Elaine Townsend, wife of the founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators, lived an eventful and inspiring life in service to her Lord and ours. Simona Gorton’s biography captures her unique personality and her love for the Savior in a delightful way. While this book will be an encouragement for women, young and old alike, men would be wise to read it as well.

In Better Than We Dreamed, author Simona Gorton takes you on a global journey from Chicago in the Depression to Hitler’s Germany and the warring Middle East, then to the virgin jungles of South America and finally Russia during the Cold War. A gripping true story weaves together lively narrative with Elaine’s own thoughts and writings.
