**Thriving stand-up comic and actress Yvonne Orji--best known as Issa
Rae's BFF on the HBO series, Insecure--shares the secrets to living
the life of your dreams.
Yvonne Orji has never shied away from being unapologetically herself,
and that includes being outspoken about her faith. Known for
interpreting Biblical stories and metaphors to fit current times, her
humorous and accessible approach to faith leaves even non-believers
inspired and wanting more.
The way Yvonne sees it, God is a Sovereign Prankster, punking folks long
before Ashton Kutcher made it cool. When she meditates on her own
life--complete with unforeseen blessings and unanticipated
roadblocks--she realizes it's one big testimony to how God tricked her
into living out her wildest dreams. And she wants us to join in on
getting bamboozled. This is not a Self-Help book--it's a Get Yours book!
In Bamboozled by Jesus, a frank and fresh advice book, Orji takes
readers on a journey through twenty-five life lessons, gleaned from her
own experiences and her favorite source of inspiration: the Bible. But
this ain't your mama's Bible study. Yvonne infuses wit and heart in
sharing pointers like why the way up is sometimes down, and how fear is
synonymous to 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've imagined--if it wasn't
your own.
