"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)
