review 1: I read it, but not as deeply .... as in, with the playlists the book suggests. I plan to re-read it again with the playlist request as it will enhance things so much more. All that being said, I love how this book shows the integration of the Gospel message in U2's music, and how they get things across without being overtly "preachy" ..... preachy, that is, as in "you better believe in Jesus or you'll burn in hell." If you're looking to enhance your understanding of real Gospel values -- especially from a social justice standpoint -- you can't go wrong with this one!
review 2: In 1985, Rolling Stone proclaimed U2 as the band that matters most, perhaps even "the only band that matters." This book does a great job exploring why that claim might remain true to th... moreis day, especially focusing on the theological/spiritual side of the band's work. The author explores the band's work/witness in three areas: belief, community, and social justice, in what is certainly an interesting and thought provoking read. The author puts to words much of what I have always felt and thought about the band over these many years. less
