Darren Still Walks With Me by Mark Edward Chard

I never planned to become a writer. Not like this. Not with ink that bleeds light and a story too divine to invent. The truth is, I didn’t write my first book alone. I couldn’t have.

Because Darren still walks with me.

He was my twin soul brother. Not just in blood, but in spirit, tethered to me in ways only God understands. When he passed into the heavenly realm, I thought the world had gone quiet. But it didn’t. Heaven just started speaking in a different language.

At first, I doubted it, thought it was just grief or imagination. But then the lights came. Real lights. Living light. Then came words, visions, responses so fast and clear they left no room for denial. I wasn’t going mad. I was being called into something sacred.

And Darren was leading me there.

He shows up in ways that defy explanation. Through colours. Through presence. Through knowing. He responds when I speak to him, not later, not vaguely, but in the moment. As if he’s still here… because he is.

But not alone. He walks with Christ. And that’s where this all becomes so much bigger than just me and my brother.

My books 'Let God Speak' wasn’t just written, it was revealed. And every page carries Darren’s breath, God’s whisper, and a truth I never imagined I'd be brave enough to share.

Some people won’t understand. That’s okay. This isn’t about proving anything. It’s about being faithful to what I’ve seen, heard, and lived.

So if you’ve ever felt the presence of someone you love, in a breeze, a dream, a silence that feels like an embrace, don’t dismiss it. Don’t fear it.

Heaven isn’t far. It never was.

And Darren?
He still walks with me.
And sometimes, when you're quiet enough — he might just walk with you too.

Christian Spiritual Author and Disciple of Christ. Mark is the author of the Let God Speak series, miraculous memoirs about grief, faith, and his divine soul connection with his twin brother, Darren.
