A.B. Simpson was a Canadian preacher and theologian who founded the Christian and Missionary Alliance which placed an emphasis on global evangelism.  Simpson was raised a Calvinist and converted in 1859.  Simpson would later leave Canada and go to the United States for Presbyterian churches in Louisville, Kentucky and New York City.
After just two years in New York City, Simpson resigned from the Church to begin a gospel ministry targeted for new immigrants and the poor and uneducated people of New York City.  Simpson was considered a very effective communicator and his writing is very Christ-centered.

J.C. Ryle was the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool.  Ryle was educated at Christ Church, Oxford where he was also a gifted athlete who played cricket and rowed.  Ryle was born to a wealthy family and it seemed likely that he would have a career in politics before joining the ministry.  Ryle was ordained in 1842.
Ryle supported the evangelical school and was a strong critic of Ritualism.  Ryle was a writer as well as a pastor.  Ryle’s writing strongly advocates his beliefs yet has a comforting disposition for the reader.
