Yvonne Orji has never been afraid to be her true self, and that includes being open about her faith. She is well-known for interpreting Biblical tales and analogies in modern times, and her lighthearted and approachable approach to faith inspires and entices even non-believers. According to Yvonne, God is a sovereign prankster who punked people long before Ashton Kutcher made it fashionable. She understands that her life is a testimony to how God duped her into living out her wildest aspirations when she meditates on it. And she wants us to join in on the trickery. This is not a self-help book; rather, it is a Get Yours book!

In Bamboozled by Jesus, Orji leads readers on a journey through twenty-five life lessons, drawn from her own experiences and her favorite source of inspiration: the Bible. But this is not your mother's Bible study. Yvonne infuses wit and heart into sharing tips like why the way up is sometimes down and how fear is synonymous with food poisoning. Her joyful, confident approach to God will inspire everyone to catapult themselves out of the mundane and into the magnificent.

With bold authenticity and practical relatability, Orji is exactly the kind of cultural leader we need in these chaotic times. And her journey through being Bamboozled by Jesus paints a powerful picture of what it means to say yes to a life you never could have imagined—if it wasn't your own.
