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 Shadows offers 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.

Couldn’t Put It Down!

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

Herman Mendoza’s “Shifting Shadows” is an incredible story of a big time NY drug dealer who had done just about everything (including drugs and alcohol) and reached rock bottom. His journey towards finding his faith is an amazing one. He defied all odds and is an incredible pastor today. His name crosses international boundaries, and his story is one of love and forgiveness that we could all use in our daily lives. Wonderful book; the style of writing is beautiful and the book has a great pace to it. I couldn’t put it down! Highly recommend!

A Must Read!!! Raw, Honest & Eye opening

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020

A must read. Insightful, gripping and raw.
I was completely drawn in after the first paragraph. The book is written in a style that allows you to completely relate to Herman’s choices, especially if his walk in any way mirrors your own.
You’ve got to read this.
By the end of the book, you will love this guy and his wife for their ability to rise up from the rubble and move into a life for God. What a beautiful story of redemption. Please buy this today and support the Mendoza family in their ministry. This is Gods war on Drugs!!

Wonderful Book!

I really enjoyed reading Shifting Shadows. I stayed up until three in the morning reading - I did not want to put this book down.

I followed all the twists and turns in this story and really felt the struggles and emotions of the main characters. By chapter 32, I began to feel the calm the characters began to experience.

A relevant story that shows us all things are possible when we desire.

A Testimony Worth Reading

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

Herman Mendoza had started small, but by high school had graduated to major crime, i.e., drug trafficking. Addicted to the money, he adopted a lifestyle similar to that of his brothers, which included alcohol and women (despite being married and having children). Several encounters with the law were almost enough to convince him to change . . . almost. It was not until he was facing significant time away from his children and an encounter with his brother in prison that God captured his heart. Only then, through the witness of his brother, did his heart truly begin to change. He now serves in full-time ministry, using his experience and resources to reach others (with his family by his side).
When reading a Christian biography/testimony, there are a couple of things I look to find. First is a detailed explanation of the gospel message, so that unbelievers who may be encouraged by this testimony pick up the book may understand God’s essential message of salvation. The second is an abundance of Scripture references. In both cases, the book lacks. While there are a few verses sprinkled in, they were rare, and the author at times over spiritualizes certain aspects.
As a story, though, the book is compelling. Most readers will not be overwhelmed by a master of words or an artistic manner of storytelling. Nevertheless, I enjoyed merely reading about one man’s experiences through his own words. Even more, the author demonstrates an evident (and significant) change in his life. The result is an incredible testimony of God’s transformation, God’s grace, and God’s work in the lives of people.
I suspect the book may leave some readers with questions (such as about the author’s methods of ministry). Yet, the areas that one might disagree over are so rarely mentioned that the real focus of this book is simply the story of Herman Mendoza. I wouldn’t spend much time reading through this, as there are more valuable biographies to read. Yet, for something simple in which one wants to rejoice at God’s work, the time spent reading this book is minimal (I read the entire text in just a couple of hours).

Wow what a book! It's such a page turner. It grabbed me by my emotions and didn't let go. This book is truly relatable, as my fiance and I are experiencing something similar. And he too reached for God and it has truly changed our lives. I feel blessed to have been able to read such an experience. This is a must have book! Captivating, for sure! Thank you for sharing your life and testimony.

This is the most intriguing, captivating book I have read in a long time. It is fast paced and colorful writing. You feel like you are on this roller coaster ride with Herman.
It is inspiring for young and old, all races and backgrounds and especially for someone incarcerated or dealing with getting out.

Tremendously moving, all glory to God

Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is truly an amazing story of God’s salvation. Reading Herman’s winding journey was like a roller coaster ride, with so many good lessons to remember. It really allows you to understand the way people can fall into bad situations, simply because of our fallen nature and corrupt environment. Our sins are many but His mercy is more. This book gives me hope that through earnest prayer and faith, God can bring about the most incredible miracles.
