Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins

Publisher's summary

A hilarious and inspiring faith memoir and life guide.

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 realises 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 audiobook - it's a Get Yours audiobook!

In Bamboozled by Jesus, a frank and fresh advice audiobook, Orji takes listeners on a journey through 25 life lessons, gleaned from her own experiences and her favourite 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.

take it from me a spiritual but disappointed by religion person. this book was the best bible study i have ever experienced. i have always loved hearing the stories of others. how they have faced life head-on. this book has been a blessing and a reminder that your life is waiting for you to live it! thank you Yvonne💜

Loved every minute.

I love every minute of this book. I will definitely be re-reading and taking notes

Proudly Bamboozled

I get it and indeed can confirm being bamboozled by Jesus. Enjoyed the listen on my walks and drives. This encouraged me to take a step I had been postponing. As we would say on Swahili- Baraka tele (Blessings galore)

The most casual prophetic book you’ll find. This book will give you instructions and change your life

I loved listening to this. I didn’t know what to expect at first, but I want to thank Yvonne for listening to her calling, and giving us this book❤️

Loved It!

This book exceeded my expectations, and I'm not even sure what I was expecting.

Outstanding

The mixing of the bible and making it so relevant not just to the story but to the reader’s life, is just genius.

I felt the bamboozelment throughout! 🙏

I thoroughly enjoyed the book with a ton of giggles, introspection and the most important, relating to an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. This has been more than a faith Fuel stop! I'm camping, taking a number of notes and implementing. It's a must read if you want to increase your walk with Christ. You are amazing Yvonne thank you for allowing God to use you as a vessel, my faith level as I walk in my purpose has been expanded.

Faith Re-Activated

This book made want to re-look at my own relationship with God, get more personal and intimate with him.

I love that at every turn of Yvonne’s story, God is at the center but it doesn’t feel preachy. It’s inspiring.

Beautiful message

Yvonne is so down to earth and funny, that anyone can relate to her testimony. The message was beautifully told and well received.

Not really a memoir

I suspect that my disappointment comes from a mismatch of expectations. I can think of several people off the top of my head that would love (nay, Cherish) this book. But I was expecting more of a memoir and found that this fell somewhat short of this expectation. All the best to Yvonne though, I really enjoyed it when she actually did veer into memoir territory.
