VanLiere joins the tour reading excerpts from three of her NY Times Bestselling books in “The Christmas Hope Series”: The Christmas Shoes (2001), The Christmas Blessing (2003) & The Christmas Hope (2005).
“We’re thrilled to be doing another Christmas tour,” said NewSong founding member Eddie Carswell. “There’s nothing more magical than this time of year. Getting to perform for our fans the songs from our new Christmas album along with great holiday classics we grew up with is nothing short of joyous.”
