A perfect blend of medical drama and spiritual insight, Gray Matteris 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.… (mer)

I found Dr. Levy's book to be both interesting and inspiring. I loved especially that he shared the simple prayers he prays with patients and I have found myself trying to incorporate prayer into more of my daily tasks and with the people I love. I was also inspired by his courage to share his faith and encouraged that so many responded so positively. (

Amazing story of a renowned neuro-surgeon and his journey as he slowly grows in faith and practices praying with his patients. David Levy is amazingly honest, showing his weaknesses and failures, as well as spectacular answered prayers. (

Loved this book. Great to see how he started praying with patients, how uncomfortable he was, and then how he grew not only in faith, but also in relationships as he continued to pray with patients, but hospital staff and fellow physicians. (

NCLA Review -David Levy is a neurosurgeon practicing in San Diego, California. In this memoir, Levy describes his practice of offering to pray with his patients before surgery, and how this has transformed both him and his patients. The workmanlike writing is packed with medical detail, which will probably enthrall some and nauseate others, and the premise of the book is super simple—prayer helps—but there’s no doubt of Levy’s sincerity. For church libraries where spiritual memoirs are popular. Rating: 3 —KLF (
