Twenty Year Anniversary Issue

This website is the home site of my criminal reformation apostolate; here you can find details about the Lampstand Foundation which I founded as a 501c (3) nonprofit corporation in Sacramento, California in 2003.

I have written twelve books, one being about Lampstand and each one of the other eleven being a response to a likely objection to Catholicism that will be encountered when doing ministry to professional criminals; and for links to all of the Lampstand books which are available—free to members—and at Amazon, go to http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=david+h+lukenbill

I also maintain a daily blog, The Catholic Eye, https://catholiceye.wordpress.com/

Lampstand also keeps track of rehabilitative programs that fail, and the one or two that appear to work, with the findings available at https://catholiceye.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/evaluation-of-reentry-programs-3/

The work connected to the apostolate is listed under the home page categories (to your left) which I will be expanding as needed

Twenty Year Anniversary Issue

__________________________

This ministry began in August of 2003 proposing that the most effective people helping criminals transform their lives will be transformed criminals with a deep understanding of the criminal culture—rarely understood even by the criminals themselves, except in the maximum-security prisons where the hierarchy reflect the ancient values.

At the top of this hierarchy is the professional criminal—who commits crimes for money, is not sexually perverse, nor an informer, respects the innocent especially women and children and lives by a code of honor.

Lampstand has published 11 books on various aspects of this work which can be accessed at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=david+lukenbill+books&crid=2QWAZXA0KGTQW&sprefix=david+lukenbill+books%2Caps%2C140&ref=nb_sb_noss

I derive deep satisfaction from this work and will continue it for as long as I am able, and remain deeply appreciate of those of you who support it.
