description: 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: 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.
