Set each book component to continue numbering through the book.

Then set your chapter title numbering as follows:

        Chapter\ <$chapnum>< >< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>

The < > placeholder after <$chapnum> is the one you want to continue 
through the book. 
The < =0> resetters are for the numbering you want to restart for each 
chapter, e.g. figure, 
table, equation numbering, etc.  Is this what you want?
