vertical slab install in shower

We would like to install a slab of granite onto the shower wall. While we have the walls open are there any structural precautions to take? What is the best method for adhereing the stone to the backing? Are there mechanical requirements (ie wiring) or will adhesives suffice? If yes with adhesives, what about water resistance and bleed through. Just like to know what we are getting into!!! Thanks.
