A Bridge to the Soul is the fascinating story of how Dean Andrea, after a very abusive childhood, went on a fifty year search to find answers to life's greatest mysteries. He eventually found the inner peace and freedom that most people long for. The book takes the reader on a fascinating life journey exploring past lives, various forms of meditation, and energy healing of body, mind, and spirit. He has extensively studied Christian Mysticism, Kabbalah, Hermetics, Sufism, various energy healing techniques, and many different types of meditation. Dean also gives the reader methods whereby they too can begin their own journey of self discovery. Dr. Norm Shealy says of the book, "Many Americans suffer ridicule, abandonment, and abuse in childhood. Few of them recover and live even a reasonably happy life. Rarest of all is the unique one who thrives and develops a successful spiritual action model. Here is that exception! " Cheryl Murphy psychic medium said, "Dean Andrea's book is a biographical tale of perseverance through terrible emotional damage until he was finally able to arrive at a self discovery of love and belonging in his mind and spirit. Reading about his quest was an inspirational and meaningful experience for me."
