About this listen

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.

Nice read

Nice read, it made me want to get more of a relationship with God myself. It did feel like I almost didn’t get to the real meaty part but I suppose there’s only so much you can put into one book. I probably could of gone on for another 6 hours worth of material.

It definitely felt comforting, I won’t lie and I’m sad it’s over so soon and it’s something I will hopefully remember when looking at my own walk.

Thanks Yvonne and well done for honouring God with this book. It’ll hope it’ll be able to bless a lot of people. From a fellow Igbo babe.

Easy to read (listen) and insightful

I started this book without knowing what to expect but I absolutely loved Yvonne’s humorous narration was delightful and totally relatable. The truths/insights she shared in the is book are enlightening and I’ll recommend to everyone especially if you’re feeling out of place, in a struggle or going through some sort of crisis.
Though these truths are not entirely new to me, I have definitely gained a newer, richer perspective that I’ll incorporate in my personal life and walk with God.

Well done, Yvonne!

Really enjoyed

What an enjoyable and inspiring read. The seamless blend of humour, story telling and references to the bible was done with such ease - and you don't have to be religious to appreciate this. Humour really is good for the soul. I look forward to the continued bamboozlement of the delightful and ever so talented Ms Orji into entertaining us.
