Get Up Off Your knees collects thoughtfu…l and provocative sermons, based on U2's work, by preachers from across the international church spectrum. This book is for fans of U2, students of homiletics, and everyone interested in the intersection of art, popular culture, and religion." "We can't fit God into our plans, we must fit into his. We can't use God - God is not a tool or appliance or credit card. Prophets confront us with the sovereign presence of God in our lives. If we won't face up, they grab us by the scruff of our necks and shake us into attention. Amos crafted poems, Jeremiah wept sermons, Isaiah alternately rebuked and comforted, Ezekiel did street theater, U2 writes songs and goes on tour, singing them." - from the Foreword, by Eugene Peterson "What makes U2 such a beloved and popular band is that the songs have meaning for people everywhere, young or old, rich or poor, believer or not. Bono writes about Big Ideas like love, desire, hope, pride, joy, and grace, and you don't have to go to church on Sundays to find meaning in his words. This is not a book that shouts from the pulpit. It passes no judgment. It's a book about all the things U2 writes about, and if you get anything from U2's music - believer or not - you'll get something from this book, as well." - Matt McGee, webmaster of U2 fan site.
