Are there any books (with the exception of Thus Spoke Zarathustra) that are written in that very unique Bible style?

Absolutely random example from the New Testament:
>But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
>He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
>But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
>And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.
>Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
>And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
>Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

The English translations of Bahai writings by Shoghi Effendi are in the style of the KJV.

There is also a translation of the Quran that uses the same KJV style, and it also translates 'Allah' into 'God'.
