It all started with a pair of Christmas Shoes!
…now continue the journey as the third film in the Christmas Hope Series follows Patricia (Madeleine Stowe) and Mark Addison (James Remar), a couple in a troubled marriage. When Patricia, a social worker, brings home a foster child who has no place to go on Christmas, they set aside their differences to give the young girl a special holiday. Beloved character Nathan Andrews (Ian Ziering) returns in The Christmas Hope, bringing the stories full circle.

I can’t wait to see this movie! The songs all get to me, my kids think it is silly every time I hear The Christmas Shoes, because I cry like a baby!
The Very Merry Christmas Tour is awesome, my sons and I attended last year and will be there this year too. The hubby has to work or he would be there too. We are in Albany, GA and this is a concert we’ve looked forward to since last year!
Thank you New Song for coming to our little town and blessing us with your talent.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SECOND MOVIE?
Wish you guys would tour in Ontario, Canada…particualarly in The Niagara/Toronto area..Would love to see you guys perform live..You guys are awesome and love the music.
Welsome back Russ Lee , Your voice and talent are trully awesome. I just want to say the song Christmas Shoes is so heart touching every time I hear it I get a lump in my throat. I just bought the new album and it is so good. I have seen you in concert and know how anointed you guys are. Keep on for Jesus. To the guys who wrote Christmas shoes you guys knew what you were doing. I saw The Christmas Hope it was so heart touching another fine credit to the pen of the writers of Newsong. God Bless
I just want you guys to know how much your ministry has touched my life! I am an aspiring musician myself and this past week at Winter Xtream, I was touched tremendously! Every speaker that was there touched me in a different way. I have been bothered for the past few years wondering why God gave me the talents he gave me yet wouldn’t open any doors for me to us them in…. But, after hearing everyone speak this week mainly David Nasser and Johnny Hunt a light bulb went off in my head! I know what I have to do now to help further the kingdom of God! I realized it was me this whole time not letting go of certain “worldly” things that I have been hanging on to and becoming a servant instead of trying to be the spotlight. I have been a long time fan of you guys and just wanted to say keep doing what your are doing! I was directly in front of Russ on the front row Tuesday when you were on stage and seeing you guys that close I could see Jesus in your eyes and hear him in your voices! Seeing how hard your guys were singing for the Lord and not your own glory really had a huge impact on me and my fiancée! PS I heard you guys for the second year in a row in Kinston, NC on your Very Merry Christmas Tour and when you used Joe from Big Daddy Weave to play his sax with your guys it escalated the already awesome sound your guys have! I know you used to have a sax player a few years ago and if you ever want another one and you have auditions send me a letter! Or if you ever need another vocalist let me know as well. I love what you guys are doing for the Lord and keep on doing it! And Eddie, David Nasser was right in his seminar when he said that you are a visionary, though I know without a doubt that it’s the Lord moving in your life because no man alone could accomplish what you guys have and touch lives like you do including mine! Thanks for everything you do for God!

CHRISTMAS SHOES, MADE ME CRY SO HARD. WHAT A SAD YET HAPPY SONG. IT JUST MAKES PEOPLE REALIZE WHAT CHRISTMAS IS SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT.
In August 2005 my Dad (an evangelist) was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. In January 2006 he recieved a new address: Heaven!!! Then 4 months to the day my dad passed away- May 2006- my younger brother (my only sibling) who was 30 also went to Heaven!!! Death and Grief have had such a hold on my life that I have never been the same person! Not for myself, my family, my Lord or my church. But my joy FINALLY came in the morning!!! On Dec.28th, 2009 at Winter Xtreme in Branson, MO as I was standing there listening to you all sing ‘Arise My Love’ God literally reached down into the very depths of my heart and TOOK MY GRIEF!!! HE really did!!! I felt Him do it! Right in the middle of the song I literally heard Him say to me- death cannot keep them! There is NO MORE hold on you! You will see them again one day and your family circle will never be broken AGAIN!!!! It was such an amazing feeling that I just cannot put into words!!! I know that since Dec. 28th, 2009 I have not been the same person and I have joy and peace and happiness and love and forgiveness that I have not had in a long, long time (years)!!! I know this life and everything about it is ALL about my JESUS and I cannot praise His name enough for all HE has done for me!!! I have just wanted every since Dec. 28th, 2009 to share my testimony (story) with you all and I have wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being obedient to HIM!!!!
