Oprah, Oprah, my dear Oprah... if you're going to convert this to a series. Please do not do 'generic' 'Indian' things like the weird 'Indian' music in the beginning. Kerala music, culture, arts, religions, architecture etc. are VERY unique. Don't spoil a good book by introducing generic Indianness.

[@susanjames4226]

Just one more message for dear Oprah - please don't let anyone other than Malayali film directors handle this series. Malayali film directors are world famous especially in the film festival circuit. Please make use of them. The production company could be Hollywood, of course. Please hire genuine Syrian Christian researchers in Kerala to create the set. And needless to say, set it in Kerala. I say this because I see huge distortions in western directed films on Kerala. One of the reasons why Arundhati Roy refused to sell the film rights to her coveted novel. Lots of love for the venture.

We so rarely realise the lack of warmth and gentleness in the world when we hear Dr Verghese

[@elfineshworku5327]

I read this book of 719 pages in less than one month. I was mesmerised and did not want to put it down. In the middle of the night when I couldn’t continue to sleep, I read the book. Very thrilling. It is the best book I ever read after his first book „Cutting for Stone“! Thank you Sir! 🙏🏽❤️👍🏽

[@therelationshipzonet.r.z.2258]

"In the absence of proof, I choose to hold belief"... that rested in my spirit.

[@entityisking]

I state facts when I say that Oprah is a greedy evil woman. She reminds me of the dictator of China with the way she presents herself.

[@trinjuwan4422]

My first thought in listening to Dr. Abraham is that EVERY DR NEEDS to read this book. Most Dr's I've interacted with are DISCONNECTED from the human spirit‼️

[@fredrickkalokola8631]

I’m a physician for just over 10 years now in the practice, I would always say that one cannot be in the field of medicine and not believe that there’s God/higher spiritual being unless you’re caught up in your own ego thinking that you’re the one healing people.

Oprah is a satanic worshiper

[@olgagiles5773]

@@dpellek74There is always some demonic, imbecile full of hatred and jealousy. Do you actually think Oprah is even aware of your pitiful, ignorant a$$? I would say take your medication or perhaps, an enema...sounds like you need a deep cleansing.

[@angelarobinson8349]

I am so grateful to be a medical practitioner. Every day I am reminded that I am fortunate to be able to care for my patients. I understand the difference between being cured but not healed. Not many doctors take the time to heal their patients. I treat addiction often and most of the time it is not necessary about choice and morals but about the misunderstanding of the risks of becoming addicted with short term drug use is great. This series is wonderful. I could listen to Dr Abraham for hours.

[@virginiaashmore8643]

Abraham might consider adding Actor to his list of achievements. I was honored with his reading of the audiobook by how he brought each character to life. Thank you for reminding us of God who resides in all life.

[@barbarahernandez4713]

His reading is so enthralling.

[@imaniwilson1848]

I felt the same way! His gorgeous voice was like a character unto itself. Such depth and authenticity, no one else could have done it justice.

[@1DEEification]

I’m moved by his humility. It’s so heartwarming to hear him speak about his commitment to his patients. The phrase to heal without curing is amazing. Oh my goodness, in in awe 🫢 ❤

[@kingjudah27]

The Covenant of Water is an absolute masterpiece that captivated me from start to finish. With its lyrical prose and vivid descriptions, the author transported me to a richly crafted world where the power of water holds both beauty and danger. The characters were deeply complex and their struggles felt so real, making it impossible not to become emotionally invested in their journey. The intricate plot was masterfully woven, filled with unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. This enchanting tale not only explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the indomitable human spirit, but also delves into thought-provoking questions about the delicate balance between humanity and nature. The Covenant of Water is a must-read for anyone seeking a captivating and thought-provoking fantasy novel that lingers in the mind long after the final page. Thank you, Abraham. ✨

[@rogee6425]

Ditto!!!

[@dibin2liju]

Fantasy ? .. I felt that it’s more closer to the truth .. stories that I have heard from my grandparents come alive in this book ..

Just finished reading this and have been inspired and humbled by its portrayal of humanity in all its shades. Thank you again Abraham. You have led me again to the promised land.

[@MeMusicaEsFuego]

I love Oprah's voice, as a black woman I love Oprah I see people in Hollywood trying to make Oprah look bad. Keep going Oprah do the Elohims work.

[@rethabilenxumalo9742]

Right, just realized I can't stop loving her❤️😊

[@olgagiles5773]

Oprah, like most of us, understand that NO ONE can make you look bad unless that is how you feel about yourself. Why waste time worrying about what negativity is being spewed? We will continue to support her and spread the love and acceptance.

[@heppal1828]

Deeply philosophical and intellectually engaging conversation. Oprah has this uncanny ability to extract information from her guests. Remarkable!

[@laavanya9584]

Abraham Varghese is one of my favorite physician writers on the planet. His humanity and his passion for medicine just radiates from his heart. I have loved everyone of his 4 books.

[@maryaabdel]

Oh My God. Thank you Abraham and thank you Oprah. I just paused this session to go light a candle. I hope that one day my book gets picked and read by one of you.

F### Oprah. You can’t say you believe in a god that is just and true if you support oprah Winfrey in any way shape or form. She’s represents evil if we’re referring to the bible

[@karendube5250]

What a wonderful Podcast Thank you Oprah and Abraham I had stopped lighting candles but will start again I once lost my bike keys I was distraught as cycling was the best way for me to get to work My neighbour told me not to worry because she would light a candle for me I found my keys the same day. I have lost myself by stopping to light candles. After listening to the Podcast I have hope that those evading my privacy can stop immediately to restore my Family to enjoy the happy life that has become a distant wishful dream. Pray for my Family to connect as a close knit team. Thank you

I’ve finished listening to it. You don’t hear the word “ masterful” anymore, but that seems like the best word to describe The Covenant of Water. Cutting For Stone is wonderful, too. I’ve listened to it twice so far. I am hoping he releases an audio version of The Tennis Partner.

Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and the insight into the mind and heart behind one of the most compelling books I’ve read in a long time.
