What Is mariannemanley.com and Who Is Marianne Manley?
Updated
mariannemanley.com is the personal ministry and author website of Marianne Manley, a retired registered nurse and certified nurse-midwife who now writes and teaches about “rightly dividing” the King James Version Bible. The site serves as a hub for her author background, her books, a San Diego and online Bible study, and free downloads, and it directs visitors to her Amazon author page to purchase books. It is a content and ministry site rather than a storefront; book sales happen on Amazon.
Who Marianne Manley Is
The site describes Manley as “The Christian midwife.” Her professional background is as a retired RN, CNM (Registered Nurse and Certified Nurse-Midwife). After retiring from midwifery, she turned to studying, writing, and teaching about “Rightly Dividing,” a reference to 2 Timothy 2:15, and she uses the King James Bible (Authorized Version).
Her books fall into two categories, according to the site:
- Rightly dividing the Word of Truth — Bible study and commentary titles.
- Midwife books — works on Christian natural childbirth at home with a midwife, plus other books written before she retired.
What You’ll Find on the Site
The navigation covers Home, About, Contact, Bible study, Books, Rightly Dividing, and Homebirth. The main sections are:
About the Author
A short biography covering her nursing and midwifery career and her current focus on Bible study and writing.
Books
The featured title is God’s Secret: A Primer with Pictures for How to Rightly Divide the Word of Truth. The site describes it as a 100-page pictorial overview of the Bible organized into three sections — Past, Present, and Future — presented as an easy, clear, concise way to learn right division and understand the Bible better. It is listed in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle formats, with a Spanish edition and a lower-cost black-and-white edition that the site suggests for budget-conscious readers or Bible study groups. The site also notes that other people have translated God’s Secret and self-published their own translations.
Bible Study in San Diego & Online
An in-person study in San Diego that can also be streamed online via Facebook, YouTube, and other sites. The site cautions that the day and start time change from time to time, so visitors should check the website for the current schedule.
Free Downloads
A section offering free downloadable material. The site does not list the specific contents in the material reviewed here, so check the page directly for what is currently available.
Support the Ministry
A “Help this ministry” section for those who want to support the work.
How to Use the Site
- Start with About to confirm the author’s background and the site’s focus.
- Browse Books to see titles and formats; purchasing links go to Amazon rather than through this site.
- Check Bible study for the current San Diego meeting day and time, or to find the online stream.
- Visit Free downloads if you want sample or supplementary material before buying a book.
What to Keep in Mind
- The site is a ministry and author presence, not a bookstore — expect to complete purchases on Amazon.
- The Bible study schedule is not fixed, so verify the current time before attending or streaming.
- The material is written from a specific theological position (rightly dividing the KJV), so read the book descriptions to confirm the approach matches what you’re looking for.
If your interest is the author’s background, her books, or a San Diego/online Bible study, the site provides all three and points you to Amazon for the books themselves.
