Bamboozled By Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams

Yvonne Orji

Yvonne Orji is a thriving stand-up comic and actress, best known as Issa Rae's BFF on the HBO series, Insecure. Now, as author and your new best friend, Yvonne shares the secret to the life of your dreams.

In her new book, Bamboozled by Jesus, Yvonne hilariously - and with tremendous wisdom - exposes the trials and victories she has experienced on the way to the life of her dreams. Whatever greatness, whatever joy we may hope for, Yvonne is here to tell us that God has something even bigger and better in store for us - if we can just trust Him and be open to having our minds blown by His goodness, His creativity, and His knack for surprises! From her early days as a wedding emcee and struggling comic to her recent Emmy nomination, Yvonne's story will encourage you to believe that more is possible for your own life when you let go and embrace the adventure.


Whether you're a college graduate coming up with your "next step" or a 30-something experiencing a sudden change in career or relationship status, Yvonne is here to remind you God has custom-designed your life to be magnificent, and by default, the magnificent is uncertain. Living your best life forces you beyond your capacity and demands reckless abandon of your comfort zone.


Along with her own captivating stories, Yvonne takes a thoughtful look into the lives of some of her favorite characters from the Bible, breathing new life and fresh perspective into familiar stories about bravery, resilience, and taking risks. If you're truly ready to live a life beyond your wildest dreams, hold on for the ride and be prepared to be bamboozled into a new way of thinking about embracing your unique destiny.
