Mr Morne Johan Slabbert

Morné Johan Slabbert is an author whose writing is shaped by faith, life experience, martial arts, and a desire to encourage others.

His Christian books explore faith, perseverance, hope, purpose, and trusting God through the challenges of everyday life. Through works such as the Faith Over series, he seeks to offer practical encouragement to readers facing fear, doubt, failure, uncertainty, and difficult seasons.

A lifelong martial artist and teacher, Morné also writes about the values and philosophy that extend beyond the dojo—discipline, humility, perseverance, respect, self-control, and continuous personal growth. His martial arts books draw on decades of experience and reflect his belief that the greatest lessons of martial arts are often lessons for life.

His quieter reflective works explore stillness, gratitude, faith, and finding meaning in ordinary moments.

Morné also writes children's stories, including the Adventures of Abdul the Grasshopper, using gentle storytelling to introduce younger readers to friendship, courage, kindness, perseverance, and other positive values.

Across different genres and audiences, a common thread runs through his writing: encouraging people to keep moving forward, remain grounded in faith and good values, and discover strength and purpose along the journey.
