You left out His Poems.

Who says God wrote the bible? He actually inspired the bible. Men were inspired, and wrote the holy scriptures. Or holy writings. The bible was actually written by over 50 different men, who's stories agreed with each other. I dare anyone to find 50 men in this day and age to agree on ANYTHING! Guess that makes it a pretty interesting read. No?
BTW, paltry would infer small or insignificant. It is not a word used to describe anything that God created or inspired.

God did not write the Bible. And Muslims do not believe that he wrote the Quran but that he revealed the contents to Mohammed. God did not "write" anything.
What he did was to inspire people to write down certain things. That God loves us enough to want to communicate is not at all "paltry."

No, that's not God, that's Madonna.
God only wrote the Holy Bible. Madonna wrote all the others, the Quran and the book of short stories.

Paltry is a characteristic of inferior beings. I won't mention
any names.
God also insprired the Vedas, Baghavad gita, (my spelling might
be off), Confuscious, Buddha, The Tao, Zen, Tibetan Book of the Dead, Egyptian Book of the Dead, as well as
books from all races and cultures, which were destroyed by
"paltry" human beings when they destroyed the Library of
Alexandria.

If that was asked with an honest heart. The real answer to your question is He went beyond any verbal inspiration and wrote His message on the hearts of mankind, those that responded to this message - below.
God's Gospel:
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

God did NOT write the Bible. Humans did based on what God told them.

How can I know my mind?
An alert mind is not a problem; an unaware mind is. The mind projects the future to be fulfilling but misses the beauty of the present. If you are rich, you want to be richer; if you are strong, you want to be stronger; if you are beautiful, you want to be more beautiful. Such a mind does not make you live life but leave life.
Such a mind creates false prayers. You make a ritual out of prayer and pretend to pray. Such prayer becomes an empty gesture.
Why am I so greedy?
There is a visible world and there is an invisible world. There is a visible self and an invisible self. The visible world is a world of diversity and the invisible world is a world of oneness.
If we live on the periphery we will feel incomplete but completeness is one’s nature. This incompleteness wants us to be a complete person. But the only track it knows is greed, wanting more. The enlightened masters give us not a dogma but a device to reach this state of completeness.
We should stop fooling around with life. Just thinking to be happy is not enough; just thinking to be wise is not enough. It is a luxury to think but it is wisdom to live. Ask yourself: Are you concerned with reality or fantasy?
There are two ways to know reality. If you want to know objective reality, then science is the way out. If you want to know subjective reality, turn to spirituality.
Why does one worry in life ?
Worry has become a habit for many. An inner energy that is not creative goes around in circles of worry. A creative person is one who, when he encounters a problem, is focused on the solution and is not a victim to the problem. Convert the problem into a springboard for possibilities.
A doctor does not cure illness but allows the healing process within to surface by giving it the right condition. So, too, the true healer exists within you. But you have to create the right condition. By looking at the mountain you can’t climb the mountain, you should will yourself to climb the mountain. Optimise this will for you to be above worry.
What should one do to be successful in life?
Ultimately what you need is self-confidence, mental toughness, commitment to excel and the ability to use the power of imagination.
What do you mean by self-confidence?
There are three pillars of self-confidence: Feeling good, taking responsibility and developing skills. There are both healthy ways and unhealthy ways of feeling good. You should develop the discipline to feel good in a healthy way. The quality of one’s life is the quality of one’s consistent feeling. There are techniques that are taught how to hold and maintain consistent feelings of empowerment within you.
How does one acquire clarity?
Clarity is acquired not by knowledge but by knowing. It is not a belief system; it is intelligence operating in the domain of freedom. The true meaning of renunciation is not renouncing the world but renouncing bondage. When bondage is renounced there is freedom, the most important thing. In freedom lies intelligence. It is not just discipline but true freedom. Freedom is not something devoid of order; it is a flowering of order

Mock God? What an idiot. Who said God wrote these books. A rather stupid question for someone who thinks they are smarter then God.
