S.M. Fachie
Author of sacred nonfiction rooted in wonder, Scripture, and the slow soul.
About S.M. Fachie
I am S.M. Fachie — a South African author, theology student, and keeper of quiet stories. My words are slow on purpose. I write for the grace-starved, the spiritually homesick, and anyone who’s ever wondered if they’ve wandered too far.
Across years of listening — in classrooms, chapels, and under acacia trees — I’ve learned this: God meets us in the grainline of our stories. Always.
S.M. Fachie writes for the grace-starved, the grieving, and those seeking gentler faith. His debut, Whispers of Wood, draws on biblical metaphors of trees and wood to offer devotional comfort rooted in the eternal story of hope and redemption.
Speaking and Events
Speaking & Events Some messages are meant to be carried by voice. I speak on redemption, resilience, and the sacred in the everyday. From retreats and conferences to intimate church gatherings, I bring Scripture and story together to help communities slow down and see God’s fingerprints again. 2026 calendar opens in January — limited dates before Easter launch.
