"Operating with God: A Surgeon's Stories of Emunah/Faith" by Dr. James Elist is a captivating journey through the life of a prominent surgeon, driven by his unwavering connection to His Creator. This remarkable memoir explores Dr. Elist's career, filled with unexpected encounters, Divine providence, and life-altering decisions. Dr. Elist is keenly aware of how God's hand weaves through his everyday experiences, and teaches us to be similarly attentive. From a fateful phone call to miraculous occurrences in the operating room, these stories emphasize the power of words, of commitment, and of reliance on a Higher Power.

A compelling testament to the interplay of medicine and Torah values, Dr. Elist's narrative reveals the profound impact of Judaism on his professional life (as well as on others'!) and how the difficult twists and turns ultimately became powerful lessons to live by. Fortunately for the general public, Dr. Elist decided to share his stories and insights with us so we too can "Operate with God."
