New Book Series Integrates Biblical Principles with Professional Project Management Roles

Shawna Calhoun, a project management professional with over 20 years of experience across healthcare, biotech, and education sectors, has announced the release of her new book "If Jesus Was a Project Manager: Faith-based Leadership in a Results-driven World." This publication marks the beginning of her seven-book "Faith at Work" series designed to bridge biblical principles with modern workplace excellence. The series represents what Calhoun describes as the first comprehensive, role-specific integration of Christ's leadership model with proven professional methodologies.

Unlike generic faith-in-business literature, each volume in the series addresses specific professional roles including Project Manager, Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Business Analyst. The approach demonstrates precisely how biblical principles translate to daily professional responsibilities, moving beyond inspirational content to provide concrete frameworks and actionable behaviors for immediate implementation while maintaining professional credibility. Calhoun's background includes significant personal and professional challenges she overcame, including trauma, divorce, job loss, and betrayal, experiences that inform her perspective on integrating faith with professional practice.

The "Faith at Work" series masterfully connects timeless spiritual truths with secular professional frameworks, creating practical tools applicable within any organizational culture. As a resource that has already received positive feedback from readers across the United States, the series aims to foster stronger teams and workplace cultures reflecting values of excellence, integrity, and genuine concern for others' development. "If Jesus Was a Project Manager" specifically emphasizes how seeking understanding can help team members discover their purpose, according to Calhoun's approach.

Calhoun's professional experience spans multiple industries where she has served as an instructor, consultant, speaker, and mentor. Her methodology involves drawing connections between Scripture and professional principles, a skill she describes as "connecting the dots." The publisher, Lucid Books, is an independent hybrid publisher in the Houston area operating as a partnership publisher that combines traditional publishing connections and expertise with author involvement characteristic of self-publishing.

The series emerges at a time when professionals increasingly seek to integrate personal values with workplace responsibilities, offering structured approaches for those wishing to apply faith-based principles within results-driven professional environments. By providing role-specific guidance rather than general inspiration, the books address a gap in existing literature about faith and work integration. The practical frameworks are designed to be immediately applicable while maintaining alignment with professional standards and expectations across various organizational settings.
