Ravished by Beauty: The Surprising Legacy of Reformed Spirituality

Product Information

Oh did they not mention that to you earlier? All these people are here to bid on you and find out who gets to take you home!” I still find elements of Lane's God very troubling. Reformed theology fails, for me, most clearly at the point of theodicy. I recently blogged about this here: http://escottjones.typepad.com/myques...

Sorry, guess we should have warned you to savor those last few minutes of it.”

Excellent, and when you mask her please put these in place per usual. I don’t believe slave sluts deserve fresh air…”Hanna’s hands were shaking as she unzipped her skin tight spandex suit and began pulling it off. As she pulled it down her body the goons began to laugh.

Better hope I don’t win hot stuff, my last slave literally went insane after a month of being worked over by me.” Now I know you are miserable and scared right now, but believe me, it is about to get soooo much worse for you. So my advice is enjoy these quiet moments, because you’ll be missing them soon enough.” Please list any fees and grants from, employment by, consultancy for, shared ownership in or any close relationship with, at any time over the preceding 36 months, any organisation whose interests may be affected by the publication of the response.

The dollar amount kept jumping up, soon there was a bidding war as the sadists seemed to agree with the auctioneer that they did not want to miss out on this particular victim I think Lane has done a fine job exploring an oft-ignored part of Reformed spirituality: an emphasis on beauty and desire. The Reformed tradition is not typically associated with a robust and genuine spirituality, though, as Lane helpfully shows us, this is a serious (and seriously common) misreading of the Reformed tradition. Lane helpfully rebuts some of these mischaracterizations by reading Calvin, the Puritans, and Edwards for an ecology of desire, something stimulated by God's own loveliness, beauty, and splendor. "For them, the spiritual life necessarily begins with longing" (213).

Hanna slipped the leather boots on then hesitantly lowered herself to the floor. She was not looking forward to her reprieve from tight bondage ending. Lane is too concerned with leftish ecological "catastrophes" to be informative. But he does let the Reformers and those in their line speak for themselves enough to be a valuable source of good, solid Christian spirituality. Like a poor tour-guide who spends more time in the gift shop than at the Grand Canyon, you at least can ignore the guide and be stunned by beauty yourself. That's about as good as this book gets.

Overall the orange outfit might be a little strange if it weren’t for the fact she was an Olympic speedskater. The poor 19 year old had been jumped by several thugs right after having completed a couple hours of intense solo training. Fatigued as she was, she was unable to offer any real resistance as the men tightly bound her. Other than pulling her skates off her she was dressed exactly as she had been seven hours ago before her life changed forever. Hanna’s face hurt from how tightly the man was gripping it while discussing her beauty. It was hardly the only thing hurting on the poor woman though, her tight spandex bodysuit provided no real protection from the viciously tight ropes that were squeezing her all over.
