For the "beginner" project manager I recommend Project Management for Dummies.  It's inexpensive, easy to read, and contains step-by-step instructions.\n\nFor a more advanced read there's always Kerzner's Project Management -  A Systems Approach.  This is an industry standard - more expensive, and aimed more at project management in medium/large organizations.\n\nFor best practices you may want to review PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) but this is not a how-to book.  More a list of things that you should be doing.

The patron of lost object is Saint Anthony of Padua (also the patron saint of San Antonio, TX - incase you are intersted).\n\nWe don't actually pray TO the saint, but rather ask him, through prayer, to pray with us to God to help.\n\nThat being said, here is a common prayer to ask St. Anthony for help:\n\nHoly Saint Anthony, gentle and powerful in your help, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were always ready to request for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (insert request here). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the Saint of miracles. Gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart is ever full of human sympathy, take my petition to the Infant Savior for whom you have such a great love, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.

Its not the person,but his position that earns him the name "holy father".He is by virtue of his position "the shepherd of the people in the world" and thus is the spiritual father.

God's projects do not end, the projects phases end according to his plans/designs and will and not Humans.  Humans are one of God's Human being project phase. When a Human dies, it's an other phase being implemented according to plan and on schedule. unlike a product in pipe line destined for some where that only the operators of that equipent knows. No Human being or Technology has yet even considered to find out. no one knows but the planer/desiner and creator, because he is perfect. Pray to him, Do good, think good, help the needy, don't be selfish, be Loving,be caring ,be honest, Love your self and be faithfull for as long as you're in the Human being phase and I'm almost sure, your next phase will end up at a good destination, some call it paradise some call it heaven and many others call it many other names, again only the project Manager knows that for sure.

Means "bearing Christ", derived from Late Greek Χριστος (Christos) combined with φερω (phero) "to bear, to carry". Christopher was the legendary saint who carried the young Jesus across a river. He is the patron saint of travellers. Another famous bearer was Christopher Columbus, the explorer who reached the West Indies in the 15th century.
