About this listen

A perfect blend of medical drama and spiritual insight, Gray Matter is a fascinating account of Dr. David Levy's decision to begin asking his patients if he could pray for them before surgery. Some are thrilled. Some are skeptical. Some are hostile, and some are quite literally transformed by the request.

Each chapter focuses on a specific case, opening with a detailed description of the patient's diagnosis and the procedure that will need to be performed, followed by the prayer request. From there, listeners follow as Dr. Levy performs the operation, and then we wait - right alongside Dr. Levy, the patients, and their families - to see the final results.

Dr. Levy's musings on what successful and unsuccessful surgical results imply about God, faith, and the power of prayer are honest and insightful. As we see him come to his ultimate conclusion that, no matter what the results of the procedure are, "God is good," we cannot help but be truly moved and inspired.

Great to see prayer in the medical field

Listening to how this surgeon navigated the obstacles of bringing prayer in the medical field and to his patients makes me want to ask my doctors to do it too. Great book.

What an amazing doctor! God bless him.

This was a wonderful story. It's great to know that there are medical professionals that count on God as well as their talents to help people. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Anyone struggling to stand up for their Christian beliefs should order this book.

Great book

Stories like this often inspire and keep me going in life. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Especially to anyone in or pursuing the medical field that they might consider treating the whole health and not just the physical.
