"I can think of no other anthology which celebrates with such intensity the entire drama of the Christian faith. Here we have a host of poets praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest.' A Widening Light moves the reader through recognitions and meditations toward prayer." (Harold Fickett)
"Luci Shaw has compiled perceptions both delicate and powerful of Jesus the 'baby prince, ' the Man, the golden Lion, Jesus Christ the Lord. For those who love poetry and those who think they don't, I recommend a slow and thoughtful reading of this lovely book. Each page reflects from a different angle the Light of the World." (Elisabeth Elliott)
"A Widening Light ranks as one of the very best anthologies of Christian poetry." (John H. Timmerman)
