13251, The Bible: Where' s the REST of it?

The Bible is often considered as being the complete "works of the LORD." Even the hands of men have not been able to disturb or taint the "word of God." Or have they?

In the Bible there are several references to other books of God that are not in the current (Protestant) Bible of today.
Examples:

(all from NASV)
Numbers 21:14
Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD

Joshua 10:13
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.
Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

2 Samuel 1:18
and he told them to teach the sons of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar.

1 Chronicles 29:29
"Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of Gad the seer,

2 Chronicles 9:29
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

2 Chronicles 12:15
Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, according to genealogical enrollment? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

2 Chronicles 20:34
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first to last, behold, they are written in the annals of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.


So the question is: Where is the REST of the Bible?
