The Other Wise Man

Book •
'The Other Wise Man' by Henry van Dyke tells the story of Artaban, a Persian Magi who sets out to join the three wise men in Bethlehem but is delayed by acts of charity along the way.

Over three decades, Artaban encounters suffering and need, giving away the precious jewels he intended to present to the Christ child.

He arrives in Jerusalem too late for the Nativity, but continues his search, performing acts of kindness and sacrifice.

Finally, he meets the Christ in the form of a dying leper, realizing that in serving others, he has indeed found the King.
