Publisher Description
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, readers get to look over Dr. Levy’s shoulder as he 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 watch 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.
Customer Reviews
Prayer and the physician
This book is beautifully and honestly written. As a Pediatrician and Christian who has been praying with my patients for just the past year, this book was exactly what I needed at this point in my career and my walk with Christ. It provided me much needed conformation that I am doing the right thing, and also direction and much needed guidance. Additionally, I enjoyed the technical and medical case scenarios. Thank you for being obedient to God and writing/publishing this book.
