I downloaded the Ancient Context Ancient Faith Series (3 Volumes) by Gary Burge on Friday.
The Bible and the Land - Encounters With Jesus - Jesus the Middle Eastern Story Teller

I had seen one of these books in a Christian bookstore some time ago and considerered purchasing it. The problem was that it was not a lenghty book. Each of these volumes is just over 100 pages with a total of all three at 352 pages. Personally, I like larger volumes but I was definitely not disappointed in what I have read so far. I have worked my way through The Bible and the Land and am currently about half way through Encounters With Jesus. If you are considering this set I would highly recommend adding it to your library. Though it is not a large set and there are a lot of pictures and maps scattered throughout, the pictures really add to the quality and understanding of the text. I am looking forward to more from Gary Burge.
