Born just months apart in 1966 and raised in neighboring towns along Highway 42 in North Carolina, Philip Mitchell and Billy Lanier could never have imagined where life would take them, or how deeply their lives would be intertwined. What began as shared love for sports and small-town rivalries grew into a bond forged through faith, coaching, purpose, and unwavering loyalty.

We Have Done Life Together isn't simply a sports memoir. It is a story of brotherhood that spans decades: through championship seasons and heartbreaking losses, through marriages and fatherhood, through illness, grief, and seasons when survival itself became the goal.

From the halls of St. Augustine's University to packed gyms in Prince George's County...

From building a championship basketball program to sitting beside hospital beds...

From youthful dreams to divine assignments...

This book chronicles what it truly means to show up for a friend, not only when the lights are bright, but when life grows dark.

At its core, We Have Done Life Together is a tribute to faith, friendship, and the quiet power of being your brother's keeper. It is a story for coaches, fathers, brothers, and anyone who believes that God places people in our lives not by accident, but by design.
