Giving Up Gore - 2nd edition: When Our Worst Fear Became Our Greatest Gift

GIVING UP GORE is a gripping and factual account of a family's unbelievable journey. They experience the undeniable truth: earth-shattering miracles do happen.

Gore Otteson is a curious toddler with a habit of getting into anything he's not supposed to. This leads to the beginning of a bad nightmare when he sneaks away on his family's Colorado property. After an agonizing search, his body is discovered in an irrigation ditch - presumably drowned.

In the ensuing chaos, his parents are pitted in a test of endurance. Gore is given a less than one-percent chance of ever resuming normal brain function. Though struggling with their son's likely fate, Amy and Dave Otteson cling to their faith and the reminder of God's power and the perfection of His plan. Little do they know just how remarkable the results of that plan will be...

Amy and Dave Otteson live in Golden, Colorado and are parents to their three young children. Dave works as a banker in Denver and Amy is a full-time homemaker. Giving Up Gore was a "labor of love" written out of obedience to share first hand evidence of God's healing power. "It was not something that came easy for us, but we felt that the true story with all the facts and multiple miracles needed to be shared," Dave said. "It is not a story that can be rationalized with medical science." Amy and Dave love time with their family in the mountains. They enjoy skiing and snowboarding with their kids as much as possible and look forward to the summer months in Colorado to camp, fish, and mountain bike. Their family's story has been featured on the Today Show, 700 Club, Dr. Oz and other news media outlets. They have shared Gore's miracle with different church groups and Amy continues to be involved as a speaker to MOPS and other women's conferences.
