Along with her collaborator Seth Davis, an award-winning writer, broadcaster and \u003cem\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/em\u003ebest-selling author, the book captures not just Sister Jean's words but also her spirit, as well as her sharp sense of humor. The reader feels just as the students at Loyola 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 at the age of 102.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe driving force inside \u003cem\u003eWake Up with Purpose! i\u003c\/em\u003es the narrative of Sister Jean's fascinating life. She dips into her prodigious memory bank and draws the reader in as she retraces her path from a young girl growing up in the Bay Area of California (where her father kept a pet monkey and family ark beached on the shore and where she walked with her mother across the Golden Gate Bridge on the day it opened) to her studies to become a Sister at the BVM Mother House in Iowa to her long tenure as an elementary school teacher in Chicago and Los Angeles to her decades on university faculty at Mundelein College and Loyola University to, finally, her unexpected turn as a centenarian celebrity with multiple bobblehead dolls crafted in her image. Alongside those detailed recollections, Sister Jean lays out the life lessons she gleaned and expounds on broad, universal themes that tie everything together, providing priceless wisdom from a woman who's become a national treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Christian","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49355263574320,"sku":"BDgxwv","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49355263639856,"sku":"ZEgxwv","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49355263672624,"sku":"ZMgxwv","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [10]","offer_id":49355263705392,"sku":"10gxwv","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/gxwv-Square-cover.jpg?v=1777522189","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gxwv","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
