Choosing Cheer
Experiencing the Joy of Jesus in the Everyday and Unimaginable
Do you know Jesus but wonder where joy is? Do you find joy when things are smooth sailing but when life gets choppy, does joy seem out of reach? Are you overwhelmed with the state of the world? In this thoughtful and uplifting guide, Nicolet Bell helps readers understand why we should choose cheer, she identifies what is stealing our cheerfulness, and she offers tools to help us choose cheer every day, even when life is challenging. She believes that joy is not just dependent on our circumstances, but is a choice we can make intentionally if we embrace the love of Jesus and accept the help of the Holy Spirit. Choosing Cheer avoids toxic positivity by giving readers practical solutions to connect with Jesus and live in the joy of faith in him by incorporating a gratitude practice, using breath exercises, and implementing scripture memorization.

“In Choosing Cheer, Nicolet Bell takes a concept I’ve been trying to understand for much of my adult life—joy in the midst of suffering—and makes it so biblically clear. She isn’t just telling us to pick up our pom poms and pretend, but to dig in to God’s Word and grow deep roots in His truth. That’s where stabilizing joy can be found. It’s all about Jesus, and reading this book will help you know Him more.”
“Nicolet encourages us all to choose cheer even during difficult moments and unexpected trials. She writes in a way that connects with the reader, and makes you feel connected to her as a friend. I recommend this book for anyone needing more joy in their everyday. This book is a guide I will be going back to often.”
“A must-read for anyone seeking a life marked by joy that goes beyond life’s circumstances. With profound biblical insight and practical encouragement, Bell reminds us that abiding in God’s presence and embracing an eternal perspective allows us to experience lasting cheer as both a promise and a way of life. She beautifully equips readers to cultivate intentional joy through contentment, surrender, and prayer. This book is a powerful reminder that, no matter our circumstances, cheer is both a command and a gift we can experience through the Holy Spirit.”
