Ian HenleyIan is in now his mid-sixties and has been married to Jan since 1974. Their two boys, Matt and Phil are both raising their own families - all boys, so far! - in Yorkshire, England and in Sydney, Australia, respectively. Ian has many years' experiencein sales and sales management in the world of IT and has been involved in many church leadership roles and responsibilities which, as becomes apparent quite soon in the book, explains some of the reasons for the difficulties he experienced. In the mid to late Seventies, he was also a member of a 'Gospel folk group' called The Alethians which toured for a number of years around the UK, the Channel Islands and occasionally into Europe. They supported Cliff Richard in an annual tour which raised funding for the Christian relief and development agency, Tearfund. The Alethians produced two albums during their time together: One Way and RSVP, both of which were on the Myrrh label. Ian has been a member of various worship teams over more recent years and has also been a worship leader at a number of churches. Now in retirement, he has a small home recording studio and feels God has given him lyrics and riffs that he wants to release eventually. Although he feels that such songs will be for himself first and foremost, if others can be encouraged to get into the presence of God through them as well, then that's a bonus! He believes that the Holy Spirit wants to 'download' fresh, hitherto unheard manuscripts from Glory that were meant for a previous resident of Heaven who wanted to receive more glory than God Himself! Now, these manuscripts lie around gathering dust, waiting for anyone who would take the time to seek the presence of God, so that these musical gems can be given to the seeker, and ultimately to the Church. Ian also plans to write more. As an adopted child, there may well be a second book on 'The Spirit of Adoption'. Read More Read Less
