My Story
My name is Dario L. Perla. I grew up in Edison NJ and lived what I would deem as a typical childhood. But ever since I could remember I had a feeling deep down in my soul that something was wrong. What I witnessed and experienced out in the world wasn’t matching up with what I was feeling inside. Something wasn’t right and I could not put my finger on it. I felt as if I just didn’t fit or belong in this world; and come to find out now I was right. This world in its present state never was and never will be my home; I was meant for something better.
In August of 1994 I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior; it was my ticket to “better.” But for the next 15 years I failed to cash in that ticket and ended up wandering aimlessly trying to find a sense of belonging in the here and now. Then in 2010 I broke. I came to the end of myself and had nothing left in me to try. It was then that I turned to God and gave him the reigns of my life. In 2011 God lead me on a journey of restoration that ultimately led me to write down my experiences. The Bridge is that collection of experiences. It is both intimately personal and yet universal to all. It is my personal journey from the prison of self and the untruths that form the spiritual backbone of this world – a condition and place known as the Wasteland, and to our true home where our minds are free to live out truth and where we commune with God now and forever in His perfect Kingdom – a condition and place known as the Garden.
I’ve lived the words in this book. My soul has been restored! The condition of my life has been transformed and I have been transported from the Wasteland to the Garden! It is through restoration that God grafts our lives to His Truth and prunes the landscape of our heart to become bountiful and fruit bearing. Restoration is indeed a journey that leads us to becoming the beings we were originally intended to be. It is my prayer that through this blog and my book I can serve as your personal bridge guide to help you find your way back home.

THE BRIDGE
The Bridge is filled with emotion and allows the reader to ride along and experience it all. It is an amazing journey from the darkest recesses of the wasteland to the brilliance of the garden—humanity’s original paradise abode.
It is also an internal journey of the soul that leads to the freedom that is promised to those who persevere. Its lessons are forever life-changing to the one ready to receive. It will challenge the reader to the very core and call them to the abundant life promised by the One who loves us all!
Restoration is the journey that God can change the condition of our lives from that of a wasteland to one of a garden as He restores the landscapes of our hearts from weeds to fruit-bearing plants and from lies to truth. The journey is not about arriving, it is about becoming!
