VIDEO PREVIEW Based on Henry van Dyke's classic, "The Story of the Other Wise Man," The Fourth Wise Man is a fictional story set in Biblical times. Artaban, the Magi, hopes to present the Messiah with a gift, but, because of his empathy toward others, he has nothing to give when he meets him. But he gave the greatest gift of all to the King. Here is the gripping story of one man's unstoppable search for the true meaning of life.
