Loyola Chicago's Sister Jean publishes new memoir 'Wake Up with Purpose'
Chicagoans love Loyola University's Sister Jean, but how much do we really know about her 103 years of life? The chaplain for the Loyola men's basketball team that reached the Final Four in 2018 joined Good Day Chicago on Monday to discuss her new memoir "Wake Up with Purpose!"

She said she rejected six other potential co-authors before agreeing to collaborate with Davis.
She also shared her three ‘W’s' for success.
"Worship, work and win — Our three 'W's.' So, if you pray to God and you do your work and practice, then you should win. And win doesn't always mean winning every game, it means that you do what you're supposed to do and you're doing it for God," said Sister Jean.
Sister Jean describes her memoir as a combination of life stories, philosophy text and spiritual guidance.
