In his debut book, The 100 Year Old Prophet: The Second Greatest Story Ever Told, author Steve E. Callas chronicles an extraordinary journey from isolation and skepticism to a life guided by what he calls 'Perfect Timing' and 'Winks from Heaven.' After the loss of his father and sister, Callas found himself navigating a series of uncanny synchronicities, events so precise they defied logical explanation. From hearing a 'heart attack' warning on TV just as paramedics arrived, to encountering strangers who spoke the exact words he had just thought, Callas began to document these 'breadcrumbs' that suggested a divine plan at work.
'I'm the only chicken in the soup,' Callas jokes, referencing the 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' style of the book, but emphasizing that these are his own lived experiences. 'I see myself as a supporting character in these stories. Those I interact with are the main characters, and it shows how just a simple smile can have such a tremendous impact.' Key themes of The 100 Year Old Prophet include the power of connection through his 'UMatter' mission, healing through humor even in dark moments, personal stories of 'winks from heaven' following the deaths of his brother and sister, and heartwarming encounters at Cracker Barrel that redefined his understanding of faith and community.
Part spiritual awakening, part humorous memoir, The 100 Year Old Prophet is written for anyone who has ever 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.' 'God's plan is perfect,' Callas writes, 'and He never gives you more than you can handle.'
