What makes a book Christian, exactly?

Does it have to feature Jesus in some prominent role, or promote a belief in the supernatural? Maybe the themes are allegorical, like the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, or maybe the ideas presented are rooted in a Judeo-Christian worldview. Does it matter if the authors themselves identify as Christian, or Catholic or Mennonite?

For Kitchener publisher Andrew Mikelsons, founder of Andy Fairchild Publishing, the answer is simple: it just has to be a good book.
