EnglishWhat Books Has Marianne Manley Written, and How Can Readers Get Them?
Updated
Marianne Manley's books fall into two categories: books about “rightly dividing” the King James Bible, and midwife books on Christian natural childbirth at home, written before she retired. Her best-known title, God's Secret: A Primer with Pictures for How to Rightly Divide the Word of Truth, is a roughly 100-page illustrated overview of the Bible organized into Past, Present, and Future sections. Readers can buy her books through the Amazon links on mariannemanley.com, which point to her author page.
Who Marianne Manley Is
Manley describes herself as “the Christian midwife.” She is a retired RN, CNM (Registered Nurse and Certified Nurse-Midwife) who now studies, writes, and teaches about “rightly dividing,” citing 2 Timothy 2:15, and she uses the King James Bible (Authorized Version). That background explains why her catalog splits between Bible-study material and childbirth books.
The Two Book Categories
| Category | Subject | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Rightly dividing the Word of Truth | Bible overview and commentary using the King James Bible | Her current focus; includes God's Secret and other commentaries |
| 2. Midwife books | Christian natural childbirth at home with a midwife | Written before she retired, alongside other earlier books |
