Jesus House

In Jesus House: How to Stop Recidivism, Dr. William Bumphus shares an extraordinary story of faith, transformation, and unwavering determination. Once a career criminal who faced multiple incarcerations, Dr. Bumphus had a life-altering encounter with Jesus while serving time in an Indiana prison.

It reveals the hurdles ex-offenders must overcome poverty, addiction, social stigma, and mental health struggles while offering a compelling argument for the power of faith-based rehabilitation to heal, restore, and transform. Through heartfelt anecdotes and vivid accounts, Dr. Bumphus highlights the lives that have been changed by the program, showing how love, compassion, and spiritual guidance can break the cycle of recidivism.

More than just a memoir, Jesus House is a practical guide for anyone passionate about social justice and change. It provides an inspiring blueprint for starting effective aftercare programs, demonstrating how to create a supportive environment where individuals can find hope, rebuild their faith, and rediscover their purpose.

For over two decades, the Jesus House has been a sanctuary for men seeking redemption. The program's success stories are a testament to the impact of its mission, with many former residents going on to build thriving lives, serve their communities, and inspire others with their testimony. Dr. Bumphus's narrative is one of unwavering faith in God's ability to turn even the most broken lives into beacons of light.
