Bono Book Booked for April 2007
Bono is set to release a new book titled On The Move: A Speech By Bono, in April of this year. The book will include the keynote address Bono gave at a White House Prayer Breakfast Address in 2005 as well striking photos he took in Ethiopia during his first visit to the continent in 1985.
A quote from On The Move:
“In Africa, 150,000 lives are lost every month. A tsunami every month. And it’s a completely avoidable catastrophe. I truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did—or did not to—to put the fire out in Africa.”
The idea for the book came from David Moberg a Sr. VP and Publisher for Thomas Nelson after he heard the speech at the White House in ’05. All proceeds will go to the ONE Campaign.
We’ll keep you posted here at the ONE Blog with more updates.

A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.

I use the book to teach my high school students about human rights. When we study genocide in Germany and Rwanda and child soldiers in Sierra Leone I use this book to show how an individual can make a difference by fighting back against injustice.
