I liked Distant Bell a lot. I actually think it is their best. Redeeming the Time is hymns and choruses done in a style that is a cross between distant bell and the eponymous debut. It's acoustic and rootsy, but also with a heavy sense of groove - worth checking out. I’ve been an Acoustic Shack fan since the first album. I liked Distant Bell a lot.

It's an honest question. In terms of what makes music "Christian," that's a debate that even Christians alone could have with each other for years. Usually what people call "Christian" music is music that is created by someone publicly claiming to be a Christian and that has some lyrics explicitly in line with Christian doctrine. Occasionally you have supposedly non-Christian bands singing songs that seem Christian (ones I can think of off the top of my head are the Indigo Girls' "Prince of Darkness" and the Housemartins' "Caravan of Love"); and occasionally you have self-proclaimed Christian bands singing songs that are known as secular (Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me"). The appeal to a Christian of Christian music is simply the subject matter it covers. Music is an expression of our commitments, emotions, loyalties, dreams, and heartaches. And a lot of people who are religious like to express that religious commitment musically. I hope that helps answer your question. @greg Glad you like it. @Atomac

What makes music Christian and what is the attraction? Not be disparaging, but I can honestly say I have never heard any Christian music past hymns.
