"The one thing, on which we can all agree, is that God is with the vulnerable and poor. God is in the slums and in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them. 6,500 Africans are still dying every day of a preventable, treatable disease, for lack of drugs we can buy at any drug store. This is not about charity, this is about Justice and Equality." --Bono

This small book, based upon the speech given by Bono at the 2006 NPB, delivers an inspiring and powerful message. Here, in Bono's own words, is a reflection on his own faith and a challenge to people of all faiths to reach across boundaries and come together on behalf of what the Scriptures call "the least of these."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Poor Are IMPORTANT and Matter
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2010
Verified Purchase
It must be one of those important lessons that the writers of the Bible really wanted us to learn - the distribution of resources is not equal across the board. There are over 2,100 references to the poor/the impoverished/poverty in the Bible.

"On The Move" is a short book, which should take about an hour to read. After that, it takes a lifetime to digest and integrate into your lifestyle. It is rock singer Bono's address to the 2006 National Prayer Breakfast, in Washington D.C. The speech lists twice, the first time, in short segments with pictures, and the second, as complete text, with no pictures.

I'm leading a weekly discussion at my church, on Poverty, Justice, and the Bible. "On The Move" was quoted in one of my resources, and I bought a handful to share with the group. Since then, they have been made available to the entire congregation. All we ask, is that, after they are finished, they pass on the book to someone else.

The photos are of people in Africa, but they could be anywhere. They are photos that call us to reflect, to get angry, and to get involved.

"On The Move" is one of those books that reaches us at a variety of levels. We HAVE the resources to level the playing field, and make poverty history. If I could, I would buy enough copies to always have one to give to a family member, friend, or co-worker. All the royalties of the sale of the book, are being donated to the ONE Campaign, to make poverty history. See [...] for more information.

I highly recommend the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than I could expect
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2007

For a small book, this one packs the hugest punch of all! I knew that getting something Bono was involved with would really move me but I had no idea how much. This book should be read by every human being on the planet. 2nd behind the Bible.

His love for Africa and his passion for this country is obvious from the first page to the last. Just reading his words have inspired me to get more involved than I already am.

My prayer is that this book will have the same impact on all who read it and that we will all share it with the rest of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars great read...choose hardback over e-version
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2013

I have both hardback and kindle version of this book. Bono have a fabulous speech that challenges each reader to do more to make a difference in the world. God is on the move and we are called to be on the move as well. The photos are great. The problem with the photos in the kindle version is that it's difficult to read the text overlayed into the photos. Fortunately the full text is printed again without the photos. I prefer the paper version. Yet the kindle version met the immediate need in the moment. The book/is definitely worth the read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bono Writes a Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2009

Well, of course I am a U2 fan. I think that would be a big reason I bought this book. After reading it and seeing the pictures, I am more of a Bono fan than I thought possible. The man truly can see things in a way that puts a bit of magic in everything. Not just songs...

Read this and learn more about what life is really about.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Book, but a Shallow Gospel
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2007
The content of this short book is actually a speech Bono gave at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. in 2006. Bono makes his case for justice for Africa, outlining his own personal story, the religious motivation for giving, and what he ultimately desires out of the politicians he is addressing - a commitment to devote 1% of the fiscal budget to Africa.

The pictures in this book are beautifully provocative and captivating. The words can be so, too. But don't be too quick to embrace Bono's point of view. This is social gospel to the core. Bono combines tidbits from Islam, Judaism, Christianity... whatever fits the bill, really... to advocate for the poorest of the poor. And while so much of his message about poverty is true (e.g. "There's a gigantic chasm between the scale of the emergency and the scale of the response") the basis and the context are all wrong.

I'm still figuring out what it means to live as a privileged young American in a world that is full of suffering and poverty and need. And I can only admire Bono for his Africa advocacy. I am so thankful that light is being shed on those who need our help. And I am confident that God can and does work through all of this. I don't even have a problem with Christians aligning themselves with the ONE campaign, because it stands for what we should be standing for - justice and generosity and love.

But that ends with doctrine and theology. I think Bono is preaching a shallow gospel, a cheap gospel, based on the pluralistic gods of this age. He is not preaching Christ crucified. He is preaching God in the slums. And while that is a valuable message, it doesn't compare to the most explosive message of all - Christ Jesus came to this earth to save sinners, of whom I am the very worst.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of "On The Move"
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2009

I had seen the book before but for whatever reason had not purchased it. It contains the entire speech that Bono gave at The National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC in '06. The photos are the ones he & Ali took during their mission trip to Ethiopia prior to the making of The Joshua Tree. For any die hard U2 fan, it is a must have in your collection.

This is really a very moving book. And also very personal and emotional. Bono is a good storyteller and shows what moves him to do his work for Africa. Powerful and inspiring!

5.0 out of 5 stars "God is in the slums"... and in the very heart of all of HIS creation !
Reviewed in Germany on March 4, 2011
Verified Purchase
Seit mehr als 20 Jahren lebt die Musik und Philosophie U2's nun bereits in meinem Herzen, doch auch über diese Einfühlung für die vier Iren und speziell Paul weit hinaus, ist dieses Buch unglaublich berührend und aus ganzer Seele wahr gesprochen. Meinen tiefsten Respekt für seine Arbeit - auf und gerade auch HINTER der Bühne...
Mittlerweile kann mich auch selbst kein noch so abwertendes Wort über sie/ ihn noch treffen, denn es gibt Dinge die einfach gegenüber jedem Angriff immun sind - weil sie ethisch, logisch u. emotional-intelligent gleichermaßen, schlichtweg RICHTIG sind u. auf dem universellem Verständnis/ Empfinden der Seele(n) basieren.

Lest das Buch und um es ebenso mit den durch nichts zu übertreffenden Worten von Michael Jackson zu sagen:

"No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then MAKE A CHANGE !"

Paul/ Bono hat das schon seit sehr langer Zeit begriffen und zielstrebig mit unbändigem Willen in Aktion umgesetzt. Und während andere Botschafter desselben Ziels viel zu früh zerstört, gar umgebracht wurden, so hat er GsD immer noch die Chance gleichsam an ihrer Stelle weiter zu kämpfen. Ich hoffe inständig, dass ihm genau das noch viele viele Jahre möglich sein wird.

Für ein Leben in dem Freiheit, Wertschätzung, Gleichberechtigung, Liebe und Toleranz aller Menschen zählen, in friedlicher einander tragender Gemeinschaft, welchen Glaubens sie auch immer angehören, ungeachtet jeder Hautfarbe und Herkunft - wir müssen ALLE zusammen arbeiten um die Welt zum Besseren zu gestalten ! Und tun wir es nicht JETZT, verrinnt uns die Zeit zwischen den Fingern.

One life
One blood
One L O V E

FOR THE SAKE OF OUR WORLD - MAKE THAT CHANGE, everyone can help !
