Shannon Bream’s new book on Biblical ‘overcomers’ explores ‘purpose’ within trials
Be honest—this is ridiculous.
Fox News’s Shannon Bream said her new book, Nothing is Impossible with God, delves into how “pain doesn’t have to be without purpose” in exploring various stories from the Bible.
Bream, the host of Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, explained that the book’s theme is about “overcomers,” featuring 11 characters from the Bible who faced “very difficult” challenges. The Washington Examiner obtained an early copy of Bream’s book for this review.
The beginning of the book reveals that Bream was diagnosed a few years ago with a genetic condition called Map-dot fingerprint dystrophy, something she said made her “much more empathetic” to other people’s struggles while also growing her own faith.
“So in writing the book, I felt like it’s important to share just how tough your own struggle has been, and maybe somebody else reading and walking through something says, ‘Okay, there’s hope in this process, pain doesn’t have to be without purpose, and there is a way to walk through this to the other side,’” Bream told the Washington Examiner Thursday.

“So I’m happy to share my story. Again, I wouldn’t have wished it on my own enemy, but I really did gain a lot from it, and I hope that if somebody is reading the book and is in that place, they’ll be able to feel that they’re not alone,” Bream said.
Bream is “really grateful” for the opportunity this past year to write the book, highlighting the theme of “overcoming” through a collection of short stories. The book is split into three parts: overcoming when you don’t understand God’s plan, overcoming when it’s hard to love others, and overcoming when God feels far away.
Bream hopes the book helps people find the exact Biblical stories they need in their current struggles, adding that she aims to “equip” readers with “very practical skills” by exploring them.
While Bream has always had “a really good, basic understanding” of the highlighted Bible stories, though she consumed additional sermons for further research with a researcher in Texas as her “theological check,” and consulted them during the writing process.
Bream concluded that the book is intended for all audiences, especially those undergoing “a difficult period.”
One of the stories Bream featured in her book is the story of Joseph, one of Jacob’s 12 sons, which she called “the best illustration” of how God is still with people amid “the storm” …
