It is important that God's people understand why the Apocryphal books (also called the Deuterocanonical Books) are rejected from the canon of inspired Scripture.

http://www.biblebelievers.net/BibleVersions/kjcapocr.htm

”Though some of the Apocryphal books do have historical value, giving information regarding the inter-testament "quiet years" prior to the coming of Christ, there is no justification for giving these a place in the Holy Scripture. Their proper place is on the same level as (if not lower than) the writings of the historian Josephesus or of some other uninspired writer of that period.”

You must have missed the part of the article that pointed out that there are several references in the NT to the Deuterocanonicals (Jesus and the Apostles quoting the Deuterocanon, for instance)...
