Synopsis "Thanks Be to Bono"
You know who Bono is. Everyone knows who Bono is! Love him or hate him, he is the lead singer of U2, an international diplomat, a peacemaker, and the champion of the movement to end the tragedy of extreme poverty. Did you know that he is now the most recognized player on the world stage today? With the U2 stage setup, he literally has the loudest voice on the planet. And thanks be to him millions of lives have been saved as a result of his work as an advocate for the fair distribution of food and medicine to people in crisis. Slightly less has been made known about Brent Barton, humble photocopier salesman from Vancouver and world traveling U2opian social activist. He's the guy who transformed the music and activism of Bono into a controversial global spiritual movement, dedicated to bringing lasting solutions to all of humanity's problems. In the pages of this personal memoir, Brent opens up for the first time ever about the birth of the world's newest and fastest growing religion, taking the reader behind the rise of TEMPLE(TM), from the early days of downtown street preaching, to the opening of the first wave of TEMPLE(TM) mega-plex multi-centers, to the international advancement of the extravagantly ambitious U2opian agenda. Here Brent shares his thoughts on Africa, poverty, charity, religion, tolerance, respect, haters, extremists, reality, enlightenment, and the awesomeness of everything associated with the music of the rock'n roll band U2. Here, for the first time ever, Brent speaks candidly, about his aspirations and of the deep faith that gives him strength and inspiration. He gives readers clear guidance and helpful tips in the struggle to find balance in times of economic, political and climactic instability. Direct and to the point, Brent shoots from the hip and outlines a new direction for humanity, based on Bono and the music of U2. You are cordially invited to join the celebration of iconoclast, celebrity and activism in the global age of doom and gloom end times religious hysteria. This is not your average SENSATIONALIST TELL-ALL memoir of the latest TELEVANGELIST caught in a HOT SEX, DRUGS & ROCK'N ROLL SCANDAL.
