Book Description
This book is an attempt to interpret man's religious existence, an inter pretation for which some of the groundwork was laid by the author's book PHENOMENOLOGY AND ATHEISM (Duquesne University Press, 2nd impression, 1965). That work explored the "denial" of God by the leading atheists and came to terms with the most typical forms assumed by their "denials". Nevertheless, I am not an adherent of atheism. The reason why it is possible to agree with many "atheists" without becoming one of them is that man can misunderstand his own religiousness or lapse into an inauthentic form of being a believer. What many "atheists" unmask is one or the other form of pseudo-religiousness which should be unmasked. On the other hand, I have also constantly refused to identify religiousness with such inauthentic forms and to define it in terms of those forms - just as I refuse to identify the appendix with appendicitis, the heart with an infarct, the psyche as a disturbance, and marriage as a fight. The book offered here has been written since the rise of the radical "God is dead" theology. This "theology" without God has often been presented as the only form of theological thought still suitable for "modern man". As the reader will notice, I reject the brash facility with which some "modern men" measure the relevance of "anything" by its "modernity".
Stage Left

Category : Poetry
ISBN : 0615147968
Book Description
Stage Left imbues elements of ballet and music as inspiration, content, and form to explore the rhythms in words and symbolism. Like the illusion of flight in ballet, Stage Left defies the gravitational pull of intensely solemn themes of intolerance, racial identity, miscegenation, and coming of age while working in the constraints of human perception. Divided into the 3 sections, Prelude, Interlude, and Coda, Stage Left is an amalgamation of rhythm, music, dance, and universal themes of race, coming of age, and philopsophy. With poems such as Lady in Waiting that expresses a woman's frustration of waiting for Mr. Right, Dufer laments "I've grown roses in my eyes To see Adonis, flawless, statuesque Perched upon the highest hill yet I Feel disappointment when I met him In human form." This is Miriam D. Dufer's second book of poetry.

Book Description
Exit Four is a collection of off-beat literary fiction originally published in university literary journals and elsewhere. The reader will find a long and very dark story set in subways in London, Paris, and New York; the invention of the chair, and how that disrupted an ancient culture; a couple who meet in a supermarket and how that place prefigures their lives together; an old man riding a train, who realizes that a young artist is drawing his gnarled hands; two lovers whose only real connection is a painting on a museum wall; and others. Some of these stories could happen, even if unlikely; others take place only in the uncertain world of the mind.

Book Description
In a distant corner of the cosmos, on an advanced planet known as Newel, a hero is created using super science. This hero is named Gar-A and his destiny is driven by a freak occurrence with a black hole. He finds himself seemingly stranded on a distant planet called Earth, a strange place that exists in a parallel dimension away from his home world. Newelians look like humans, but this is where the similarities end. Made of an incredibly dense molecular structure, they are gifted with incredible strength and durability. Their superior mental capacities and half-millennium life span make them astonishingly powerful. On Earth, Gar-A becomes known as Major Alpha, the premier costumed hero of his age. He follows his heart, and soon, he and his human wife, Kate, build a life and family together. Their son, Mik, lives a life most fanboys can only dream of in their four-color fantasies. Mik, considered a power-normal, dreams of glory as he strives to make the most of his small portion of Newelian abilities. A tragic first outing opens young Miks eyes to a series of revelations about his fathers legacy, as his dream of being a superhero becomes a twisted nightmare. If he is to realize his fate, Mik must find the courage to escape the dark shadow of his father. As he makes new allies and enemies, he finds himself forced to pursue his own path toward a greater destiny.
