Rich Mullins’ legacy—marked by a life wholly devoted to God—is vividly present throughout this recording. The Jesus Record is not just a compilation of songs; it is a labor of love that encapsulates Rich’s fearless commitment to worship, his innovative musical spirit, and his desire to draw others closer to Jesus.
