My Review

The Ring Does Not Fit by Sunshine Rodgers has a very definite purpose beyond
entertainment. Rodgers has written a novella that explores what happens when a busy
young wife tires of her seven year marriage. Alena, the wife, is a professional author,
keeps house, cooks, does errands, and all the work around the house while her husband,
Lee, doesn’t appear to help. He doesn’t help carry in groceries or apparently do any
household chores. Lee goes to work and spends the rest of his time on the couch. He is
big into church and Bible study. That really put me off Lee. It sounded like his wife
needed help and he was oblivious. Alena, in turn, is wrapped up in the busyness and
trappings of success.
The Ring Does Not Fit 1
The aim of the book, to make couples see they need Jesus Christ as the foundation of
their relationship, is good. The different scenarios Alena experienced were eye-opening.
JC, who is a mystery, assures Alena she is missing more than just Lee.
I certainly concur with the author that both parties in a marriage need Christ. I felt like
there were some real issues in the marriage that needed to be dealt with at beginning of
book. I am not so sure becoming “ridiculously happy” as the author asserts one should
become in Jesus would automatically take all those issues away. I see some big
incongruities with a man who is greatly into Bible study and church, but not
understanding and helping his wife with her needs.

With some professional editing, this book would shine a little brighter.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and publisher through
Celebrate Lit. This in no way affects my opinions, which are solely my own.

My Rating

3 Stars – Middling; Neither impressive nor unimpressive

More from Sunshine

“Why are we never satisfied?  I mean, we can have
houses, cars and money and still want more! If I were to break it
down, I would have to say…insecurity.  Maybe we feel like we’re not good
enough. I don’t know about you, but I compare myself with others
all the time just by looking at social media and feeling like I don’t
measure up.
My book “The Ring Does Not Fit” concentrates on appreciating what is right in front of you,
celebrating those who are still with you and staying humble.
Because the grass is not always greener on the other side and there
is always more going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.
I wanted to explore the issue of contentment  in my book.
The only way to really get over any personal frustration
and constant comparison  is to have
an attitude of thanksgiving and praise where you are thankful
for what you have, no matter how little or big it is.
That’s the first step to loving life.”
– Sunshine Rodgers

I am a first and foremost a follower of Jesus Christ. Having formerly taught elementary school, I am now a retired special education para-pro. I miss our amazing students! I am married with three great young adult children, one married in South Carolina. My husband and I are empty-nesters but share our home with a huge tiger cat and a playful Shih-Tzu, plus often the granddog. More time for my fave past-time now-reading!😊
