Business professional Shawna Calhoun has released a new book titled 'If Jesus Was a Project Manager: Faith-based Leadership in a Results-driven World,' launching a seven-book series that bridges biblical principles with modern workplace practices. The series represents the first comprehensive, role-specific integration of Christ's leadership model with proven professional methodologies, moving beyond generic faith-in-business approaches to provide concrete frameworks for specific workplace roles.
Calhoun, a project management professional with over 20 years of experience across healthcare, biotech, and education sectors, blends technical expertise with spiritual insight developed through personal trials including trauma, divorce, job loss, and betrayal. Her 'Faith at Work' series masterfully connects timeless spiritual truths with secular frameworks, creating practical tools designed to work within any organizational culture while maintaining professional credibility.
The importance of this publication lies in its specific application of biblical principles to professional roles. Unlike broader faith-based business literature, each volume in the series addresses particular positions including Project Manager, Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Business Analyst, demonstrating precisely how biblical principles translate to daily responsibilities. This approach provides actionable behaviors for immediate implementation rather than merely inspirational content.
The series has already received positive feedback from readers across the United States, indicating its potential impact on workplace culture. By creating stronger teams and organizational environments that reflect kingdom values through excellence, integrity, and genuine care for others' development, the books offer a framework for integrating faith with professional practice. The initial volume emphasizes that seeking to understand team members helps them discover their God-given purpose, suggesting implications for leadership development and team dynamics across industries.
Published through Lucid Books, an independent hybrid publisher in the Houston area that offers traditional publishing connections with author involvement, the series represents a significant development in faith-based professional literature.
