i have to do a huge assignment for my Religion class on inspiring

people of faith... and i doing Bono as my inspiring person of faith

and i was wondering if anyone had any articles or ideas of bono

and his work in Africa was inspired by God or the

bible and things of Christian value?

Any input would be much appreciated

I think this would be a good place to start, his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC this year. You can find the transcript here

If you look through this forum there are several good articles and interviews with Bono about that subject

Thank you so much for your help

JanuaryStar · 05-15-2006, 07:17 AM

Ah... Using Bono as a subject for school...

I'm also familiar with that.. And I got good grades

JanuaryStar · 05-15-2006, 07:18 AM

How are you doing on your assignment by the way..?

Is it working out? I hope so!

Rochelle D · 05-16-2006, 02:35 AM

Yeah its going great

people picked really hard people and have no clue

Check out the recent book "Bono in Conversation with Michka Assyas" (I may have screwed up the author's name there.) I'm reading it now and he frequently talks about his faith, in depth. It's the most open I've seen him talk about it. It's very inspiring.

Then check out http://www.relevantstore.com/product...roducts_id=215

Or go to www.relevantmagazine.com, click on "store" and do a search for U2.
You'll find "Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2."

These are where I'd start, but there's more out there. In fact, if you search for the Walk On book on amazon.com, I'm sure you'll find a book about U2 songs being used in sermons and other related books.

God bless,

coemgen

i already have the Bono on Bono book and its been a great help and im trying to track down the walk on book

thankyou · 05-20-2006, 12:56 PM

I wished I could have done a paper on Bono way back when I ......eh..... well, a long time ago that is... nufsaid.

Rochelle, maybe when you're done you could post it for us to read.
