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 Gods unwavering grace.

Herman Mendozas testimony is an amazing story of how the grace and love of Jesus transformed his life, bringing him from a life of crime and prison into gospel ministry, healing his marriage, and making his family whole.

Usually people dont admit to their frailties, failures, and lives of wickedness, but in Shifting Shadows , Herman Mendoza tells it all. From a busted drug dealer to a prominent and faithful servant of God, he bares his soul. It is a poignant and captivating story with redeeming value for a worldwide audience.

Hermans story is a powerful example of the way God restores the years that the locusts have eaten. Through Christ and the power of the gospel, we see love, redemption, and freedom born out of greed, emptiness, and bondage. In a culture riddled with addictions, this is an uplifting story worthy of our attention.

This raw, utterly engaging narrative of Pastor Mendozas journey demonstrates how God takes the torn pieces of life and creates a beautiful tapestry of His love and mercy to reveal His glory!

Caution: If you start reading this book at 10 P . M ., you might not get much sleep that night. I had set aside only a short period to read this book, but I became so engrossed in the ups and downs of Hermans life story that I ended up pushing my schedule back. This memoir crosses all cultures and shows how Gods 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

It is so exciting to read this testimony of the extremity and the availability of Gods grace. Jesus is not only in the cathedral, He is in the classroom, the hospital room, the courtroom, and the prison cell. Pastor Mendoza is a trophy of Gods grace, and I am blessed to be a witness of his transformed life. I hope this book will convince you that hope is just a prayer away!

Reverend Pete Richardson, lead pastor of Grace Ministries, Promise Church

Shifting Shadows exemplifies the work of grace in a life that has tasted both the giddy heights of sin and the lowest depths of desperation. Once I began to read, I was hooked and could not put it down. Herman Mendozas account is riveting from start to finish.

Reverend Lloyd Pulley, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel, Old Bridge, New Jersey

I highly recommend Shifting Shadows . Herman Mendoza has a thrilling story that speaks boldly to the urban issues of today.
