A.B. Simpson was in Christian and Missionary Alliance, and his works are at once devotional as well as well-founded on Scripture. In this work on 2 Corinthians, he explores this book.

Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement
7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it....  Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.

"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.

AB-Simpson Christ in BibleLet me explain as best as I understand where Simpson is theologically. Within the Methodist movement, there were driving forces of healing and holiness. Before things got wild with speaking in tongues, miracles, and divine healings as entertainment for church folk, there were Methodists who really wanted to please God. Simpson is an offshoot of this time from the Methodist church, and although they do believe in miraculous divine healings, basically they are very good in most of their theology and practices. (miracles and healings being a leaning that is not as wild as modern Pentecostalism, but is none the less there)

Basically you will find a very wholesome and spiritually healthy read when you read A.B. Simpsons books. Most people (Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists) would read him without detecting anything wrong with him, and he is very devotional and exhortational.

Most of the recommendations that I have seen also recommend him as a very good devotional author.
