Sange, der giver mening. U2 er et af verdens største rockbands og så har de noget på hjerte. Mange mennesker har U2 sange med på soundtracket over deres liv. En sang, som bevægede dem, og kom til at betyde noget for dem personligt. Sådan er det også for forfatterne til denne bog. Vi er personligt ramt af U2, fordi U2 sætter ord og musik på tro, håb, kærlighed, længsel, vrede, frustration og selverkendelse, som vi genfinder hos os selv. Hos U2 kan man finde "a song that makes some sense out of the world" (frit citeret fra "The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)" fra U2s album fra 2014 Songs of Innocence). U2 har siden 1979 udgivet sange, som også er salmer. Gennem 13 albums fra 1980 - 2014 fører U2 en stadig dialog og kamp med sig selv, med os andre og med Gud om livet, døden og håbet. I denne bog vil vi dybdegående se på de tolv sange på U2s tolvte studiealbum "No Line On The Horizon" fra 2009 med et væld af referencer til hele U2s sangkatalog og til øvrig musik, litteratur, bibelen og vores egne livserfaringer. Det er et helstøbt album, som med U2´s egne ord rummer "salmer for fremtiden". Vi har oversat samtlige sange til dansk og disse tekster kan alle læsere rekvirere. Vi håber det også giver en aha-oplevelse. "No Line On The Horizon" kredser om nærhed og afstand til Gud. Spændet mellem nærhed, håb og glæde overfor afstand, sorg og frustration. Det tema vækker genklang i vores egne liv. Slår man lejr i himlen, bliver man verdensfjern og halleluja-frelst. Slår man lejr i gudsforladtheden, bliver man menneskefjendsk og depressiv. U2 formulerer den spænding, som livet udfolder sig i, og som vi som præster forkynder, at Guds kærlighed virker.
