The band continued to record and tour with Mullins, and even carried on after his 1997 death. The group's name is derived from Brennan Manning 's 1990 book The Ragamuffin Gospel , which defines ragamuffins as "the burdened, the wobbly and weak-kneed, the inconsistent, unsteady disciples... the smart people who know they are stupid... the honest disciples who admit they are scalawags".Cite web | last = Selleck | first = Linda | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = A Ragamuffin Music Man: Rich Mullins | work = | publisher = Friends United Meeting | date = April 1998 | url = http://www.fum.org/QL/issues/9804/mullins.htm | doi = | accessdate = July 2, 2010Cite web | last = Tarrant | first = Rick | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = The Countdown Magazine Remembers Rich Mullins | work = | publisher = Communion Communications | date = October 11, 1997 | url = http://kidbrothers.net/words/interviews/20-the-countdown-magazine-oct1197.html | doi = | accessdate = July 2, 2010Cite web | last = Rivers | first = Jon | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Music and More | work = | publisher = Compassion International | year = 1993 | url = http://kidbrothers.net/interviews/musicandmore.html | doi = | accessdate = July 2, 2010Cite web | last = Mullins | first = David and Robin | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Kid Brothers | work = | publisher = Kid Brothers | year = 2009 | url = http://www.richmullins.com/kidbrothers.html | doi = | accessdate = July 2, 2010
