Generally this term refers to books/novels written in the Christian tradition with Christian values and beliefs at the core of the theme. CS Lewis' works for instance. One may use the themes included as models for Christian thinking on a spiritual level rather than secular.
Simply put they make one THINK.

what connections can we make between literature and our lives!!!!!!! blasphemy!
unfortunately to answer this question would require me reciting my entire history of literary theory that i, coincidentally, just took the final for today. so im shot.
but i can tell you that so many of the classics deal with chritianity and how, why, it should apply.
start with St. Augustine's "On Christian Doctrine." it deals wit hexactly what you are asking. seriously, your question sounds like the prompt for a thesis on it
here is what the first line on the wikipedia page says about him:
Augustine of Hippo, or Saint Augustine (November 13, 354 – August 28, 430) is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity.
