New Revised Edition Now Available
John Smith's 'On The Side Of The Angels'

£12 including P&P for UK purchasers
Back in 1988, on my second read through of John Smith's "On The Side Of The Angels", I just knew, both John, (who at the time I'd never met) and God's Squad would have a significant part to play in my life - here we are nearly two decades on as I head up God's Squad in Europe and was ordained by John several years ago! What's more, his story and the challenges regarding mission, church, the arts and justice made a huge impact on me then (and still do) and made a massive contribution in sorting my head out when a lot of things seemed very confusing. 'On The Side' has been out of print for a number of years now, but has now been republished in Australia with an updated chapter and pictures including references to our work, musicians Sammy Horner, Martyn Joseph & also U2. We have the only supply of these new books available for sale in this country at moment, for £10 plus £2 p+p. Just drop us a note, (Exousia Trust, Zac's Place, Gospel Hall, George Street, Swansea, SA1 4HH), with a cheque payable to 'Exousia Trust' and we'll be glad to send one.
"Truly a preacher to the convertible .. John Smith's message is for people who want to do more than just listen" - Bono, U2.

"I'm so impressed with Zac's place. The work being done there is tangible, you can see it, feel it and smell it. Dirty work in some ways and the stuff that the mainstream church is either scared of doing or simply no good at. I feel at home there and have loved playing a few songs there to add to the chaos." Martyn Joseph, 2006
