Darren’s parents divorce when he’s six. His mother’s involvement with palm readers and horror movies confuse him although his father gets saved and takes him to church. Left alone, he smokes with a friend. His older brother plays in a band and Darren does, too, at age thirteen. Drugs and music consume his life. He quits school at seventeen and lives with one person after another. His dad takes him to youth camp at nineteen, where he surrenders to Christ. Now in ministry.
