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 lifecomplete with unforeseen blessings and unanticipated roadblocksshe realizes its 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 bookits 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 aint your mamas 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 couldve imaginedif it wasnt your own.

March-April non-fiction
Both books are 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but I related more to one as a woman of color. I might both re-read them eventually and take notes there were a lot of gems.

Wow what a great read. She did a great job making a link between the Bible and real life experiences. Great book to read if you‘re feeling down and need something inspiring to read. I will probably re-read this book eventually. She totally opposite than her popular character of Insecure.
