Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Known to millions as simply "Sister Jean," the Loyola Chicago matriarch and college basketball icon invites you into her remarkable memoir filled with history, wonder, and common-sense wisdom for this century and beyond. As Sister Jean wisely says, "I've seen so many changes in the last 102 years, but the important things remain the same."
Part life story, part philosophy text, and part spiritual guide, Sister Jean's wit, wisdom, and common sense has broad appeal and application that transcends religious creed, belief, and even feelings on Loyola's basketball team.
Along with her collaborator Seth Davis, an award-winning writer, broadcaster and New York Times best-selling author, Wake Up with Purpose! lets you experience:
Sister Jean's words and her spirit. her sharp sense of humor. life lessons gleaned from one hundred years of living. universal themes that connect us all. priceless wisdom.The driving force inside Wake Up with Purpose! is the narrative of Sister Jean's fascinating life--from teaching at a Catholic school during the Second World War to serving on a Chicago college campus in the sixties and beyond to cheering from the sidelines of a men's basketball tournament in March 2018.
As you learn about Sister Jean's century-long life, you'll feel just like the Loyola students do when they knock on her office door, plop down in a chair, and ask if she would have time to chat, an activity that she still does daily.
The beloved chaplain of Loyola University's men's basketball team offers a memoir of her life of service along with common sense wisdom and spiritual guidance from one hundred years of living.
"Part memoir and part spiritual guide, Wake Up with Purpose! captures the humor, wisdom, and common sense that have made Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt an icon of faith and joy. Join Sister Jean on an inspiring journey through her first century of life, and discover the universal themes that connect us all -- from the power of listening to the heavenly joy of a good belly laugh." -- inside front jacket flap.
