"I was a walking dead man!": A Remarkable True Story

The True Story of a High-Rolling Drug Dealer, Prison, and Unexpected Redemption

Herman Mendoza built his kingdom in Queens, New York. He made a fortune
selling cocaine with his brothers up and down the Eastern Seaboard. He had apartments around the city for his mistresses and a home in the Poconos for his beautiful nuclear family. But when he and his brothers were busted in a large-scale crackdown, his kingdom crumbled. Ready to kill himself rather than live behind bars, Herman instead came face-to-face with the all-consuming love of God. He would never be the same. Today, Herman shares his story at every opportunity knowing that it may play a part in someone else’s journey into a relationship with Jesus. An engaging and fast-paced read, Shifting Shadowsoffers hope to those in despair and shows all of us the lengths to which God will go to bring a troubled soul home. Also available in Spanish as Sombras Cambiantes.

“You owe it to yourself to read Herman’s remarkable story of unlikely grace. Your eyes may well be opened to the shadows of grace in your own life story.”
—Dr. Wess Stafford, president emeritus, Compassion International

“To spend five minutes with Herman Mendoza now, it would be challenging
to imagine him spending five years in federal prison for dealing illicit drugs. Since our paths crossed, I have witnessed his efforts in reaching young people for Christ and his commitment to impact our society with his testimony. In Shifting Shadows, we can grasp the essence of God’s unwavering grace.”
—Allan Houston, former two-time NBA All-Star; assistant general manager of the New York Knicks
