This month, we will discuss the autobiography, Wake Up With Purpose: what I’ve learned in my first hundred years by Jean Dolores Schmidt, listening time, 6.25 hours, book #DB115242 in the TBBS catalog.
Part life story, part philosophy text, & part spiritual guide, Sister Jean’s wit, wisdom, & common sense has broad appeal & application that transcends religious creed, belief, & even feelings on Loyola’s basketball team. Along with her collaborator Seth Davis, an award-winning writer, broadcaster & New York Times best-selling author, Wake Up with Purpose! lets you experience: Sister Jean’s words & 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 & 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, & ask if she would have time to chat, an activity that she still does daily.
RSVP to Melissa at: (847) 510-2060.
