Did you know that Jesus Christ was the only person who ever had His biography written before He was born? Just think about that. Why would you care about something other than the Bible?
The Hebrew Scriptures contain more than 300 prophecies about Jesus. It boggles the mind.
I have read the Bible from cover-to-cover many times and each time I learn more. Other books are good but there is just no comparison between them and the Bible.
Some books I've really enjoyed are:
Knowing God by J.I. Packer
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
Jesus Among Other gods by Ravi Zacharias
The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
Edit: I disagree with Don regarding A Course in Miracles. I bought a copy years ago when I was going through a very bad time in my life. I knew I needed some miracles but after a time I realized that I was "moonwalking" away from my heavenly Father. It was cherishing the Gift but not the Giver. I ended up ripping the cover off the book (as a reminder to me) and putting the paper in the recycling bag. I did not want to pass along my mistake to somebody else.

There are four gospels in the Bible. However there were lots (in the hundreds) of gospels submitted to be entered into the New Testament. Some of these would have also been about the life of Jesus.
However i dont think you will find a concise biography of his life, afterall it was roughly 2000 years ago.

Well the history channel had a really good serious on that. I cant remeber what exactly it was called. But it speculated what the actual life of jesus would of been like. And talks about him through the eyes of historians. And without a byist and based on evidence instead of folklore.

I went to the amazon.com site and chose books from the pull down list and typed in "Jesus" and "biography" as keywords. Here is what I got:

"Rabbi Jesus" looks to be an interesting one.

None, No other books. . The bible is complete about Jesus.Read carefully. Ask the help of God. Refrain from sin, so that God will guide you. You will find out who is Jesus from the beginning up to the end.
Other books will mislead you about the truth.
Pro 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

The Bible is the only Truth about Jesus.

A biography of a fictional character is one that cannot be written. Religious texts aside, there is no actual proof that the man ever lived.

Peace!
There are non-canonical books about Jesus but they are not biographies.
