At its core, SOULUTIONS is a story about the human person-what we are, what we are not, and what cannot be taken from us. In an age racing toward artificial intelligence, neural augmentation, and transhumanist dreams, we are told that consciousness is code, morality is preference, and the soul is an outdated metaphor. But anyone who has suffered, loved, grieved, hoped, forgiven, or sacrificed knows that the human story cannot be reduced to circuitry. This novel pushes the boundaries of science and warfare, but it does so to explore something older and deeper: the conviction that human beings are souls first. Technology may sharpen our abilities, but it can never define our worth. It may threaten the body, but it cannot touch the eternal core of who we are. The battlefield in this story is real-geopolitical, tactical, global. But the greater battlefield is internal. The human heart is capable of courage and cruelty, truth and deception, sacrifice and destruction. Evil must be confronted not merely with force, but with integrity, discernment, and moral clarity. Through Colonel Steven Scott's journey-his experience of near-death, his encounter with the metaphysical, and his struggle with the consequences of extraordinary power-this novel asks a simple but profound question: If the soul is real, what does that mean for how we live, fight, suffer, and love? This story is anchored in a worldview where redemption is possible, suffering has meaning, love is stronger than death, and the soul endures beyond the reach of any machine. They remind us that the greatest acts of power do not come from technology, but from moral agency and self-giving sacrifice. SOULUTIONS is fiction, but its moral spine is real: that even in a world of advanced weapons and engineered intelligence, the most decisive force remains the human soul-flawed, resilient, accountable, and loved by God.
