Do you know who Rich Mullins is? If you've ever sung the song "Awesome God," then you've sung a Rich Mullins song. He was an amazing songwriter whose message of God's love touched many people. Yet, he walked away from the spotlight, and even so, he is still one of the most popular songwriters today. He may be gone from this earth, but his songs live on.
The DVD Ragamuffin is a tribute movie to Rich Mullins and his life and testimony. For someone to walk away from his career, his fame and fortune, while at the top is totally unheard of. Yet he did so. He stayed true to himself and to his God whom he so desperately sought to know more and to love deeper. I had a chance to preview the movie and I can't describe how beautiful it is. It's honest and will move you no matter what your faith background is. Ragamuffin will be released tomorrow and the soundtrack will be released on July 22. I'm looking forward to hearing two never-before released songs sung by Rich Mullins.

About the film:
RAGAMUFFIN is based on the life of Rich Mullins, a musical prodigy who rose to Christian music fame and fortune only to walk away and live on a Navajo reservation. An artistic genius, raised on a tree farm in Indiana by a callous father, Rich wrestled all of his life with the brokenness and crippling insecurity born of his childhood. A lover of Jesus and a rebel in the church, Rich refused to let his struggles with his own darkness tear him away from a God he was determined to love. As he struggled with success in Nashville and depression in Wichita, Rich desired most of all to live a life of honest and reckless faith amidst a culture of religion and conformity.

I found out that the Director of the movie met Rich's brother after speaking in a Church in Indianapolis, and that he was the pastor of that church. He told him he would like to make a movie about his brother.

We already own this DVD, but I wanted to recommend it. His story is extremely powerful. I would say that it is not necessarily a family show, as the themes are a bit intense. But I was definitely encouraged to see how God worked in Rich's life.
