Software Engineer Turned Prophet: A Journey of Winks from Heaven

In his debut book, The 100 Year Old Prophet: The Second Greatest Story Ever Told, author Steve E. Callas—a software engineer with nearly three decades of corporate experience—recounts a remarkable shift from skepticism to embracing what he calls 'Perfect Timing' and 'Winks from Heaven.' After the loss of his father and sister, Callas began experiencing uncanny synchronicities, such as hearing a 'heart attack' warning on TV just as paramedics arrived, and encountering strangers who spoke his exact thoughts. These events led him to document 'breadcrumbs' suggesting a divine plan. Callas describes his book as a 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' style memoir, but emphasizes that these are his own lived experiences. He sees himself as a supporting character, with those he interacts with as the main characters, demonstrating how a simple smile can have a tremendous impact.

Key themes include the power of connection through his 'UMatter' mission, healing through humor even during health scares and family rifts, and signs in the silence that provided comfort after the deaths of his brother, Greg, and sister, Nikki. The book also features 'The Cracker Barrel Chronicles,' heartwarming encounters with staff and customers that redefined his understanding of faith and community. Callas, who also performed as a 'Purple Dinosaur' and Santa Claus at his local Cracker Barrel, uses his background as a performer to bring warmth and relatability to his stories. The book is available on Click Here for Amazon and published by World Publishing Company.

Part spiritual awakening, part humorous memoir, The 100 Year Old Prophet is written for anyone who has felt lost, misunderstood, or wondered if there is a higher purpose behind life's coincidences. Callas doesn't claim to be a medium, but rather a witness to the 'miracles of the mundane.' He writes, 'God's plan is perfect, and He never gives you more than you can handle.' The book's release date was September 23rd, 2025. For more information or to schedule an interview, contact Steve at the100yearoldprophet@gmail.com.
