#84 From Guns N’ Roses to Faith in Christ - Dean Clark

At birth, Dean was abandoned by his mother. By 13, he had begun dealing drugs, and soon after moved into a party house in Hollywood Hills with the bad boys of rock & roll, Guns N’ Roses. But the year Guns N’ Roses began to chart at number 1, Dean met the *true* number 1 of his life.
