Product Description
Who among us has not experienced hearing a song that moved us deeply, that spoke to us in a truly spiritual way? Millions of fans around the world have found that inspiration in the music of U2, arguably the biggest band in the world today. Now, on the heels of their latest studio album No Line on the Horizon, comes this engaging and informative examination of the spirituality that drives the band and its music. The author, who interviewed the fledgling band on their second U.S. tour, takes us from their upbringing in Ireland, to their dominance over the music scene in the early 1990s, and then to their role as spiritual ambassadors to post-9/11 America. Throughout we get a picture of the spirituality that flows out of U2's music and how their influence has spread beyond music into issues such as AIDS activism, debt relief for developing nations, and the crisis in Darfur.

I'm not quite done reading this book, but I can tell you it's a MUST read for anyone who has ever been touched by U2's music. You know it's a good book when you feel compelled to pick up a pencil and underline key words and thoughts Garrett puts in front of you. This book is especially meaningful to me as a practicing Episcopalian living and growing in my faith on a daily basis. U2 and books like this have really motivated me to "get up off my knees" and be mindful and responsive to the needs of others.
