About the Author: Jorge has been the senior pastor of Lake Washington Fellowship in Melbourne, Florida for twenty-eight years. He has a way of connecting with people in a way that's real, light-hearted, and practical. His dynamic, relevant preaching style has led Jorge to encourage a broad range of audiences from indigenous people in a remote South American jungle, to students at school and college auditoriums, to mariners in cargo ships, to missionaries at a conference, to inmates in jail. After being heckled one Sunday morning many years ago by a member of his church's choir, Jorge decided to write a book about how to handle difficult people and circumstances in life. After 4 years of part-time writing, he named the book Hecklers In Your Choir, but a friend counseled him that the word 'choir' may restrict the prospective reading audience to just Christians. Thus, the book was renamed Hecklers In Your Crowd; because all of us have relatable stories in our lives where we might have been heckled one time or another. Or, presently, you may be dealing with those hecklers in your life, know, you are not alone!
