Do you know where I can find the Book of Mary and other books like that not mentioned in the New Testament?

The only reason why I want Christians only is because they are the only ones that will give serious answers.

Why don't you try a Christian bookstore or http://www.amazon.com

Why my brother in the Lord, do you ask for something that you already know in your heart, the answer?! Do you not know already that many good Christian books stores, and even places like Barnes and Nobles, carry this work known as the book of Mary?
Only the works that were considered 'inspired' of God were allowed to be included in the canon of both the Old and New Testaments. The books of Mary, Thomas and Judas, just didn't cut the mustard, so to speak!
That doesn't mean that they have NO real historical value for us today, for you'll remember that Jude the apostle, quotes from the 'book of Enoch' as though it were inspired!!!

Here in Jude 14, we read:
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment, . . .'

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and your asking Christians that
report me i dare you i don't care i can make a million ids who actually cares
as for you question what you are referring to are called the gnostic gospels and you can find them on the Internet with this name they include the gospel of Mary Iudas and other writings which the church considered a threat to their religion so they burned almost every copy (i maybe an atheist but that doesn't mean I don't know even more about religions then most Christians)
so you can see why your question is nonsense oh and if i want i can actually report your question just because every person has a right to be here and no matter what anyone of any faith race whatever can answer any question doesn't matter how much you don't like it so pls go ahead report me i don't care

There is no book of Mary, that I know of. Now there are books in the Old Testament and books in the Apocrypha.
The books in the Apocrypha are generally considered to be fictitious or legend and cannot be considered to be the inspired Word of God. But there is no book of Mary in either the Old Testament, New Testament, or the Apocrypha.
After reading some of the answers, I wonder if I might have misunderstood your question. I thought you were asking about a Biblical book of Mary. I am sure there are many other books, outside of the Holy Bible about Mary.

I'm not sure why you are asking Christians only. As a Gnostic, I would know much better than most Christians. I assume you are talking about the Gospel of Mary. It and many other writings not mentioned in the New Testament can be found at http://www.gnosis.org They can also be found in the Gnostic Bible, and The Other Bible (minus the Gospel of Mary).

I'm a Christian but I've never heard of the Book of Mary. Maybe it's in the Catholic Bible.

The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene

I'm a former christian, that should count for something.

Anyway, each is available in english translation on the web. I found the most up to date on Mary here: http://www.gnosis.org/library/marygosp.htm

Others can be found here too, but a quick search using the words "Gospel of _____" will get you what you're looking for.

Sure,

EDIT: Sorry. I don't see the Gospel of Mary, but the Birth of Mary. Everything else seems to be there though.

There are many esoteric bookstores all of which have all the existing "gnostic" gospels. You may very well see why so many of those books were not included. A lot of them were just not written well.
