“I have been a big fan of John Berry since I first heard that amazing voice more than two decades ago. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of interviewing him and learning that the man behind that voice is just as impressive off stage in the character he displays and his compassion towards people,” said Deborah Evans Price. “His Christmas collection is one of my all-time favorite holiday albums and I'm so thrilled that "Do Not Be Afraid" is featured on Country Faith Christmas, Vol. 2. Excited that it is included on such an incredible compilation Christmas album."

The new holiday release follows the original Country Faith Christmas album, which was released in October 2013. Following its release, the album became the #1 CD Pick in People Country and was featured in Parade magazine as well as many other national publications, including Billboard, Country Weekly and more. Additionally, Country Faith Christmas debuted in the Top 10 on Apple Music's Top Country Album Chart.
