Ravished by Beauty: The Surprising Legacy of Reformed Spirituality

Product Information

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). Now listen here bitch, we are going to untie you, and you are going to be a good little slut and do what you are told, or else….” 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. Now then, you all will be given some time to come up and take a closer look at our fine specimen. Feel free to touch her all you like, that’s why she is gagged so we don’t have to hear her thoughts on it. And as I said we do have some binders up here with additional information if you want to look!” WARNING: The following story contains non-consensual scenarios and is intended for adults only. All real world bondage should ALWAYS be consensual and done in a safe way. If you ever find yourself tempted to do something non-consensual PLEASE get yourself mental help. Do not attempt to replicate any aspect of this story as the bondage is not safe. Some readers may find some elements of this story offensive, reader discretion is advised.

The demented host reached into the box and removed a card. He looked at it and smiled evilly at Hanna who whimpered miserably into her gag.Now obviously you can’t see it because of her gag, but I can assure you she is a true European beauty. We have copious pictures for you to look through, taken from her social media and news interviews. We also got some lovely candid shots from her home so you can see she is still a specimen of beauty even when she isn’t trying!”

The man jabbed the cattle prod into her stomach causing her to collapse to the ground. Not in the mood to wait and see if she would cooperate, they began undressing her by force. The leather biker girl outfit was pulled off her and thrown to the side. She grunted with discomfort as the men none too gently pulled the skin tight leather pants off her muscular legs. Soon the leather pants were replaced by the tight spandex. Just like the earlier clothing, the pants were clearly too small for her, squeezing uncomfortably snug around her legs and only going down to around mid calf. The sports bra was soon pulled over her, completing her wardrobe change. He also has engaging sections on Puritan views of sexual desire which are akin to James McClendon's treatment of the same topic, but advancing and expanding it in ways that I think could resonate with theologians like Gerard Loughlin (whose own writing is queer positive). This has sparked my imagination to do some work on desire in the next year or so in a sermon series or something. Even worse the threats the sadists were making were growing more and more demented. Hanna had no idea if the threats were serious or just the sadists relishing in verbally tormenting her. 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. Can you just hear that? A muscular ass just sounds different than a normal one. Those of you who like working over your slaves with flogs, whips, or canes DO NOT want to miss out on this ass.”

The auctioneer whispered the last sentence so only Hanna could hear him, eliciting a terrified whimper from the miserable girl. As you can all see she is in peak athletic condition, especially those legs and that ass. Can you just imagine working that muscular rear over with a flog or whip??”

I’m going to fill your ears with foam and super glue and tape a whole roll of duct tape around your eyes after covering them with numerous wads of cotton. You’ll be blind and deaf for the rest of your miserable life.” Mmmm I have a nice new flog I just bought that would be perfect on her, can you imagine how cute her legs would be nice and red from a good working over?”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.” You are so fit, I bet you’ll manage to last at least a month. Most of my slaves get buried alive after only a couple of weeks…”

Oh if you think this little crop is bad in your tummy just wait until you are naked and hanging from my ceiling being introduced to my whip.” The Ravishing Beauties first played at Club Zoo in Liverpool and followed this with the support tour with The Teardrop Explodes. Virginia wrote most of the band's songs, some of which appeared on her first solo project with Why-Fi. The band was short lived, with St. John first becoming a model and then eventually a member of The Dream Academy, while Holland did session work and joined Tears for Fears. Excellent, and when you mask her please put these in place per usual. I don’t believe slave sluts deserve fresh air…”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. A short, balding man wearing an obnoxious acid green suit was eagerly talking to the assembled crowd. The crowd were all dressed as though they were at a ball and were all wearing masquerade masks to hide their identities. A murmur of excitement rose up from the crowd as the upcoming lot was what many of them had come for.
