Cramer's debut book "How to Keep Believing When
You're Suffering: A Guide to Braving Chronic Illness" is a
roadmap to hope. Grounded in scripture and sprinkled
with humor, Cramer's enjoyable guide is 70% biblical battle plan, 20% true confession of life with chronic illness,
and 10% encouraging hug. Cramer shares, "Narcoleptics
navigate the equivalent of 48 hours of sleep deprivation
every day. The challenges of each person in the chronic
illness community are different, but the World Health Organization estimates that 1 out of every 6 people has a
disability or disorder that significantly impacts their quality
of life. All of us are asking4 'How am I going to move
beyond grief and pick up the pieces of my shattered
life?'4largely to be met with crickets. 'How to Keep Believing When You're Suffering' equips people in crisis with
a toolbox. Whether readers are looking to replace harmful
mindsets, reclaim prayers run away with worry, or root
their identity in Christ, they have helpful Bible verses and
spiritual practices at their fingertips. God's truth can
change your mental landscape over time.
Bill Gilmour, author of "Aftermath of Jennifer Kesse's
Abduction" praises "If you suffer from chronic illness and
pain and have asked the why questions 3 with no answers
3 you will find help and hope in this book. Shannon
Cramer vulnerably shares her ten-plus-year journey with

truths. You will experience peace and joy that defy your
