Software Engineer's Memoir Chronicles Divine Synchronicities and Spiritual Awakening

In a world where logic often reigns supreme, software engineer Steve E. Callas challenges the boundaries of reason with his new memoir, The 100 Year Old Prophet: The Second Greatest Story Ever Told. Released on September 23, 2025, the book details Callas's transformation from a skeptical observer to a believer in divine intervention, driven by a series of uncanny synchronicities following the deaths of his father and sister.

Callas, a nearly thirty-year veteran of the corporate software world, never anticipated becoming a chronicler of spiritual phenomena. Yet, after experiencing events like hearing a 'heart attack' warning on television precisely as paramedics arrived for a family member, he began documenting what he calls 'breadcrumbs' pointing to a higher plan. 'I'm the only chicken in the soup,' Callas jokes, referencing the 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' style of his book, but emphasizing that these are his own lived experiences. He sees himself as a 'supporting character,' with those he interacts with as the main characters, illustrating how simple acts like a smile can have profound impacts.

The memoir explores several key themes, including the power of connection through his 'UMatter' mission, which originated from a heartfelt moment with his aunt. Healing through humor is another pillar, as Callas uses wit to navigate health scares and family rifts. He also shares personal stories of 'winks from heaven' that provided comfort after the loss of his brother Greg and sister Nikki. Notably, the 'Cracker Barrel Chronicles' recount heartwarming encounters with waitstaff and customers that redefined his understanding of faith and community.

Callas's journey is not that of a medium, but of a witness to what he calls 'miracles of the mundane.' He writes, 'God's plan is perfect, and He never gives you more than you can handle.' The book is available on Amazon and published by World Publishing Company. For readers seeking inspiration, this memoir offers a testament to finding purpose in life's coincidences and the power of human connection.
