In Ancient Extravagance, Ryan Snider shows us that life is more than our accomplishments and what we do. The key to a life of meaning is developing our spiritual senses, which only come awake when we worship with others. That might seem like a waste of time, but in fact, these ancient practices have the power to wake up all parts of our lives—not just Sunday morning.

What Am I Missing? illuminates the difficult life lesson that everyone is missing something in their lives. This truth includes six significant characters of the Hebrew Bible: Abraham and Rachel; Moses and Miriam; and David and Esther. Using texts from the Hebrew Bible as our source of interpretation, we search for the meaning of "what is missing" in each of them and ourselves.

We all have a purpose, and that is to be the best version of ourselves. To accept ourselves, as is, for better and worse. We must hold ourselves as the creators for our part in shaping the experiences that make up our lives. If we can know the rules that govern our lives, we can use them. The process of cultivating ascension may be easier than you think. Like Jacob’s ladder, ascension is the process of connecting humans to the creator and the creator to humans. We are energy beings just waiting for the light to be turned on so our spirits may fly.
