U2's Bono: Grace Over Karma

Check out the article “Bono:  Grace Over Karma.”  It’s a fascinating interview with U2 lead singer Bono a few years ago from the new book “Bono” by Michka Assayas.  The interview took place just before the Madrid train bombings in 2004 which left 191 dead and more than 1800 wounded.

    Thank you for posting this article which brought me to tears. I am not the biggest U2 fan, but I am a huge Bono fan! One of the greatest speeches I ever heard (and I’ve heard many!)was delivered poetically by Bono at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2006. The speech can be found online and is also in small book form. It’s entitled,”On The Move”,and is absolutely worth reading. This speech has a clear and poignant message that resonates with believers who desire to participate in the”real” gospel. Thanks for seeing beyond the “rock star” persona and featuring such an inspirational piece.
