Summary

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.

Excellent excellent excellent!

A brilliantly honest and deeply encouraging story of faith and compassion alongside incredibly competent medical skill. The power of forgiveness is so rarely presented in any form, but to hear these true stories of forgiveness offered and received are profoundly moving.

Fantastic read/listen

This book will stay with me for a long time. It impacted my thinking greatly on the mind/body connection and how stress and unforgiveness has an impact on our physical health. I wish there were more Drs like Dr Levy who care for their patient's physical, spiritual and emotional wellbeing. A first class read 💙

Loved it!

Written by a doctor who understands that we are whole beings, no part of our bodies stand alone.
What came through for me was humility, compassion and grace. Sadly we don't see too many doctors who care enough.

Attention grabbing

Very well narrated.
Even for me as a novice of the whole Neurology and it’s related issues this was really easy to get immersed in.
I throughly enjoyed every single story.
And the Author’s journey was so real.
Loved it, I didn’t want it to end.
