Ragamuffin DVD Review and Giveaway!

 My Review

I had heard Rich Mullins before and I think most people have have heard his songs without realizing it. This movie is not what I was expecting but it is really good. It takes you into the life of Rich and how he grew up all the way up until his death. It's surprising to see into a person's life and I think we can learn a lot from hearing others stories. The movie did get a little long for me but it's an entire life of one person and there is a lot to be told. I loved the music and the actors did a great job. 

There is some language that I wasn't expecting and a few drunken scenes. 

I really enjoyed this movie and I highly recommend!

•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.

•About Rich Mullins:

Singer and songwriter Richard Wayne “Rich” Mullins was best known for his worship song “Awesome God” which has been embraced as modern classics by many Christians. His music has been covered by many artists, including Caedmon’s Call, Amy Grant, Jars of Clay, Michael W. Smith, Third Day, John Tesh, and Hillsong United. Mullins’ musical career formally began with Zion Ministries in the late 1970s, where he wrote music and performed with a band called Zion.  Mullins first solo hit, “Awesome God,” appeared on his third album and brought his music to a wider audience. Rich Mullins was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the Gospel Music Association (GMA) on April 29, 2014.
