A Liturgy, a Legacy, & a Ragamuffin Band is the seventh album by American singer/songwriter Rich Mullins, released in 1993.
"How To Grow Up Big And Strong" was recorded in honor of its writer, singer Mark Heard. Heard died the previous year during a performance at the Cornerstone Festival. Mullins also performed regularly at the festival and had been a fan of Heard's for many years.
The album was very well received, and in 2001 received the third place in the book CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.
"A Liturgy, a Legacy, & a Ragamuffin Band" is an example of a concept album, as stated in the liner notes by Mullins and album producer Reed Arvin:
Cuts 2-6 of this album loosely follow the pattern of a liturgy - a tool used for collective worship. In it there is proclamation, praise, confession of sin, affirmation of faith and celebration of grace. Cuts 7-12 are a consideration of our "secular" heritage, issues and ideas that play themselves out in the history of our country.
