    Get up off Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalogby Anonymous

    March 18, 2005: It says it all in the title, 'Preaching the U2 Catalog'. This book is a collection of essays and sermons. None of the reviews are critical analyses of the songs, nor have much biographical info on U2. A typical sermon begins with something from the real world to catch parishioners' attention. In most of these essays, that is how U2's lyrics are used. Some even repeatedly use the lyrics in the sermon, but the sermon is about a larger issue, not the music or how it affects people. There is an appendix that includes a curriculum in which you use U2 music and videos for as launching pads for bigger issues in faith. This might work with some tween to teens, but most adults I know would be too self-concious to get much out of the program. I felt adult Christians need deeper exercises than the small group question and answer sessions. Also, they claimed that non-Christian U2 fans would enjoy the discussions as well, which is within the realm of possibility, but I wouldn't guarantee it.
