How to know that the Bible is God's inspired Word?

Let me share with you an illustration to clarify this.
Suppose a Manager of a company dictated 66 letters to 40 secretaries over a period of 10 years to send to a particular client. We could file all 66 letters into one folder, because the author of all these letters is the Manager who dictated them and not the secretaries who wrote them.
Similarly, the Bible contains 66 books written by more than 40 writers over a period of 1600 years. This only means that the Author of all the 66 books is the same person. As the whole Bible took 1600 years to write from beginning to the end, the only person who could live 1600 years or more is God.
Therefore, we can conclude that God is the Author of the Bible. What does the Bible say about its authority?
