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.

Highly recommend, a wonderful read.
Beautifully written and easy to understand even though there are many medical terms.
This book taught me that being more forgiving to others is very beneficial for inner peace and incredibly important for our own health.

Power of Prayer
It was enlightening to hear and learn more about the power of prayer in our lives and how God is always there in any situation as the ultimate healer today and tomorrow. I really liked how there was healing through forgiveness when the Dr asked about that with his patients and allowed praying through with them if they chose.

This is a very encouraging and up lifting book.
I appreciated David’s honesty, his willingness to stand up for his faith. I loved how he respected others. His simple heartfelt prayers gave his patients and their families comfort and peace. I learned a lot about aneurysms and treatment. I am already recommending this book to friends and would like my Grandson who is taking a mechanic ticket to see where it could possibly lead him. He wants to be a sports doctor.
