"I have no authority but that which the Lord has given me. I have no gifts but those which He has bestowed upon me. I have no life but that which He has breathed into me. And of course, I have no words but those which He has created. Please, Lord, breathe life into these words to Your glory." In this refreshing, inspirational devotional, the second in a series, Cheryl Lynn Betz provides guidance through Scriptures in a friendly, warm, conversational manner with poignant, applicable messages. Cheryl outlines how the Scriptures can be relevant to daily life and offers motivation and impetus to spend more time in the Word than most devotionals. Compiled of sixty messages and teachings, each is broken into four sections: Scripture references and quotes; the devotional message, which varies from anecdotes to scriptural teachings; a "Plan of Action" consisting of introspective questions to ask yourself and exercise practical application with what you've read; and a concluding prayer that summarizes and reemphasizes what you have just examined and leads you to consider it with the Lord. Whether you have a few minutes or a few hours, Cheryl provides the guidance you need to begin. Whether you have just begun listening to the Lord's influence in your life, or have been a Christian for many years and are seeking to deepen your understanding, Cheryl provides help in looking to God to answer some of life's toughest questions, to follow His lead to a greater purpose. Cheryl Lynn Betz is one of the Lord's works in progress, serving Him as an ambassador for Christ in the roles of wife, mother, writer, speaker, teacher, and businesswoman. Her mission is to help equip fellow believers in Christ to "become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-13 NIV). It is her prayer that the Lord uses her work to draw people to Himself. Cheryl lives with her husband in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains in Eastern Kentucky. They have two adult children.

Even a Time Lord can’t change the past. A wasteland. A dead world... No, there is a biodome, rising from the ash. Here, life teems and flourishes, with strange and lush plants, and many-winged insects with bright carapaces – and one solitary sentient creature, who spends its days watering the plants, talking to the insects, and tending this lonely garden. This is Inyit, the Last of the Kotturuh. In All Flesh is Grass we are transported back to The Dark Times. The Tenth Doctor has sworn to stop the Kotturuh, ending Death and bringing Life to the universe. But his plan is unravelling – instead of bringing Life, nothing has changed and all around him people are dying. Death is everywhere. Now he must confront his former selves – one in league with their greatest nemesis and the other manning a ship of the undead...

We live forever, barring accidents. Just like everyone else in the universe. The Doctor travels back to the Ancient Days, an era where life flourishes and death is barely known... Then come the Kotturuh – creatures who spread through the cosmos dispensing mortality. They judge each and every species and decree its allotted time to live. For the first time, living things know the fear of ending. And they will go to any lengths to escape this grim new spectre, death. The Doctor is an old hand at cheating death. Now, at last, he can stop it at source. He is coming for the Kotturuh, ready to change everything so that Life wins from the start. Not just the last of the Time Lords. The Time Lord Victorious.
