Volume 1 Price Edit cover. The Princess and the Power! After the Amazons forget their purpose, and fall prey to the machinations of Ares, a group of Amazons led by Hippolyte rededicate themselves to their task.
Time passes, and when Hippolyte yearns for the child she never had, the goddesses tell her to create a child from clay, which they animate, and whom the queen names Diana. After Diana has grown, the goddesses ask the Amazons to choose a champion to confront a new scheme of Ares'. In a truly grass-roots project, the authors take the reader along to listen to the voices of Native American medicine women, Southwest Hispanic curanderas, and women physicians as they describe their healing paths.
This book will fascinate anyone interested in the relationship between illness and healing-medical practitioners and historians, patients, anthropologists, feminists, psychologists, psychiatrists, theologians, sociologists, folklorists, and others who seek understanding about our relationship to the forces of both illness and healing.

We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork. This commentary is designed to help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand 2 Corinthians in a simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version NIV , the author provides helpful commentary on the text verse-by-verse.
This verse-by-verse commentary is different from others in two respects. First, it is brief while some commentaries are unnecessarily wordy and verbose. Second, it is Pentecostal in outlook. This implies that we generally adhere to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and adopt a literalist approach to the interpretation of the Bible. Second Corinthians has been described as the most autobiographical epistle Paul ever wrote. At Corinth, Pauls ministry was under fire and he was forced to defend himself.
And in so doing, she collides with the ignorance and imbalances of the twenty-first century, battling injustice as Wonder Woman. But even with skills and abilities to rival those of her Olympian namesake, Diana is put to the supreme test as the horrors of the ancient past rise again to wreak havoc upon the world. Now her indomitable will and astounding powers are pitted against the patient and all-encompassing malice of the War God Ares, who feeds on the strife created by humanity's propensity to turn against itself"-P.
There are no reviews yet. Instead of getting a swanky city already built for them, the Amazons have to do it themselves. Centuries pass and Athena gets some strange feelings welling up in her, and she asks Menalippe what they are. If I had been her, I would have ridden off with Antiope, but whatever. The Amazon with a direct line to the gods explains that what Hippolyte is feeling is a maternal urge; of all the women reborn, she was the only one who had been pregnant when she died.
Oh, so Hippolyte was the cavewoman from the start of the story! And the final soul left in the well was her child. With each god and hey, another male god gets to play. Honestly, I kid; this is a female-centric story, and the female gods should darn well take center stage and dominate granting the babe a power, it feels very Captain Marvel-like. The red and gold Captain Marvel, I mean.
The good one. The baby grows into a girl, and then into a woman, all the while the Amazons imparting to her all the knowledge of their scholars, and the skills of hunting and fighting. After the others have left, Diana approaches her mother and asks to be included in the tournament, but Hippolyte forbids it. Diana, despondent, feels a need for purpose.
And a voice off-camera tells her that a purpose she will have. The following day, the tournament begins and the participating Amazons are all decked out in similar armor, including face covering helmets. The contestants are put through their paces, exhibiting feats of strength, martial skills, and combat, until….
Man, lots of questions here; where did that gun come from? What is this secret and terrible past that the gun represents? And thus…. Absolute Wonder Woman Gods and Mortals.
