Francesca Battistelli (Warner Nashville)

If We’re Honest hits stores three years after Francesca Battistelli released her sophomore album, Hundred More Years.

The new album is set to be her most intimate to date, with the “Write Your Story” single already sailing up the charts, its pop feel seamlessly delivering an invitation for Christ to write His story upon the open book of our hearts.

“When the Crazy Kicks In” showcases the upbeat, soul fusion laced throughout Battistelli’s albums while telling the relatable story of needing God when everything goes awry.

With numerous awards to her name, Battistelli has become the best-selling Christian new artist in the past decade. She’ll kick off a spring tour with Sidewalk Prophets, Natalie Grant, Jason Gray and others to bring Mark Burnett and Roma Downey’s new feature film, Son of God, to life with sight and sound. —Felicia Abraham

Gospel for Asia (Saylors Brothers)

Though shocking at times, Veil of Tears offers a rare and riveting look into the lives of millions of women in India who endure oppression. A documentary that shows how violence toward women has been ingrained in this society for centuries, the film takes viewers on a journey into the lives of women who are so demeaned as second-class citizens that they are beaten and raped in public areas or threatened with death and exile for having female children.

The beautiful cinematography and gorgeous landscape of India are set in sharp contrast to the degradation and pain women in this nation feel on a continual basis. And Veil of Tears, which hit theaters late last month, doesn’t shy away from showing the persecution, abandonment and rejection these women face. Yet as this depraved scene is firmly established, the movie gently shows how the K.P. Yohannan-led ministry Gospel for Asia is bringing the hope of Christ to these women.

The stories of hope and redemption sear even deeper into the heart of the viewer as you see the personal testimonies of salvation translated onscreen.

“For nearly 20 years, we have made films that capture the tragic side of the human experience,” says Kenny Saylors, who co-directed with his brother Kyle. “In Veil of Tears, we wanted to show the courage, resilience and faith of women and demonstrate that God is changing hearts and lives, even in the most difficult of situations and locales.”

Many of the women now working for Gospel for Asia were once beaten and chastised in the same nation. Watching their renewed joy and new light gleaming from their eyes helps ease the pain of the situation they have to endure and portrays hope for those not yet rescued. As a call to action, the movie unveils the ministry’s plan for future endeavors while encouraging viewers to be the change India desperately needs. —Felicia Abraham

1) Goat ($120) Seven-year-old Mira Sunwar (pictured) holds a family goat at her home in Tleyanpur Village, Nepal. For just $120, this gifted goat can provide a full ton of milk per year to a family, and the extra milk can be used to make cheese, butter and yogurt. Plus, the goat’s kids can be given to other impoverished families. —

2) Sexual Exploitation Recovery ($35) Help exploited young girls heal by restoring their physical and spiritual health. Your gift provides safe shelter, medical care, nutritious food, vocational training, compassionate counseling and (sometimes) placement with a loving family. — 

3) Rabbits ($60) Rabbits produce manure for farming, boosting crop productivity in an organic, sustainable way. Plus, they birth up to six litters a year, giving a family further provision. —

4) Education for Girls ($35)  Help a girl get an education to break the cycle of poverty in her family and lineage. —   

5) Coffee ($13) A highly prized commodity in African markets, coffee is a strong cash crop that can help pay for medicine, clothes and education. —  

6) Eggs ($20) Provide a family with chicks, ducks or goslings to help with their daily intake of protein. Eggs can also be sold to provide for clothing, medicine and even more. —  

7) Donkey ($122) A donkey can literally lighten the load for a family, as it can carry heavy weights long distances and help make farming easier for the whole family. —

Willie Robertson, star of A&E’s hit reality television show Duck Dynasty, has always been vocal about his family’s mission to see souls saved. Despite the program’s fourth season shattering ratings records this fall, with more than 11.8 million viewers in more than 100 countries, Robertson maintains that the show’s accolades pale in comparison to true success.

“My challenge to you is to not let the world’s measuring stick show you what is successful,” he recently said at Liberty University. “Our family views success [as being] able to go around the country and share the message of the Lord and to talk about our faith.” —Felicia Abraham

It might not be kosher to list a sibling’s album as one of your all-time favorites, but honest to God, our sister Rebecca St. James’ record Christmas is at the top of the list. Classy work, if we do say so ourselves. —Felicia Abraham

I remember buying Andy Williams’ first Christmas album [The Andy Williams Christmas Album] at a flea market. I love all the memories associated with it: the cover, the wonder it inspired in me, how it made me feel the magic of Christmas and how listening to it was like traveling back in time to the night Jesus was born. —Felicia Abraham

A Charlie Brown Christmas. No question. I am a fool for nostalgia, and that recording—and TV show—take me straight back to my childhood. It’s jazzy and free, and I like it more the older I get. —Felicia Abraham

Amy Grant’s Home for Christmas is timeless. I have great memories of my family decorating the tree and listening to that album. We usually started playing it after Thanksgiving and kept it on until Easter! —Felicia Abraham

My favorite Christmas album is Home for the Holidays by various artists on Sparrow. It was originally released in the late ’80s and re-released [as Christmas] in the ’90s. I love nontraditional Christmas music. Fa la la la … —Felicia Abraham
