Shifting Shadows: How a New York Drug Lord Found Freedom in the Last Place He Expected Paperback - 2020

From the rear cover

"An amazing story . . . that will encourage you to keep on keeping on."--Luis Bush, author of The Yes Effect

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 Herman 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.

"In a culture riddled with addictions, this is an uplifting story worthy of our attention."--CANDY MARBALLI, president and CEO of the Prayer Covenant

"This memoir crosses all cultures and shows how God's grace can rescue a lost soul regardless of how hard he or she hits rock bottom."--JOEL FREEMAN, PhD, director and producer of Return to Glory; former NBA chaplain
