A book about the leader of a controversial West Coast religious cult has shot to the top of the New Zealand bestseller list.
Publishers Longacre Press said yesterday it had ordered a second print run of The Sins of The Father, by Phil Cooper, about his father, Gloriavale Christian Community leader Hopeful Christian.
Longacre publishing director Barbara Larson said the book went to the top of the bestseller list after only two days.
"Interest seems fairly widespread, and there's real interest on the West Coast."
