You need an Apocrypha. I looked them up for you :
l &ll Macabees, Wisdom of Solomon, l&ll Esdras, Rest of Esther, Tobit, Judith, Ecclesiasticus, Song of 3 children, Story of Susanna, Idol Bel and the dragon, Prayer of Manasses, Bauuch. These books were excluded from the Protestant Church after the reformation brought by God through Martin Luther. I've read much of it and find it of little value, you can tell these works have a different spirit about them.

Do you mean the ones excluded from the KJV. There are 7 that have been excluded from the KJV of the bible and they are
Their names are Tobias, Baruch, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, I Maccabees, II Maccabees, together with seven chapters of the Book of Esther and 66 verses of the 3rd chapter of Daniel, commonly called "the Song of the Three Children". These were deliberately cut out of the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament started in the third century B.C. in Alexandria, Egypt and completed around 100 B.C.), based on the criticisms and remarks of Luther, Calvin, and the Swiss and German Reformers. Were it not for the resistance of the more conservative Reformers, Luther would have excluded the Epistle of St. James (which he called "an Epistle of straw"), the Epistle of St. Jude, the Epistle to the Hebrews, and the Book of Revelation from the Protestant New Testament as well.

Do you mean the books that are included in the Catholic Bible and not in the Protestant version?
If so, they are:
Judith, Tobias, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, 1st and 2nd Maccabees, and Sirach.
They are included in any Catholic translation of the Bible, or you can do a Google search for the Apocrypha. Or, if you mean things like the Gnostic gospels, you can also Google them, as well.

You can ask for an Apocryphal at any Christian supply store. Just understand that apocryphal means false. The dead sea scrolls have apocryphal books also. Some modern day apocryphal would include holy books that came after the bible & claim to be better written than the Holy Bible.
Apocryphal means false, so also the bible writes that anyone who adds or takes away or changes the meaning of Gods Word (Gods total message found in the Holy Bible); will be found out to be a lie.
It is easy to discern an apocryphal writing when one is anointed with the Spirit of Truth. I can read the gospel of Thomas web site above & easily discern the error in it.

They are called the apocrypha, end if you just use web
search here in yahoo and type that.
Then at about no.10 in the search list you'll find a
browsable bible that contains them.
