Gray Matter: A Neurosurgeon Discovers the Power of Prayer ... One Patient at a Time Free Audiobook Download by David I. Levy MD

David I. Levy MD, a neurosurgeon, travels the country listening to patients' stories of suffering and recovery. From each story he learns about human resilience and the power of hope. Levy does not think that god is something that can be defined or explained; he thinks people should believe in god if they want to. He says that anyone who believes in a power greater than themselves should call on them for help.

Dr. David Levy wakes with a start, jolting his head back against the pillow as he squints and tries to make sense of what woke him up: a rapid, insistent knocking at the door. The clock reads 3:10 A.M., but there is no mistaking the sound: Someone is pounding on the front door loudly, insistently, over and over again. He rushes downstairs in his boxer shorts and robe to find out who could be calling so late—his assistant must have left her phone by accident—but before he can reach the front door, it swings open to reveal a haggard-looking woman in her sixties who is clearly distraught.

Dr. David I. Levy, a neurosurgeon and a follower of Judaism, shares his personal journey of how he rediscovered the power of prayer at the most difficult time in his career as a neurosurgeon when he was caring for patients with life-threatening conditions. He decided to take his own advice and began to pray for all aspects of his patients lives including their families, co-workers, friends, employers, etc. Dr. Levy also explains that the healing powers are not limited to just those who believe in God or any religious beliefs; people from all backgrounds can come together and pray for the common good.

Larry Wayne, a neurosurgeon, is faced with the prospect of having to remove part of his own brain to save his son's life. He learns from a support group that prayer can help alleviate some of the emotional pain. When he starts praying for the people who will be undergoing the surgery in order to give them peace and calm during their operation, it doesn't take long for miracles to start happening.

The author, David Levy, gives a fascinating account of how he discovered the power of prayer while treating a patient with a brain tumor. He tells the story of when his patient had to undergo surgery and was in dire need of help from the prayers of her relatives and friends. As soon as she woke up from surgery, which proved successful, Levy had an experience that changed his life.
