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.
