Q: I tried using ITunes to load an audio book but Ipod shuffled the playback

Did you place these audiobooks in a separate playlist in iTunes in the desired order and then synced that playlist to the Shuffle?

Okay, so you have the playlist in iTunes with all the tracks from this one audiobook.  Did you drag this playlist onto your Shuffle under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes to add it to the Shuffle?

If so, did you navigate to that particular playlist on the Shuffle using VoiceOver and then make sure the playback switch was not set to shuffle?

I dragged just dragged the play list using devices.

I don't quite understand what you mean here...

I'm not familiar with voice over or as far as that goes I don't know much about the IPod period,

If it's a 4G iPod Shuffle, see this article for help on using VoiceOver.
