maximovich/on_veneration_of_the_theotokos.htm
If i think of anyone else, I'll try to remember to let u know. God bless!
